Unbelievably, it has been over two years since the beloved Olivia Newton-John passed away, leaving behind legions of adoring fans, as well as her husband John Easterling and daughter Chloe Rose Lattanzi, who she shared with ex-husband Matt Lattanzi.

The iconic Grease actress passed away on August 8, 2022, after a lengthy battle against breast cancer.

Two years on, her husband has carried on her mission of breast cancer advocacy, and has recently reflected on how life has been without her by his side.

Speaking with People, John, 72, looked back on the love he and Olivia shared for over ten years, and how he doesn’t expect to find anything like it again.

“Olivia and I had a love so big and so indefinite in time,” he said, noting: “We embraced it as something even bigger than ourselves. We never had any petty arguments or anything like that.”

He went on: “I mean, our whole life experience and the things that we shared and believed in were just too important. I didn’t even think love could be like that,” and emphasized: “That’s not going to happen again, I mean, I don’t expect it.”

He further shared: “More recently, I’m getting messages coming from Olivia when I’m in Peru at our special places there, and those messages are like ‘Love life, live life. Life is very, very precious, and don’t waste a moment of life because it’s a very thin veil that separates us.'”

John says that love “can express itself in many forms and many ways. It’s having loving relationships with everyone in your life. It’s just different expressions,” however he emphasized: “I couldn’t imagine it being possible the first time. So I can’t imagine it being possible again.”

“I’m still at the ranch, but we just put it on the market. I’ve got the animals here, the horses and cat and dog. We’re all just moving forward,” he said, though also added: “I have that very strong presence of her all the time. And sometimes even last night with the full moon, she was so present. And then today I was just listening to the song ‘My Dream,’ the Jim Brickman song, and it was just so spectacular,” referring to a recent song featuring a long lost recording of Olivia. 

“It really just sent me into a supernatural space of emotion and joy.”
