Newton-John: 'I'm happier than ever'

Olivia Newton-John has revealed that she has never been happier.

The 61-year-old star, who has had to deal with her daughter Chloe's public battle with anorexia and the disappearance of her ex-boyfriend Patrick McDermott in the past few years, says that she owes her "fantastic" life to husband of two years John Easterling.

Newton-John told Woman's Day magazine: "This is the happiest I've ever been. Married life is fantastic."

The actress and singer was recently awarded the prestigious Medal of the Order of Australia from the country's Governor General for her contribution to showbiz.
