Lulu, the iconic 77-year-old singer known for her glamorous past as a sex symbol of the Sixties, has stunned fans with a deeply personal revelation about her life. Despite having no shortage of admirers over the years, Lulu now admits she has chosen to stay single, explaining that while she often feels “lonely,” it’s still a better option than risking more heartache.
A Life of Heartache: Lulu’s Past Relationships
“I was heartbroken,” Lulu recalled. “I had no idea.”
Then, in 1969, Lulu met Bee Gees star Maurice Gibb. Their whirlwind romance led to marriage, but, sadly, their relationship ended in 1973. This week, Lulu revealed a painful secret: Maurice had secretly fathered a child with another woman.
The Secret About Maurice Gibb and the Child He Fathered
Lulu shared that she only recently discovered that Maurice Gibb, who passed away in 2003, might have fathered a son during their marriage. She was told this by someone who showed her irrefutable proof, though she never looked into the exact birth details because, as she said, “it wasn’t that important.”
The revelation has only added to Lulu’s heartache. She confessed that her marriage to Maurice left her feeling like a “failure,” but it had been love at first sight for the musical couple. They met backstage at Top of the Pops when Lulu was 20 and Maurice was 19, and they married soon after. However, the relationship became strained due to Maurice’s alcoholism and Lulu’s own struggles with alcohol in her sixties.

Reflecting on their turbulent marriage, Lulu admitted: “We thought we were king and queen of the world. But the drinking… we shouldn’t have gotten married. We should have just had a romance.”
Lulu’s Journey Through Heartbreak and Self-Discovery
After her marriage to Maurice ended, Lulu experienced further emotional turmoil in her relationships. She married celebrity hairdresser John Freida in 1976, and they had a son, Jordan. However, their marriage ended in 1990, and John’s decision to divorce her left Lulu devastated.
“I think John left me when I lost the baby. I was in denial,” she confessed. “I didn’t see us drifting apart.”
Though heartbroken by her divorce, Lulu refused to badmouth her ex-husbands. “I love Maurice, I love John. You can’t deny what you once had,” she said.
The Final Decision: Staying Single
Despite facing so much heartbreak in her life, Lulu now finds comfort in staying single. While she has admitted that sometimes she feels lonely, she no longer sees marriage as the answer to her problems. “Marriage isn’t the answer,” she said. “I do admit that sometimes I feel, ‘Oh, if I had somebody to do this with, it would be easier.’ But it’s not the solution.”
Lulu also shared her thoughts on relationships, saying: “Been there, done it, and now it is not a priority. Maybe as a kid it was, but not now. It’s about the bigger sense of love.”
She continues to enjoy her independence and has learned to love herself, even as she deals with the loneliness that comes with aging.
The Shocking Revelation About Maurice Gibb
One of the most surprising elements of Lulu’s story is her revelation about Maurice Gibb. Although she had been married to him for four years, she didn’t know about his secret child until recently. She admitted that it’s painful, but she’s chosen not to focus on when the child was born, adding that the details “weren’t that important” to her now.
Lulu also expressed that she had always taken herself too seriously in the past, but has learned to appreciate the gray areas of life.
New Relationships and the Lessons Lulu Has Learned
While Lulu has not remarried, she has been linked to younger men, including Take That’s Jason Orange, whom she collaborated with on the 1993 single Relight My Fire at the age of 45. Although they shared a “special relationship,” Lulu insists that nothing romantic ever happened.
In her later years, she was also linked to actor Stuart Manning, but she clarified that their relationship was nothing serious. Despite her past relationships, Lulu remains strong and focused on her own well-being.
A Life of Reflection and Growth
Reflecting on her past, Lulu admitted that she used to feel she needed a traditional family and marriage. However, she now realizes that it’s not the answer to everything. “I was programmed to think that the answer to life was a white picket fence and three children. But it’s unrealistic.”
In the end, Lulu’s life is one of love, self-discovery, and resilience. Despite the heartbreak and challenges she has faced, she remains a symbol of strength for many.
