Olivia Newton-John marries John Easterling in surprise ceremony

Grease star weds for the second time

John Easterling is Olivia Newton-John's second husband

Olivia Newton-John has tied the knot with partner John Easterling in a secret ceremony.

The actress has been dating the Australian entrepreneur since last year.

Friends thought they were going to her Malibu home for an American Independence Day barbecue.

But when they arrived, Olivia, 59, and John, 49, revealed they were getting hitched.

The nuptials were almost cancelled at the last minute when a bush fire broke out in a nearby canyon.

'John said they could wait a few days, or change the venue, but Olivia was determined that nothing was going to interfere with her special day,’ says a source.

Olivia’s boyfriend-of-9-years, Patrick McDermott, 48, disappeared in 2005 during an overnight fishing trip in California.

'Olivia cried for almost two years,' the source tells the Daily Mail. 'And then she started seeing John last year.

'He put the smile back on her face.'

Olivia divorced her first husband, Matt Lattanzi, in 1993.
