In an explosive and heartbreaking revelation, Lulu, the 77-year-old Scottish singer, has claimed that her late ex-husband, Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees, secretly fathered a son with another woman, potentially during their six-year marriage. Lulu revealed she only just found out about the child, and she has irrefutable proof that the son is Maurice’s. The shocking admission came during her appearance on the latest installment of The Louis Theroux Podcast, where she opened up about her past relationship with the late music icon and their tumultuous marriage.
“I think he’s got a son,” Lulu revealed, visibly shaken. “It might have happened when we were married. I just found out. Someone showed me something, and I can’t remember the year he impregnated this girl after a one-night stand, and he has a son who has had his genes taken. It’s proven. He’s 100% Maurice’s.” 😱
The revelation comes nearly two decades after Maurice Gibb passed away in 2003 following a cardiac arrest. The Bee Gees legend, who is remembered for his incredible contributions to music, had two known children with his second wife, Yvonne Spenceley—daughter Samantha and son Adam. But this newly discovered son adds a new twist to the Gibb family’s legacy.
Lulu also made it clear that while this bombshell discovery is significant, she never focused on the exact timing of the child’s birth. “I haven’t confirmed when he was born because it wasn’t that important,” Lulu explained. Despite the gravity of the situation, Lulu’s reflective and calm demeanor showed how she has come to terms with the complexities of her past.
Maurice and Lulu married in 1969 and divorced in 1975, with no children together. Lulu’s marriage to the iconic Bee Gee was a turbulent one, but it was their shared passion for music that first brought them together. After the end of their marriage, Lulu went on to have high-profile relationships, including one with the legendary David Bowie. She shared that, after her divorce, she had a brief fling with Bowie, which caused tension with John Frieda, the celebrity hair stylist she later dated.
She explained, “It was an issue,” regarding the affair with Bowie, but later reflected on how she and Maurice reconciled, particularly in the emotional 2002 reunion on stage. “I sort of knew in my heart that he would probably jump and he did,” she admitted. “But Maurice was a very sweet guy. You know, I didn’t want to use him, but I was using him. Now I’m glad because it touched people’s hearts.”
Lulu shared how she invited Maurice to perform with her during the star-studded TV special, An Audience With… Lulu, giving him the respect he had always sought as a solo artist, separate from his brothers in the Bee Gees. “He was very pleased because he always felt the lesser of the three. And him being on the show by himself with me, gave him respect,” she added. “Now I’m so glad I got to do that.” 🎤
Reflecting on her relationship with Maurice, Lulu confessed that some things were left unsaid when their marriage ended. “Sometimes in ending a relationship, you don’t say all that you wanted to say or you don’t explain yourself, or there’s confusion or there’s misunderstandings. It seemed to close the circle,” she said, finding peace in their reconciliation before his death.
While this revelation about Maurice’s secret son may surprise fans and the public, it adds another chapter to the story of Lulu and Maurice Gibb, who shared a complicated but impactful relationship. Lulu’s openness and vulnerability in sharing this part of her past bring a new understanding to the Bee Gees legend and the family dynamics that have long remained hidden.
