Olivia Newton’s husband John Easterling paid his wife a moving tribute on Instagram after her death at the age of 73. But who is he and what did the Australian singer say about her relationship with him?
Olivia has reportedly been battling cancer for years and her husband has been taking care of her. After her death, the family said that all donations made in her memory would go to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation.
As the entertainment industry and fans mourn the loss of Olivia, let’s take a look at her personal life.
Who is John Easterling?
Like Olivia, her husband John is an activist. He is also an American businessman who is currently the CEO and Chairman of Amazon Herb.
He is 70 years old, which means that Olivia was almost three years older than him. The couple first met in 2005, when Olivia was already battling cancer.
Although John does not appear to have his own Instagram account, you can find him in many of Olivia’s posts on the social media platform.
The last photo of the two of them together was shared three days ago and it was simply called ‘Flashback Day’.
Olivia Newton-John felt so blessed to have met her husband
Olivia admires her husband because of the man he is. He is a “botanical man”, who cultivated medicinal cannabis for his wife.
Paying tribute to her husband, the star once told People: “I am so lucky to be married to a wonderful man who works in plant medicine, and has great knowledge. Now he grows medicinal cannabis for me, and it has been wonderful. She helps me in every area.”
Olivia’s daughter, Chloe, followed in her mother’s footsteps, and continued her career in music.
Today, she paid tribute to her loving mother with a black and white throwback photo with no comment. Young Chloe can be seen planting a kiss on Olivia’s lips.
