Olivia Newton-John Says Says Thought She'd Never Sing Again After Her Longtime Boyfriend Disappeared
Olivia Newton-John is still hoping her missing boyfriend returns more than three months after he disappeared.
"I love him very much and this is very hard to go through," Newton-John said Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "He has a young son so we still hold out hope that he will come back."
Newton-John's longtime boyfriend, 48-year-old Patrick Kim McDermott, failed to return from a June 30 overnight fishing trip off the California coast.
The Coast Guard has been investigating his disappearance as a missing person case, including the possibility that McDermott had staged his disappearance.
McDermott had filed for bankruptcy in 2000 and was embroiled in a legal dispute in April over late child support payments to his ex-wife, actress Yvette Nipar. The couple have a 13-year-old son.
"It's very much a mystery and speculation has been rife and I choose not to buy into the speculation," Newton-John said. "This is such a personal thing for me and his family and we've chosen not to talk about it because it's an ongoing investigation."
Newton-John, 57, appeared opposite John Travolta in the 1978 movie "Grease." She is best known for songs such as "I Honestly Love You" and "Physical."
The singer, who was diagnosed with breast cancer 13 years ago, recently released a new album, "Stronger Than Before."

I think I know where your boyfriend is. If it's not him it's his identical twin
