Lulu has reignited debate about the bee gees after telling listeners she believes Maurice Gibb fathered an unknown son; she made the claim on the Louis Theroux Podcast. The singer, 77, said she was shown evidence she described as proof and called the child “100 per cent Maurice’s. ” Nick Endacott-Gibb, who has publicly identified himself as Maurice Gibb’s son, rejects Lulu’s timing and offers his own DNA-linked account as counter-evidence.
What Lulu said
Lulu spoke on the Louis Theroux Podcast and named Maurice Gibb when she said she now thinks he “has a son” and that she had “just found out. ” She told listeners: “I think he’s got a son. It might have happened when we were married. I just found out. ” Lulu added that “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 per cent Maurice’s. ” Lulu is identifying her remarks as part of a wider conversation about her past and mental health as she promotes a special concert and discusses personal issues on several platforms.
Bee Gees connection and family responses
Nick Endacott-Gibb has publicly declared he is Maurice Gibb’s son and has provided a different timeline to Lulu’s suggestion. Nick says he was born in April 1968 and was conceived in August 1967, which he uses to argue his conception pre-dates Lulu’s marriage to Maurice. Nick, described in public material as a musician and a member of the project Cousins Gibb, says his family search led to his birth mother, Patti Nolder, and later to genetic matches that linked him to Maurice’s line. He says he uploaded DNA to an ancestry website in 2019 and matched with Adam Gibb, identifying that DNA as proof of a half-brother relationship. Family members named in connection to the match include Lesley Evans (nee Gibb), who contacted him, and Debbie, who later formed a musical partnership with him.
Immediate reactions and named voices
“I think he’s got a son… It’s proven. He’s 100 per cent Maurice’s, ” Lulu said on the Louis Theroux Podcast, attributed as Lulu, singer and guest on the Louis Theroux Podcast. Nick Endacott-Gibb, musician and member of Cousins Gibb, has spoken of his reunion efforts: “I was born in April 1968, conceived in August 1967… ” He has also described feeling closure after matching with relatives and spending time with extended family. Lesley Evans (nee Gibb), identified in public accounts as a sister of the Gibb brothers, connected Nick with other family members and supported musical collaboration with Debbie.
Quick context
Maurice Gibb died in 2003. Public timelines in these accounts reference prior public claims and tests: a 2017 public assertion, and a DNA upload that produced a match in 2019. Lulu also discussed the matter on television on Wednesday, March 18 (ET), while promoting charity and mental health work.
What’s next
The dispute is likely to continue as parties point to differing timelines and DNA evidence; Nick is slated to continue musical projects with family members and to release new recordings. Expect further statements from the people named here and potential clarifications about testing and timelines as family members and claimants respond. The story will hinge on any additional, named confirmations or documented proof presented by those involved, and on whether more family members or formal DNA verifications are publicly shared in coming weeks. The bee gees connection at the centre of the disagreement remains the focal point for both claim and rebuttal.
