Lover wanted
Fancy sharing a teepee in Malibu, California? This could be your chance (if you are female).
Olivia Newton-John’s didgeridoo playing, bandanna wearing, roll-your-own smoking former husband, Matt Lattanzi, is looking for love, says Austrralias Woman’s Day magazine, which this week vists Lattanzi in a teepee he put up in a paddock in California, not far from Newton-John’s Malibu mansion.
“I visualise myself with a woman who will stand beside me in our garden — in our small, humble house off the grid that we’ve built ourselves, living life simply.”
He split from his second wife, Cindy Jessup, 18 months ago and has put out a call for a new partner.
“I miss having a partner,” he said. “I would specifically like to put out an invitation to a woman who fits the bill for who I’m looking for in my life.
Lattanzi, star of the short-lived Australian soap Paradise Beach, has turned his back on the mainstream. He lives in the teepee, sleeps on a rug-covered mattress that he also uses as a couch and grows custard apples in honour of Newton-John.
It is an eccentric lifestyle and his search for love sounds like a reality show in the making.
Lattanzi was last seen sitting in his teepee singing with his daughter, Chloe, on the US cable show Rock the Cradle. Chloe and her frighteningly engorged lips made it to the finals in the kids-of-famous-parents talent show Rock The Cradle. She may have come third, but she left her mark on the fame radar. Viewers saw a hysterical Chloe, who evidently takes her “street cred” seriously, bursting into tears at the prospect of singing Britney Spear’s pop song Toxic, before seeking solace in her father’s teepee.
Chloe chanted like a banshee inside the teepee as her dad played didgeridoo. This clearly worked for Chloe, who received rousing applause for her slightly apocalyptic version of Toxic
