Olivia Newton-John’s husband John Easterling describes their ‘supernatural’ love for one another

John Easterling described the ‘magical’ love he shared with his wife Olivia Newton-John during the late icon’s state memorial on Sunday. 

The 70-year-old took to to the state at Hamer Hall in Melbourne, sharing touching moments from their decades long romance. 

He spoke of the ‘supernatural’ love the couple shared, and the first moment he recognised her incredible talent. 

‘You have to understand I wasn’t an Olivia fan, I didn’t know any Olivia music, I hadn’t even seen ‘Grease’ and this was a small, intimate theatre in Miami and the lights went down and I heard Peruvian flutes and she started singing Pearls on a Chain’ he said. 

‘And there was healing in the audience, people around me were crying. I got it. It hit me like a laser beam in the chest that Olivia was a healer and this is one of her mediums of healing.’

John explained that the couple discussed how blessed they were to find each other during a trip to Prague, where they spent time in bohemian cafes. 

‘We were talking about how lucky we were to have found each other. And how in love we were. And how much happiness we were experiencing’ he said. 

‘We thought maybe we should feel guilty because we were so happy, but we decided we’d feel gratitude and just let the happiness run at full throttle.’

The businessman became emotional as he recounted how Olivia proposed marriage to him.

‘We ended up in Scottsdale on Valentine’s Day and I started a charade at dinner and the secret phrase was, “Will you marry me”. And she got “will” and she got “you” and I said rhymes with hairy. Then out of nowhere, she just said, will you marry me? And I said yes’ he said. 

‘She looked stunned for a minute and then started laughing and said, “You rat bag.” That is the story of how Olivia proposed to me.’

John also discussed where Oliva was most at peace.  

‘She’s been honoured by prime ministers and presidents and the Queen and recognised with every possible award and accolade for her talents.

‘I carry and feel Olivia’s presence, her sense of humour and spirit of adventure, the commonality of purpose we shared, and that gives me the strength to carry on until I find her again in that ultimate space of love and light.

‘At Olivia’s deepest essence, she was a healer, using her mediums of song, the words of touch. She was the most courageous woman I’ve ever met.
