Music legend Lulu has made a startlingly candid admission about her personal life, revealing she was left terrified of sex and intimacy following her divorce.
The Scottish singing sensation, famed for her powerhouse vocals and 1964 hit 'Shout', opened up about the profound emotional impact her split from ex-husband John Frieda had on her confidence between the sheets.
A Fear Forged in Heartbreak
In a remarkably honest interview, Lulu confessed that the breakdown of her marriage didn't just cause emotional pain—it fundamentally shattered her sense of self in the bedroom. The star admitted to being "afraid of sex" in the aftermath, a fear that stemmed from a loss of confidence and the vulnerability that comes with new relationships.
"You lose your confidence, you really do," she revealed, highlighting the often-overlooked psychological toll a divorce can take on one's intimate life.
The Journey Back to Confidence
Lulu's story, however, is one of hope and rediscovery. She didn't let this fear define her. The icon spoke about the process of rebuilding her self-assurance, a journey that was as much about self-love as it was about finding a new partner.
She credits part of her healing to finding a "wonderful man" with whom she felt safe, comfortable, and able to rediscover the joy of physical connection. Her experience serves as an empowering message that it is possible to find happiness and a fulfilling love life after heartbreak.
More Than Just a Celebrity Confession
By speaking out, Lulu lifts the lid on a taboo subject that affects countless individuals after a relationship ends. Her bravery in discussing such a private struggle helps to normalise these feelings and encourages open conversation about the complex intersection of love, sex, and self-esteem.
The star's revelation is a powerful reminder that behind the glamour of celebrity, stars face the same very human fears and challenges as everyone else.
