Olivia Newton-John’s Daughter Opens Up About Healing After Mother’s Death

Olivia Newton-John’s daughter, Chloe Lattanzi, celebrates her mother’s life in beautiful ways as she had promised. On the Grease star’s 76th posthumous birthday, the 38-year-old singer released her new single, “Phoenix.” The song was inspired by her commitment to “fly,” embrace self-worth and be positive.

In a recent interview, Chloe shared, “I co-wrote Phoenix for my mom as a promise to love myself and live life fully.” She has also opened up about battling mental health issues and dealing with grief since Olivia’s passing from breast cancer two years ago.

Olivia Newton-John’s influence on her daughter’s musical journey was immense, “Mom always wanted me to be happy and share my gifts with the world.” Chloe fondly recalled her mother’s enthusiasm for the song when she was working on it. “She listened to it every day and would say, ‘Come on, baby, put it out,’” she said. 

Olivia Newton-John’s daughter was also a strong support system for her mother. She prioritized caring for Olivia when her health declined. Now, releasing the song that she had started working on years ago feels like a heartfelt tribute to her.

For Chloe, it is her goal to support anyone going through the same health challenges her mother had. “And for anyone who’s struggling with issues of the body, the mind, or the spirit, I want it to be a reminder to them that they are incredibly more powerful than they could ever imagine. You are not what has happened to you, and you are not the illness that you have. You are eternal, bright light.”

Olivia Newton-John’s daughter is taking steps to further her mother’s mission: Wellness and cancer research. On October 6, she will lead Olivia’s Walk for Wellness in Melbourne, Australia, an event that raises funds for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre. Reflecting on her journey, Chloe shared how her mother’s strength inspired her own. “When she passed, I didn’t feel strong at all. But I love her so much, and I couldn’t let everything she stood for fade away.”
