Olivia Newton-John's 'joy' at Chloe's 'secret wedding'

Olivia Newton-John has been battling breast cancer for most of 2017, after being diagnosed with the life-threatening condition for the second time.

But despite her incredibly difficult year, the Aussie singer reportedly "has something to smile about" as her daughter Chloe Lattanzi has "secretly" married her long-time beau James Driskill.

According to Woman's Day, the Grease star "couldn't be happier" that her only child has tied the knot.

"It's been a dark year, but they've become a lot closer," a source told the publication. "To see her daughter doing so well after the problems she's had is a dream come true for Olivia."

"They've been as good as married for years," their insider said. "He's very much a part of the family."

Speculation first started swirling Chloe's marital status when she changed her Instagram bio to read, "wife of James" last month.

Olivia has openly talked about her struggles with cancer, admitting she's turned to alternative treatments this time around.

"People have this vision from the ’60s of people just sitting around and getting stoned," she told Today earlier this year, as she defended her decision to use medical cannabis which is legal in her home state of California.

The same publication also reported that Chloe had started IVF in a bid to give her mum grandkids, a claim she slammed in a post on social media.
