Translation from Danish:
Now the family comes first. There has been a change. My marriage to Matt changed everything. I love him so much, and we are both very busy with our little daughter Chloe. She is two years old, but is still a sensation to us,
says Olivia Newton-John, 38 years old.
Life as a mother and wife may be mundane and a bit boring for most people but for me, it's paradise itself after so many years of constantly traveling. Being a star is tempting for many people, and for me too, of course. But in the end, you just long to be allowed to be yourself. To nurture yourself and your family. It's nice to just be a normal woman, a mother, a wife. That's the thing about the grass always being greener on the other side
"
Olivia Newton-John doesn't look any older than we remember her from the hit films Grease
and Xanadu.
She has a very youthful mind, which gives her personality a sparkling zest.
She smiles at the series of compliments. Are you absolutely sure you remember correctly
, says Olivia. Well, at least I've become a more mature woman now, and I feel a great responsibility towards Matt and Chloe. You can't live as if you were 17 your whole life. So Matt and I have consolidated ourselves, you could say - with this house in Malibu, California. And then we recently bought a country house in Australia, where my parents live. It's also for my daughter's sake. I want her to look up to her grandparents a lot. She should also get to know her mother's roots. Experience my birthplace and homeland.
I am happier than ever, and I really enjoy my life as a regular housewife with a husband and child, says Olivia.
When asked if she is considering moving back to Australia and settling there, she replies: - Unfortunately, we can't right now. We live right in the middle of showbiz. There are still offers for me. And besides, this is where all the contacts are made. But on the other hand, the Los Angeles area is not a healthy place for a child to grow up. I feel unsafe with all the temptations that exist here. I see them as a great danger for our little Chloe. I want her to have a quiet childhood and a harmonious time as a teenager. Ugh, that must have sounded terribly old-fashioned,
Olivia smiles.
Olivia and Matt take us around their beautiful home. She has had Chloe in her arms for most of our visit. But now it's Dad's turn, because Olivia has to go to work in the studio.

Here she is. Olivia Newton-John - still a huge star at the age of 38. More beautiful, younger, more lovely to look at than ever.
