Olivia surprises everyone with wedding plans - Joepie

Translation from Dutch:

So, it's finally happened! Olivia Newton-John, 32, has announced that she'll be getting married in the near future to her long-term boyfriend, Matt Lattanzi, who is ten years younger than her.

Olivia and Matt met while filming Xanadu, in which Matt played the younger Gene Kelly. They've kept their romance a closely guarded secret, though, and when Olivia's wedding plans were announced a few weeks ago, even her closest friends were stunned. It remains to be seen how her male fans will react to this fairytale wedding!

Cliff In The Cold

One person who doesn't hide his surprise about the wedding plans is Cliff Richard, a close friend of Olivia's for years.

According to one of his employees, he simply thinks the idea is crazy. Does he perhaps feel sidelined? His employee speaks out. Olivia was the only woman who always popped up in Cliff's life, he says. The two have a kind of brother-sister relationship. Cliff was always ready to support Olivia with words and deeds, and he was truly shocked when he first heard of her wedding plans.

Just this summer, Cliff and Olivia spent romantic days in London. There were whispers that they had started an affair. Although Olivia and Matt's romance had already lasted eight months, Matt was nowhere to be seen in London. Not even at the party Olivia threw at the exclusive Stringfellows club, which was even attended by her sister Rona and her father.

Well, life takes unpredictable turns, and everything points to Matt having finally captured Olivia's heart. But for how long, her best friends wonder. Olivia has always sworn to marriage for life. I don't see that happening with Matt, a friend says frankly.

Too Young For Olivia

Olivia and Matt have been living together in Malibu for eight months. The crazy thing is, even their best friends didn't see any merit in their romance. Everyone thought Matt was too young for her.

I was initially approached for the role of Olivia's boyfriend in Xanadu, Matt says in an exclusive chat, but eventually the producer told me I was too young to be Olivia's boyfriend. See?

Matt may be young, but he certainly doesn't act rashly. I'm waiting until I earn enough money to support a family before I get married. I don't want to live off Olivia's fortune. I want to make it happen myself.

And he's well on his way. In Rich and Famous, Matt has already been given the lead role. He plays a gigolo who seduces an older woman for the money. And this doesn't involve Olivia, Matt says pointedly.
