Susan Boyle has decided to keep her life away from the stage relatively private but has previously opened up about her first romance after meeting a mystery man on tour
Susan Boyle is arguably one of the biggest Britain’s Got Talent stars after she blew the judges away with her voice. Initially, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan doubted the Scottish star after she first appeared on stage and had attempted to write her off – until she started singing I Dreamed A Dream, revealing she wanted to be as famous as Elaine Paige.
Since finding fame in 2009, the singer has kept a relatively low profile and has only shared an insight into her life on a handful occasions and even shared a look into her romance which she said wasn’t too serious. Prior to her mystery relationship, Susan had been open about not being romantically linked to anybody.
While on tour after appearing on the ITV talent show which airs this weekend, Susan found her first romantic partner. Although she remained coy about the details about their romance, Susan previously hinted that it was purely casual and they were not too serious about one another.
Although she has never shared his name, she he has shared some information about her mystery man. The man in question was an American doctor. Speaking in 2016, she told the Mirror: “I don’t want to reveal the doctor’s name. It’s nothing serious at the moment.” I
But Susan went on to admit that she’s no stranger to delighting her mystery man with snaps of herself. She teased: “I will send him a picture of my weight loss – if he’s a good boy! I do enjoy male companionship.” In another admission, she explained: “I don’t want to say any more about who he is right now as that would be unfair on him.
“All I’ll say is we are around the same age and he was a very nice guy.” But she later admitted that their romance had run its course, revealing: “I did have a gentleman friend, a doctor. We went for lunch but I didn’t tell anyone. But if I had a man friend it would be purely platonic – I’ve been on my own too long now to get married.”
While romance was off the cards for Susan, the Scottish singing sensation had also hoped to start a family and adopting a child – but feared that her beloved cat may get slightly jealous. She admitted: “I would love to adopt a child too but my cat might get jealous. I don’t want to see a cat and a baby fighting. It’s something I might do later.”
However, Susan later admitted she feared she was too old to adopt and instead considered fostering. “I’ve a lovely house, why not share it?” She went on to say to Lady Magazine: “I love children. I’ve never had any of my own, that’s my biggest regret.” Unlike most celebrities, Susan has remained at her childhood home in Blackburn, West Lothain, Scotland. She spent £111,000 on the semi-detached ex-council house next door to her childhood home in order to turn both properties into her dream house.
Although she could afford to bag herself a lavish mansion, Susan said she it found it too hard to part with the home she grew up in due to its sentimental value. She previously told OK! magazine : “It’s to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing, you need to take stock of things and maybe see where you come from and where your roots lie. It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn’t say.”
Now, its estimated that she’s worth over £22 million but isn’t the type of person to spend thousands in one go. The singer previously told Piers Morgan she lives off a humble £300-500 weekly allowance to keep her going. In an interview with the TalkTV host back in 2010, she said: “I’ve only just learnt how to go in a taxi. I don’t flash the cash.”
Asked by Piers if she would like to buy a Lamborghini car, she asked, innocently: “Is that a drink? No fancy cars, no.” Susan continued: “I’m always careful with money. I’m not saying I’m mean, but I’m always careful. I have an allowance, it’s about £300-500 a week because that’s plenty for me. It’s pocket money.”
Britain’s Got Talent: Live Semi-Final airs on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
