Boyle gets 1st boyfriend at 53
“That’s the plan,’’ Boyle’s spokeswoman, Nicola Phillips, said Monday. “She met someone when she was in America and the idea is that he can come here.’’
Boyle and the doctor met at a hotel in Clearwater, Florida, Phillips said, adding that Boyle is “definitely’’ happy to have met someone.
The church volunteer from a small Scottish town became a global sensation when she sang the “Les Miserables’’ number “I Dreamed a Dream’’ on TV contest “Britain’s Got Talent’’ in 2009. At first she seemed uncomfortable on stage, but she silenced skeptics as soon as she started to sing.
Boyle said at the time she had never been kissed.
The contrast between her timid, occasionally nervous manner and her matchless soaring voice won Boyle millions of fans throughout the world, and she has followed her TV breakthrough with a string of successful record releases. She has received an honorary doctorate, performed for Pope Benedict XVI and wowed audiences in Las Vegas.
But the pressures of performing have sometimes overwhelmed her, and she was treated for nervous exhaustion after her “Britain’s Got Talent’’ run.
Boyle told The Sun newspaper that the doctor she met in the United States was a “perfect gentleman’’ and that they enjoyed each other’s company. AP
