A Love Life Full of Highs and Lows
Known to everyone for hits like Shout and To Sir With Love, the legendary Scottish singer Lulu lived an interesting love life both on and off stage. There have been two marriages she parted from in divorce and a high-profile relationship with a rock star, so Lulu’s private life has fascinated fans as much as her music. Like her long-lasting career, the story of her love is mixed with passion, heartbreak, and resilience.
Two Marriages, Two Endings
Lulu married Bee Gees singer Maurice Gibb in 1969. Their romance was touted as being star-studded. However, the marriage of these two was complicated with schedules and lifestyle differences. Lulu later revealed that their relationship was brutal, particularly with booze and the demands of their careers. They divorced in 1973, but Lulu remained “friends” with Maurice for her lifetime.
She later married the world’s most celebrated hairstylist and entrepreneur, John Frieda for the second time much later in her life. This gave birth to a son named Jordan Frieda. They eventually divorced in 1992. Lulu and John were, however friendly to each other; many times placing the boy above their squabbles.
A Rockstar Romance with David Bowie
Perhaps the most interesting chapter of Lulu’s love life was that with the rock legend, David Bowie. Their passion was reported to be intense yet somehow enigmatic, and it was through him that Lulu was said to have found influence on her personal as well as professional life. Through him, Lulu was again rejuvenated in her music career as she sang his song The Man Who Sold the World.
Although their romance was short, it has remained one of the most talked-about aspects of Lulu’s love life, sparking endless intrigue among fans and media alike.
The Impact on Lulu’s Career and Legacy
Lulu’s love life and career have always dovetailed. Both of her marriages coincided with critical stages of her career that influenced the balance between her public image and her happiness. The romantic relationship she has maintained with famous persons also further entrenches her as a pop culture icon with a life full of twists and turns.
In all the ups and downs, Lulu has been proven to stay relevant in the entertainment world with her gift of staying relevant. “I’ve learned from every relationship,” says Lulu once, emphasizing the importance of growing as a person through love and loss.
A Life Lived Boldly
Lulu’s romantic life with two famous marriages and her relationship with the rockstar, well it is only but natural for anyone with a similar record to suffer from both ends of the spectrum that one would feel when in a troubled relationship as many people do-but under a constant microscope, of course. It only goes to remind that personal problems don’t define destiny.
From Maurice Gibb to John Frieda and David Bowie, Lulu’s love life shines as bright as her music career, making her one of the most interesting personalities to have ever graced the entertainment industry. Her story of love, loss, and reinvention inspires so many fans around the world.
