Olivia Newton-John is opening up about the late Kelly Preston.
Newton-John, 72, is currently battling stage four metastatic breast cancer. The “A Little More Love” singer was first diagnosed with the disease in 1992 and had a secret battle with cancer in 2013 before her most recent diagnosis in 2017. She recently announced a new foundation in her name to help other cancer survivors.
Speaking about the cause with Entertainment Tonight, Newton-John touched on the death of Preston, who died in July at the age of 57 after battling breast cancer for two years. Prior to her passing, Preston did not go public with her diagnosis.
"Loss is loss, and to lose your mother and your wife is an incredibly difficult thing, and it takes a long time," Newton-John said, referring to Preston. "But ultimately it's a private journey and I respect that for them."
