LONDON (AP) — The magnificent and shy singer Susan Boyle has her first boyfriend at age 53 — a Connecticut doctor she met on her recent U.S. tour who may soon visit her in Scotland.
“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 focused national attention on her.
Boyle told The Sun newspaper that the doctor she met in the U.S. was a “perfect gentleman” and that they enjoyed each other’s company. She said the relationship was in “early days,” but she hopes he will visit her in Scotland.
The singer was diagnosed last year with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, and had learning disabilities as a child.
Susan Boyle is by the far the biggest name to emerge from Simon Cowell’s hit TV show Britain’s Got Talent.
The West Lothian singer wowed Simon and his fellow judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden on the third series of the show when she appeared back in 2019, reports RSPV LIVE.
The judges and studio audience, as well as the viewers at home, were left gobsmacked following her haunting performance of I Dreamed a Dream from the hit musical Les Misérables.
However, the Scotland native finished second that year, losing in the final to dance troupe Diversity.
Here, we take a look at what Susan, now aged 61, has been up to since her time on the show after she loved up about her relationships and weight loss.
The judges and studio audience, as well as the viewers at home, were left gobsmacked following Susan Boyle’s haunting performance.
Susan met an American doctor while she was on tour and they hit it off and started a romantic relationship.
However, she kept his name out of the media and they were never photographed together.
She told The Mirror: “I don’t want to reveal the doctor’s name. It’s nothing serious at the moment. I will send him a picture of my weight loss – if he’s a good boy! I do enjoy male companionship.
“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.”
She also said in another interview: “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.”
Speaking about her love affair afterwards, she said: “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.”
In the past, Susan had plans to become a foster mum because was not able to adopt, given her age.
“I’ve a lovely house, why not share it?
“I love children,” she told Lady Magazine.
“I’ve never had any of my own, that’s my biggest regret.”
In a February 2020, Susan confessed that her last date was six years ago.
She said: “I had a date in America six years ago, which lasted exactly 45 minutes.”
Weight loss after Britain’s Got Talent
Susan revealed her weight loss after a whopping two stone back in 2016.
She also shared that she had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes four years previously.
The singer said: “I needed to stop eating sweeties and cakes. It’s the bane of my life.
“I had to lose the weight for my health.”
