The couple has even started the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, which helps research "plant-based medicine and other holistic and wellness therapies" in order to "discover kinder ways to prevent, treat and cure all cancers."

Newton-John also discussed how the coronavirus pandemic has brought the mother-daughter pair closer together as they've been quarantining with each other.
"I worked my whole life, and the longest period I can remember being home was my pregnancy with Chloe and the first year or two of her life," Newton-John recalled. "So it's been wonderful reconnecting with my baby. She is my reason to be."
