Oliva Newton-John’s Husband Celebrates Her Birthday A Month After Her Passing: ‘Every Day With Olivia There Was A Hint Of Magic

Olivia Newton John's husband, John Easterling, posted a picture of Newton-John and himself from the first birthday they celebrated together to commemorate the late singer who would have celebrated her 74th birthday.

"I remember the first birthday when we were together and I took Olivia on a week-long adventure in the Out islands of the Bahamas, surrounded by beautiful, peaceful, [and] spectacular turquoise water," he wrote.

He reminisced about their vacation together, describing the scenes they saw and the things they did together. "[...[ It was private, it was wonderful, and we would take the boat to uninhabited islands and beach it and just explore - just the two of us."

He recalled an instance wherein they were caught in the middle of a storm as they rode their boat back from Great Guana Cay. He described the dark clouds that rolled in and the strong waves.

"But as quickly as the storm started, the winds died down, the rain stopped, the sun poke through and the seas turned back to that beautiful turquoise," he continued.

"[...] The rainbow started on the left and crystallized all the at over-horizon to horizon-and that's when the dolphins started jumping at the bow of the boat, leading us under the rainbow."

"Every day with Olivia there was a hint of magic and [an] everyday day with Olivia was a bit of the supernatural. Happy Birthday, Honey - I love you!" He wrote.

A Month Ago

On Aug. 8, Easterling announced the passing of the singer via social media. "Dame Olivia Newton-John (73) passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends."

She died after a long battle against breast cancer, reports say. She was first diagnosed with the illness in 1992. She was an advocate for the early detection of breast cancer and launched the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Center in Melbourne, Australia.

Small, Private Memorial

According to Us Magazine, Newton-John's close friends and family held a memorial service in her honor.

"There was a small and very private family gathering in California last week to celebrate Olivia," the source told Us Magazine. "The family prefers to keep the details of the event private at this time."

Another source revealed to People Magazine, "It was at a vineyard near her home in Southern California on the 21st."

Also in attendance were John Travolta, her co-star in the hit 70s movies "Grease," Marie Osmon, Sir Cliff, and Leeza Gibbons.
