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.

She was diagnosed with a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome. Now she has a clearer understanding of her social awkwardness.
Additional News: Meryl Streep may play her in a film about her life.... She has been approached and says she's considering it.
Like Jim Nabors.
That was a shock.
I remember watching the video of her on the “Britain’s Got Talent” show in 2009. I haven’t kept up with her, but she really was great.
What a great story! I didn’t find The Love Of My Life until I was 50, so it IS possible. :)
I would LOVE to see Meryl Streep tell this tale!
She has a fabulous voice. I am very happy for her.
Recently rented a DVD from Netflix titled “The Christmas Candle.” Susan Boyle has a small role in it, and of course she sings. For anyone looking for a beautiful story of Christmas, love, faith, and hope, I highly recommend it. It is one of the finest movies I have seen in a very long time.
She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.
Thanks! Booking ‘The Christmas Candle’ from the Library, right now! :)
I enjoyed following her career from afar. I hope she has aas happy a life as she can.
I wish her and her newfound love both very well. She has a magnificent talent, and thank goodness for all of us that she can now use that talent for the world to see.
Imagine the singing she’ll do when she experiences for the first time....
Good for her, delightful voice in a quirky but likeable person.
I love that video every time I see it. Brings tears to the eyes.
Good for her!
ie: The Christmas Candle”. It didn’t get the popularity it deserved last Christmas, perhaps because it was released too early for Christmas. It’s a wonderful movie, and destined to be a classic.
HOORAY Susan Boyle!
