Natalie Imbruglia's male cousin wanted a sex change to look like the singer

Songbird Natalie Imbruglia’s male cousin has confessed he want ed a sex change to look like her.

The Torn singer, 38, reportedly had no idea that her cousin Stephen harboured dreams of becoming a woman.

Stephen, an architect, told to the gorgeous brunette he had been dressing up in secret for some time, but was too afraid to tell anyone.

But after confiding in Nat - who gave him the support he needed to go through with the sex change operation - Stephan is now Stephanie.

The 43-year-old, who lives in Sydney, said: “When I’ve talked to Natalie about it she’s always been very supportive.

“She understands how important it is for me to live my life this way. I think its been obvious to her for years what was happening to me…and now she has given me her blessing.”
