Olivia Newton-John talks moving on from her ex

She was left devastated when her ex-husband Patrick McDermott mysteriously went missing during a fishing trip in San Pedro, California, in 2005.

And according to Woman's Day, he's now living in Mexico with his German girlfriend.

But despite Olivia Newton-John's hardships, the actress has revealed it's all worked out okay because she's found the 'love of her life' in current husband John Easterling.

Sharing that it was during a trip to the Amazon that Olivia Newton-John, 68, fell head over heels for businessman, John Easterling, 64, she says: “I dated a little bit, but I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with him and then bam!”

“He’s incredibly smart and compassionate. He says yes to everything, he says yes to life!” she tells People.

“One of the hardest things is not knowing,” says Olivia about what actually happened to her ex.

Olivia reported him missing when he failed to show up for a family gathering.

She confessed to the publication it’s been an extremely “traumatic” experience but she’s so grateful she’s had John by her side, helping her through the tough times over the years.

“I’m very lucky I have a wonderful, beautiful husband who is just so loving and fantastic. I always tell my friends you’re never too old to find love. I found the love of my life at 59 going on 60! I’m grateful.”
