After experiencing numerous ups and downs, Olivia Newton-John’s daughter Chloe Lattanzi now faces additional heartache.
Reports indicate that the 25-year-old has called off her engagement to fiancé James Driskill upon discovering that he is already married.
The singer from Los Angeles was anticipated to wed the martial arts expert later this year. However, it is reported that she learned from a friend about his marriage to a Swiss national named Nina in 2005, from which he never divorced. It is also claimed that he was living with Nina when he first met Chloe in 2009, even though he and his wife had separated at that time.
A friend shared, ‘Chloe is heartbroken, and so is her mother. She’s endured so much emotional distress already, and everyone was excited to see her finally appear happy.’
To help her daughter through this difficult time, the Grease star is offering support.
Moreover, Chloe is said to have learned about James’ secret from a friend who revealed the shocking news while they were out celebrating their upcoming wedding.
According to reports, James married Nina in 2005 after meeting her during a snowboarding trip to Mammoth Mountain in California the year prior.
Chloe and James first crossed paths in November 2009 at an LA club where he worked as a bouncer.
The article mentions that James separated from his wife four months before meeting Chloe and that he has indicated to friends that the lack of divorce stemmed from a ‘combination of lack of money and lack of experience.’ Now, he reportedly desires to proceed with the wedding early next year, but Chloe is not in any hurry to walk down the aisle.
A source added, ‘Olivia is very protective of her daughter and wants to ensure that Chloe doesn’t face any more hurt than she already has.’
Recently, Chloe released a controversial music video for her new single, Play With Me, which features scenes depicting suicide, self-harm, and apparent drug use.
