What happened to Matt Lattanzi after he ran off with the babysitter?
After running away with the couple’s young nanny Cindy Jessup while the singer battled breast cancer, Lattanzi divorced Olivia Newton John, marrying his new love in 1997.
But Lattanzi’s marriage to Jessup didn’t last long, as the two split in 2007 after 10 years of marriage. He later married his third wife, Michelle, who was initially diagnosed with colon cancer in 2014 but is in remission.
The couple now runs the 115-acre Laughing Dog medical cannabis farm. Lattanzi, after her 1993 appearance in ‘Paradise Beach’, did not star in any more movies. He is currently 63 years old and resides in Oregon in the United States, published Meaww.
