James Driskill Is Chloe Lattanzi's Longtime Partner She Married Secretly in a Beachside Ceremony

Olivia Newton-John's only daughter Chloe Lattanzi is married to martial arts trainer James Driskill whom she wed in a romantic beach ceremony in the Bahamas.

Beloved singer and actress Olivia Newton-John died on August 8, 2022, at 73, leaving her only daughter, Chloe Lattanzi, devastated.

In the aftermath of her loss, Chloe Lattanzi's greatest comfort and source of strength has been her husband, James Driskill, whom she secretly married in the Bahamas.

Born on January 17, 1986, ​​Chloe Lattanzi is the only child of Olivia Newton-John, and her first husband, Matt Lattanzi. Olivia Newton-John started her career as a singer, won four Grammy Awards, and recorded nearly a score of hits.

As an actress, Newton-John is best remembered for her work in the cult classic "Grease," with John Travolta, and films like "She's Having a Baby," with Elizabeth McGovern and Kevin Bacon.

Like her mother, Chloe is a talented singer and recorded duets with Newton-John. Chloe is also an actress with credits in films like "The Wilde Girls," "Sharknado 5: Global Swarming," and "Deltopia."

Chloe has spoken openly about her battle with anorexia and body dysmorphia as a teenager, which led to plastic surgery she later regretted. Years later, she found peace and tranquility by the side of her husband, James Driskill.

James Driskill Has Been Chloe Lattanzi's Partner for Almost 15 Years

Chloe and Driskill met in 2009, and she revealed that it was love at first sight. The couple became engaged eight months later but were content with their status for years. Chloe said:

"We've been married in spirit since the moment we met. (...) We know we're soulmates; we know we're committed — we call each other husband and wife — so we're just like, 'OK, we'll get to the paperwork when we have time.'"

There were rumors that the two had called off the engagement in 2011, but if there were problems, they overcame them, and over a decade later, they are going strong. In a 2022 Instagram post, Chloe gushed:

"You are truly treasured, my darling. I wanted to give you my heart for the rest of my life the moment we locked eyes. I am so blessed that you are such a complete weirdo that you felt the same."

James Driskill Is a Martial Arts Expert and Cannabis Farmer

According to his Facebook profile, Driskill studied Physics and philosophy at Santa Monica College and holds a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu.

Driskill has been a martial arts instructor in California since 2005 and teaches in Oregon as a private Jiu-Jitsu professor.

In 2016, Chloe and Driskill moved from Los Angeles to Oregon, where they started a cannabis farm. Recreational marijuana is now legal to grow and sell in Oregon, and the couple chose a more tranquil lifestyle far from LA.

Chloe and Driskill lived in Oregon when Olivia Newton-John died in Santa Ynez, California, after battling breast cancer for decades.

Olivia Newton-John Officiated at Chloe and James’ Secret Wedding Ceremony

For years, there were rumors that Chloe and Driskill were married, and in 2020 she confessed that they called each other husband and wife without being legally wed.

Then, after Newton-John's death, Chloe stunned fans by sharing a video in which her mother officiated at her beach wedding to Driskill in the Bahamas. Chloe captioned the post:

"This was one of the most precious moments of my life. Years ago, in the Bahamas, I asked my gorgeous mama to marry me to this incredible man. Thank you, mama, for everything."

The couple has not explained why they didn't reveal the secret wedding before Olivia Newton-John's death, but her presence on their special day is a precious gift they will treasure. There is no indication that Matt Lattanzi was present at his daughter's wedding.
