Lulu, the renowned singer behind the hit “Shout,” has recently revealed surprising details about her former spouse, the late Maurice Gibb of Bee Gees fame. In a candid discussion on Louis Theroux’s podcast, the 77-year-old Scottish artist disclosed that she discovered evidence suggesting Maurice fathered a child with another woman while they were still married. Lulu, who was married to Maurice for four years until their official separation in 1973, expressed her shock at the revelation and asserted the paternity of the child as belonging to Maurice.
The singer mentioned that she had recently learned about the existence of this son, emphasizing that the proof was undeniable. While Maurice was known to have two children, Samantha and Adam, with his second wife, Yvonne Spenceley, the alleged son from the extramarital affair remains unnamed.
Despite acknowledging the situation, Lulu admitted that she did not investigate further into the timeline of the child’s birth as it was not a significant concern for her. Following her split from Maurice, Lulu entered into a relationship with celebrity stylist John Frieda, with whom she shares a son named Jordan Frieda. However, their romance faced challenges after Lulu’s involvement with music icon David Bowie, which created tension in her relationship with Frieda.
Reflecting on her past relationships, Lulu reflected on inviting Maurice to perform on her ITV special before his passing, highlighting the sentimental value it held for her. She expressed mixed emotions about the experience, recognizing the complexity of their history but finding closure through the event.
In her conversation with Louis Theroux, Lulu shared insights gained from her life experiences, emphasizing the importance of not taking oneself too seriously and embracing the nuances of life’s journey. Despite facing highs and lows like everyone else, she noted the value of learning from challenges and maintaining a positive outlook.
