Susan Boyle stunned audiences when she sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables" on "Britain's Got Talent" in 2009. She has since hit the road with her incredible voice and it has led her to meeting her first boyfriend.
The 53-year-old Scottish woman revealed to The Sun that she has started seeing an American doctor. She classified the man as "a perfect gentleman" and "around the same age" as her.
"It's very early days so we'll see what happens. I hope he comes over [to Scotland to visit]," she said. "I don't want to say any more about who his 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."
Boyle previously admitted while on "Britain's Got Talent" that she had "never been married, never been kissed." Her gentleman friend attended one of her sold-out U.S. concerts and chatted up Boyle. They then went out for dinner and decided to pursue a relationship.
The best-selling recording artist also opened up about her Asperger's syndrome. She was diagnosed a year ago.
"It's a very difficult subject to talk about because you always feel that eyes are on you, and people view you as different," Boyle said. "I like to see myself as someone with a problem, but one I can solve. It is definitely getting better."
She added, "Since the diagnosis, I've learned strategies for coping and the best one is to just walk away. If I feel I'm going to take a mood swing, I get up and leave."
Boyle recently wrapped up her first concert tour, promoting her fourth studio album "Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs from the Stage." Her sixth studio album "Hope" was released on Oct. 21 and debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200.
