Olivia Newton-John’s ex-husband wants fans to “celebrate the joy” that the late actress brought to the world.
Matt Lattanzi and his current wife, Michelle Lattanzi, reacted to the news of Newton-John’s death in a joint statement shared on Facebook Monday.
“Today we lost one of the world’s greats Olivia Newton-John. Matt and I are so overwhelmed with the love and gratitude shared with us by friends, family and a deeply loving community of fans who will all miss Olivia’s presence in this world,” Michelle wrote.
“I have heard truly lovely stories and memories from people near and far, and honor in each of you where those feelings and memories come from,” she continued.
“Nothing will replace the icon we lost, yet her legacy is alive and well in our hearts and memories, as well as her contributions to our global culture, her beloved daughter Chloe Lattanzi, and her cancer research and wellness center in Melbourne, AU.”
Michelle concluded the post, “Please honor your sadness, and then celebrate the joy that Olivia’s heart and lifetime achievements endowed in our world. Sending all kinds of love XOXO 
The “Physical” singer met Matt, now 63, on the set of “Xanadu” in 1980. They dated for four years before saying “I do” in 1984 and welcoming their daughter, Chloe, in 1986.
After the pair’s 1995 divorce, Matt was married to their former babysitter Cindy Jessup from 1997 to 2007. Newton-John, meanwhile, wed John Easterling in 2008.
Easterling, 70, asked for “privacy during this very difficult time” when he announced his wife’s death in a social media post commemorating her “triumphs and hope.”
The Grammy winner was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992 and again in 2013 and 2017. She discussed in 2021 how it had progressed to stage 4.
