Sinitta’s son was keen for her to find a partner when she was single, so much so that he was ‘worried’ about her sex life – more than she was.
The So Macho singer was single for ‘a long time’ after her marriage to Andy Wilner ended in 2010, having been married for eight years.
While she was comfortable with the situation, her boy Zac, 18, urged her to find someone.
‘I didn’t date for a long time. I was single for eight-and-a-half nine years,’ Sinitta began.
She added to New! Magazine: ‘I think they know I’m fussy and it took me a long time to find someone, so they trust that.
‘Before I was with him, my son said to me, “I don’t think you should be alone all the time, all your friends are gay.”

‘So he was more worried about my sex life than I was – but now I’m ok.’
Sinitta – who also has a daughter named Magdalena, 18,is very happy with her mystery man.
She teased: ‘I am dating someone and he’s a really nice man.
‘It’s nice, I’m happy. He’s obsessed with football, but that’s fine. I’d rather that than other things. It’s good.’
The 60-year-old singer admitted seeing her children, who are both adopted, becoming adults has become a source of conflict in their home because they want to push boundaries more.
She they are ‘obsessed with going out because now that they’re 18 they can and they’re loving it.’
‘We’re already fighting and they’ve only been 18 for a minute – it’s arguments every day.’
Sinitta tries to explain to them that they are ‘still under [her] roof’ and ‘not completely grown yet.’

‘I’m doing the whole, “It’s my house, it’s my rules” thing, but it’s hard.’
Sinitta’s love life has been highly publicised throughout her career.
She famously dated Simon Cowell on-and-off in the 80s and the pair have remained close pals.
So close, in fact, that they still spend Christmas together, despite Simon being in a long-term relationship with socialite and entrepreneur Lauren Silverman, with whom he shares a son.
In an interview with Closer magazine, Sinitta shared that her favourite Christmases have been in Barbados with the music mogul.
‘There’s nothing like Christmas Day in the Caribbean. Santa arrives at the beach on a jet ski, and we all get dressed up for an amazing dinner.
‘Then, on New Year’s Eve, we head out on the yacht and watch the fireworks over the Sandy Lane hotel. That’s definitely the best way to welcome in the New Year!’

Sinitta added that Simon, 63, adores ‘spoiling everyone’ for the festive season and that she’s very close with his fiancée Lauren – to whom he popped the question last Christmas – and eight-year-old Eric.
Another of Sinitta’s famous exes is none other than Brad Pitt, a celebrity relationship that shocks the internet whenever it resurfaces.
The pop star dated the Hollywood actor, 58, on and off in the early 1980s, describing him as ‘very kind’ to her.
Detailing the crazy whirlwind that was their romance amid his A-list fame, she previously said: ‘Brad was drop-dead gorgeous, but he wasn’t full of himself. He was very, very kind.
‘I’ve always dated the person who everybody else wants to be with, so I had to grow a thick skin. I’ve had girls put cigarettes out on my back in order to get closer to my man, not realising that I was the girlfriend.’
