LONDON - The woman who took up with Olivier Martinez after he dumped Kylie Minogue says she didn't steal the French actor away from the Australian pop princess.
Sarai Givati, 25, outraged Minogue's fans when she and Martinez became an item when he split early this year with the singer following her cancer fight.
"We had a relationship but there was no lying on his part and to my knowledge - and I believe him - there was no overlap between him seeing Kylie and then seeing me," Givati told London newspaper, The People.
The Israeli model and Martinez, 41, became lovers in the last week of January, a few days before he and Minogue, 39, announced they were parting after four years.
"When I asked him why he had split from Kylie, all he said was: 'It was time to break up' and that the relationship had run its course.
