Britain's Got Talent's Susan Boyle's romance with doctor as she reveals sweet texts
Susan Boyle has decided to keep her life away from the stage relatively private but has previously opened up about her first romance after meeting a mystery man on tour
Susan Boyle is arguably one of the biggest Britain's Got Talent stars after she blew the judges away with her voice. Initially, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan doubted the Scottish star after she first appeared on stage and had attempted to write her off – until she started singing I Dreamed A Dream, revealing she wanted to be as famous as Elaine Paige.
Since finding fame in 2009, the singer has kept a relatively low profile and has only shared an insight into her life on a handful occasions and even shared a look into her romance which she said wasn't too serious. Prior to her mystery relationship, Susan had been open about not being romantically linked to anybody.
While on tour after appearing on the ITV talent show which airs this weekend, Susan found her first romantic partner. Although she remained coy about the details about their romance, Susan previously hinted that it was purely casual and they were not too serious about one another.
Although she has never shared his name, she he has shared some information about her mystery man. The man in question was an American doctor. Speaking in 2016, she told the Mirror: "I don't want to reveal the doctor's name. It's nothing serious at the moment." I
But Susan went on to admit that she's no stranger to delighting her mystery man with snaps of herself. She teased: "I will send him a picture of my weight loss – if he's a good boy! I do enjoy male companionship." In another admission, she explained: "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." But she later admitted that their romance had run its course, revealing: "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."
While romance was off the cards for Susan, the Scottish singing sensation had also hoped to start a family and adopting a child – but feared that her beloved cat may get slightly jealous. She admitted: "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."
However, Susan later admitted she feared she was too old to adopt and instead considered fostering. "I've a lovely house, why not share it?" She went on to say to Lady Magazine: "I love children. I've never had any of my own, that's my biggest regret." Unlike most celebrities, Susan has remained at her childhood home in Blackburn, West Lothain, Scotland. She spent £111,000 on the semi-detached ex-council house next door to her childhood home in order to turn both properties into her dream house.
Although she could afford to bag herself a lavish mansion, Susan said she it found it too hard to part with the home she grew up in due to its sentimental value. She previously told OK! magazine: "It's to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing, you need to take stock of things and maybe see where you come from and where your roots lie. It's best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn't say."
Now, its estimated that she's worth over £22 million but isn't the type of person to spend thousands in one go. The singer previously told Piers Morgan she lives off a humble £300-500 weekly allowance to keep her going. In an interview with the TalkTV host back in 2010, she said: "I've only just learnt how to go in a taxi. I don't flash the cash."
Asked by Piers if she would like to buy a Lamborghini car, she asked, innocently: "Is that a drink? No fancy cars, no." Susan continued: "I'm always careful with money. I'm not saying I'm mean, but I'm always careful. I have an allowance, it's about £300-500 a week because that's plenty for me. It's pocket money."
Britain's Got Talent: Live Semi-Final airs on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Brian Wilson: Beach Boys star who surfed the waves to success
Born in California in 1942, he showed early musical talent, teaching harmonies to his younger brothers Dennis and Carl and obsessively studying piano. In 1961, Wilson, his brothers, cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine recorded Surfin', a local hit that marked the birth of The Beach Boys. Signed to Capitol Records a year later, the band shaped 1960s American pop with hits such as Surfin' USA, I Get Around and California Girls. The 1966 album Pet Sounds, which included the track God Only Knows, remains a landmark in modern music, influencing generations of artists including Sir Paul McCartney, who called it his favourite record. Sir Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Smokey Robinson and Carole King were also fans, while The Who's drummer, Keith Moon, fantasised about joining the Beach Boys. The band ranks among the most popular groups of the rock era, with more than 30 singles in the Top 40 and worldwide sales of more than 100 million and they were voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Originally unfinished in the 1960s, he finally completed and released Smile in 2004 to critical acclaim. Wilson struggled with mental illness and drug addiction, but in later years he toured globally.

