'I was in denial of my marriage going wrong,' she told The Telegraph in 2002. 'I didn't see us drifting apart, I always thought there would be signs. Perhaps there were. I just didn't see them.'She added: 'That was a very painful time in my life. It was excruciating. I thought I was dying. I thought I would die without my last husband. Quite clearly, I survived.'Yet she refused to badmouth her husbands, stating: 'I love Maurice, I love John. You can't love somebody and then deny what you once had. It was real at the time. And with every relationship you learn, you grow.' While she was heartbroken by the divorce from Frieda, her family were the opposite.'They hated the way I'd carried a torch for John,' she recalled. 'They'd also seen how it had triggered years of introspection, therapy and counselling.'Long after their divorce, Frieda and Lulu reunited and managed to overcome their differences and have a friendship. 'It's not easy being with one person. I've had two marriages to two amazing guys,' Lulu recalled.'Now, down the line, I see they had their time and I had skewed vision on how they should be. Also, on how to do it. I thought they would just be. Maybe I'm just not the marrying kind. Now I'm not interested.'
