Singer Anastacia has reportedly fallen in love with her bodyguard. The sexy star is said to be smitten with hunky Wayne Newton, who is said to have ditched the mother of his two children to be with the pop babe, and the pair are "very much in love". A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's just like the movie 'The Bodyguard' - where Whitney Houston falls in love with her minder.

"The chemistry between them was obvious. Anastacia has lavished gifts on him - including a Cartier watch."

The bodyguard apparently broke the news to his fiancée Lorraine Elston following the star's European tour.

He said: "The problem with Anastacia and me was that we went from a professional relationship to being friends. But I can't talk to you about my private life."

A spokesman for the 32-year-old singer said: "Anastacia makes a point of never discussing her private life or relationships."