Rolling Stones members pay tribute following death of Beach Boys' Brian Wilson
Wilson was the eldest and last surviving of the three musical brothers who formed the American rock band in 1961, alongside their cousin Mike Love and school friend Al Jardine. Wood, 78, who has played guitar in the Rolling Stones and rock band Faces, said his world was 'in mourning' amid a week which has also seen the death of US musician Sly Stone. A post shared by Ronnie Wood (@ronniewood) On Wednesday, Wilson's family said in a statement to his website: 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving.' The statement finished 'Love & Mercy', a reference to one of Wilson's songs as well as a film about him starring John Cusack. Wood said in a social media post: 'Oh no Brian Wilson and Sly Stone in one week – my world is in mourning, so sad.' His message was punctuated with praying hands and heart emojis, and featured pictures of Wilson and American funk singer Stone, real name Sylvester Stewart, who died on Monday, also aged 82. A post shared by Keith Richards (@officialkeef) Richards posted an extract of his 2010 memoir, Life, about Wilson on Instagram with the caption 'Rest in Peace!'. In the excerpt, Richards, 81, recalls hearing The Beach Boys for the first time on the radio, and his reaction to their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The extract reads: 'When we first got to American and to LA, there was a lot of Beach Boys on the radio, which was pretty funny to us – it was before Pet Sounds – it was hot rod songs and surfing songs, pretty lousily played, familiar Chuck Berry licks going on… 'It was later on, listening to Pet Sounds, well, it's a little bit overproduced for me, but Brian Wilson had something.' We are heartbroken to announced that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy — Brian Wilson (@BrianWilsonLive) June 11, 2025 Cusack, 58, who played Wilson in a 2014 biopic, said in a post: 'The maestro has passed — the man was a open heart with two legs — with an ear that heard the angels. Quite literally. Love and Mercy for you and yours tonight. RIP Brian.' Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood added: 'Anyone with a musical bone in their body must be grateful for Brian Wilson's genius magical touch!! 'And greatly saddened of this major worldly loss!! My thoughts go out to his family and friends.' Sean Ono Lennon, the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, also paid tribute in a heartfelt post to X where he described Wilson as 'our American Mozart'. Wilson's band, known for their vocal harmonies, signed with Capitol Records in 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. Wilson was born on June 20 1942, and began to play the piano and teach his brothers to sing harmony as a young boy. The Beach Boys started as a neighbourhood act, rehearsing in Wilson's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California. In the group Wilson played bass while his brother Dennis was the drummer and Carl played lead guitar. Their debut single, Surfin', became a minor hit upon its release in 1961, but was nothing compared with the success that followed from their second studio album, Surfin' USA, released in 1963. The band were managed by the trio's father, Murry Wilson, but by mid-decade he had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge. They released their most recognised album, Pet Sounds, in May 1966 which included the popular songs Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows. Other studio albums including The Beach Boys Today! and Summer Days (Summer Nights!!), both released in 1965, also performed well in the charts. In the later half of the 1960s and into the 1970s they had success upon releasing greatest hits albums including 20 Golden Greats, which peaked at number one in the UK albums chart in 1976. Wilson married singer Marilyn Rovell in 1964 and the couple welcomed daughters Carnie and Wendy, whom he became estranged from following their divorce. He later reconciled with them and they sang together on the 1997 album The Wilsons, which was also the name of a music group formed by Carnie and Wendy following the break-up of pop vocal group Wilson Phillips. Wilson, who had dealt with mental health and drug problems, got his life back on track in the 1990s and married talent manager Melinda Ledbetter. When Ledbetter died last year, Wilson said their five children, Daria, Delanie, Dylan, Dash and Dakota, were 'in tears'. 'She (Ledbetter) was my saviour. She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career. She encouraged me to make the music that was closest to my heart. She was my anchor,' he said in a statement. Wilson was also embroiled in multiple lawsuits some of which followed from the release of his 1991 autobiography, Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story. The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2001. Their biggest hits included California Girls, Surfin' USA and Good Vibrations, the latter of which topped the UK's singles chart. In 2012, following the 50th anniversary of the Beach Boys being founded, Wilson took to the road with Love, Jardine and others for a tour. Wilson's brother Dennis died in 1983 while Carl died in 1998.
