Lulu Claims Late Ex-Husband Maurice Gibb May Have Fathered a Child During Their Marriage
In a shocking revelation, Scottish singer Lulu has claimed that her late ex-husband Maurice Gibb, of the Bee Gees, may have fathered a child with another woman during their six-year marriage.
Appearing on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Lulu, 77, opened up about her marriage to the legendary musician, her subsequent relationships with pop icon David Bowie and stylist John Frieda, and her life after her divorce from Gibb.
Lulu, whose marriage to Gibb ended in 1975 without the couple having any children together, told Theroux she had “just found out” that Maurice had fathered a son through a brief affair during their marriage.
“I think he’s got a son,” she said. “It might have happened when we were married. I just found out. Someone showed me something, and I can’t remember the year, but it’s proven that he has a son who shares his genes. It’s a hundred percent Maurice’s.”
Maurice Gibb, who passed away in 2003, had two known children—daughter Samantha and son Adam—with his second wife, Yvonne Spenceley.
The revelation follows the 2019 claims of Nick Endacott-Gibb, who alleged that he is the biological son of Maurice and Patti Nolder, a studio manager who worked closely with the Bee Gees. Nick’s DNA test reportedly showed a “100 percent match” with Maurice’s son Adam. However, some family members have disputed Nick’s claims.
Lulu reflected on the emotional journey of her marriage, divorce, and the challenges she faced afterward. “I used to take myself way too seriously,” she admitted. “I think that’s why I’ve learned through trial and tribulation. Life’s about the highs and lows, and I’ve had both.”
Lulu also recalled a brief affair with David Bowie while in a relationship with John Frieda, admitting that it caused tension in her romance with the stylist. Despite their ups and downs, Lulu said she was glad to have had the opportunity to honor Maurice during a special TV performance just before his death in 2003.
“Sometimes when relationships end, you don’t get to say everything you wanted to,” she said, reflecting on their time together. “Performing with Maurice by himself gave him respect, and I’m glad I got to do that.”
