The best-known female pop vocalist of the 1970s, Olivia Newton-John, who appeared in “Grease” and “Xanadu,” passed away on Monday. She was 73. Although a cause of death was not disclosed, Newton-John was found to have breast cancer in 2017, when it reappeared for the third time.
Her ex-husband Matt Lattanzi and her divorce was quite talked about back then. Unfortunately, the reason behind their separation still seems to puzzle music lovers. Let’s get to the depth of the gone days.
Why Did Olivia Newton-John and Husband Matt Lattanzi Divorce?
British-Australian singer Olivia Newton-John’s passing away was revealed by her beloved husband through an extremely sad statement. However, it is her previous marriage that is grabbing her eyeballs currently.
In the year 1984, she tied the knot with former American actor cum dancer Matt Lattanzi. He is most known for being the first husband of the actress and singer Dame Olivia Newton-John, as well as for his roles in movies like My Tutor and the soap series Paradise Beach.
The couple was extremely adored, but very little is known about them together. In the year 1989, the two were captured at the Oscars. The black-white picture was bright with the light these two carried with their love. Nobody actually thought this pair would not last. Unfortunately, the unexpected happened, and John and Lattanzi signed the divorce papers in 1995.
The reason behind their separation is still a mystery. However, she did get married again to the love of her life in 2008 and was by his side until she took her last breath.
Is Olivia Newton-John Survived By Her Kids?
Chloe Lattanzi is the only adult daughter of Olivia Newton-John. It is Chloe, who is married, in her 30s, and addicted to plastic surgery. She regrets the changes she made to her appearance, which made her seem nothing like her lovely, ageless mother anymore.
She and her fiance James Driskill, with whom she has been engaged since 2010, maintain a legal cannabis farm in Oregon.
The mother-daughter duo remains really close. While Covid-19 had disrupted her daughter’s wedding preparations, her mother told Daily News in September 2021 that she had already chosen her dress.
Olivia Newton-John’s Ex-Boyfriend’s Disappearance
During an overnight fishing trip off the coast of Los Angeles, California, on June 30, 2005, American cameraman Patrick Kim McDermott vanished. He and Olivia Newton-John had a sporadic relationship.
He was most likely lost at sea, according to the United States Coast Guard. Unfounded rumors that McDermott faked his own death and is still alive in Mexico have been made since his disappearance, especially in Australian media.
This is the very reason why the media called Newton’s love life to be messy.
