According to a recent news report by The Daily Mail, the ex-wife of British singer Maurice Gibb has claimed that the late singer fathered a child secretly with another woman during the course of their six-year long marriage.

During an episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, Scottish singer Lulu gave this astonishing statement while discussing her marriage to the Bee Gees singer. She also spoke about her romance with David Bowie, a pop legend, and hairstylist John Frieda.

Maurice Gibb was the father of two children named Samantha and Adam Gees. While Gibb didn't share any children with his first wife, Lulu, he shared Samantha and Adam with his second wife, Yvonne Spenceley Gibb.


Maurice Gibb's wife alleges that he secretly had a son

Maurice Gibb's first Lulu revealed during a podcast that Maurice shares a son secretly with another woman during the course of their six-year-long marriage.

"I believe he has a son," said Lulu during the podcast.
"It could have occurred during our marriage. I recently learned about it.I can't recall the year he impregnated this girl after a one-night fling, and he has a baby whose genes have been removed, according to what someone showed me. It has been demonstrated. He is entirely Maurice's."

However, after a DNA test revealed a "100 percent match" with Maurice's son Adam in 2019, Nick Endacott-Gibb, who was placed for adoption as a baby, claimed to be the legitimate son of British musician and band studio manager Patti Nolder.

Nick, a musician as well, claimed that several family members continued to doubt his assertions. He stated at the time,

"For some reason, some family members still want to publicly question the validity of my DNA result from two years ago instead of listening to the music I'm creating, which surely speaks for itself."

Raised by a middle-class family in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, Nick thought his father was Chris Andrews, the frontman of the rock group Fleur de Lys from the 1960s, but a 2009 DNA test revealed the opposite.

However, he completed three different facial recognition tests after learning from Patti's sister that Gibb was his biological father, and the results indicated a strong likelihood that the two were linked. A match percentage of 95.2 was returned.

Despite years of pleading, Gibb's widow, Yvonne, turned down his request for a DNA test.

But after sending a saliva test to an online genealogy company, he was startled to learn that Gibb's son Adam, had submitted his own DNA to the website Ancestry.co.uk years earlier. The match provided Nick all the information he required.

Regarding the possibility that Gibb fathered a son during their marriage, Lulu told Theroux that she hadn't investigated the child's birthdate "because it wasn't that important."
