A Single Mother, But Never Married; Why?

Donna had no hurry in getting married nor is she planning to get married. In 1983s she said on PEOPLE,

 “I don’t see any more security in being married than in not being married.”

Though saying this, she had been in a long relationship for the past 5 years with Richard Holland at the time. She was 37 at that time.

Richard had no problems getting married and being a husband even with a gap of 6 years apart between them, but Donna was in no hurry to get married, and as strict to her saying, they have not married since then!

Chloe is a working model, has a boyfriend named Jake Nevins. Now 24, she recently celebrated her 24th birthday on 15 September. Donna also shared a lovely Instagram post to wish her daughter on the auspicious occasion. Donna wrote on her Instagram,

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my darling girl! The day of your birth is the happiest day of my life. You are my everything!!!?"

Back in 2012, Donna was 71 and underwent plastic surgery. Making a living on television, the only way to extend her youth, was to go for it. Though most celebrities go through substantial surgeries and have a gruesome after effect, hers was just a light lift. The surgery went well making her look youthful for a couple more years.
