I gave her my baby to hold, and she just held Katie in her arms and looked at me and said, \u2018How do you do it all?

And I\u2019m so glad. This is the greatest moment of my life, and I\u2019m just in love with this little creature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not long after, the \u201cTwo Of A Kind\u201d star and her ex-husband Matt Lattanzi would welcome a daughter named Chloe in 1986. Olivia later married John Easterling in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe trusted one another implicitly, and we were very similar kind of people,\u201d Jane explained. \u201cWe both liked to work hard, but we also knew family was everything. We had a lot in common.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At one point, Seymour said she knew her friend\u2019s days were coming to an end, but she was amazed at how the \u201cXanadu\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-olivia-newton-john-grease-star-and-grammy-winner-dead-at-73\">star<\/a> never stopped living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realized that she was a unique friend.

She pulled it all back together again and had a quality of life again. It was amazing.
