Susan Boyle entered this world on April 1, 1961. Her Irish ancestry originates in County Donegal, with her father Patrick Boyle working as a miner and her mother Bridget working as a shorthand typist.
The youngest of four brothers and six sisters, Boyle grew up in a large family. In West Lothian, Scotland, the family occupied a council house. Susan is still a resident of that residence. Instead of buying a Beverly Hills mansion or moving to a tropical island, she bought the four-bedroom house she grew up in in Blackburn, Scotland, and renovated it into her ideal home.

Susan has never been coy about her desire to discover true love and settle down with one person. Since Susan has no plans to leave, that individual will naturally take up residence there.
