Lulu, 75, has candidly opened up on her newfound approach to dating and romance as she nears her 76th birthday.
The Bang-a-Bang hitmaker has embarked on two very high-profile marriages in her lifetime, the first being with Bee Gees legend Maurice Gibb.
The pair tied the knot shortly after first meeting on Top of the Pops back in 1969 but their divorce was finalised just four years later.
She remarried in 1977 with iconic hairstylist John Frieda but the pair's fairytale came to an end in 1991.
Lulu hasn't been down the aisle in the three decades since but landing a romantic partner isn't something the singer spends much time mulling over.
"My life is full of love, but it’s not one on one," Lulu admitted in a new interview earlier this week.

Clarifying her happiness at being single, she continued: "Been there, done it, and now it is not a priority.
"Maybe as a kid it was, but not now. It’s about the bigger sense of love."
Instead, Lulu dedicates her spare time into self-care, making sure her happiness is top of her list of priorities.
"I’m very happy and I meditate every morning," she added in this week's Woman's Weekly.

She added: "Meditation is what reboots and revives me, and gives me a very clear picture of what to do when there are problems – and goodness knows, we all have problems."
Lulu's latest remarks about her love life echo those that she told talk show host Jonathan Ross when she appeared on his ITV show earlier this year.
She told the presenter in April when discussing her memoir: "I have learnt so much, I’ve been up and down. I’m older and I think I wasn’t ready to be as vulnerable and to be as authentic and honest, not that I was a phoney."
"I was a young girl and I just want to be loved – that’s my story. That’s why I do what I do. I can say that now and I couldn’t have said that when I was younger. I want to be connected to people.
"When I was young, I wanted a white picket fence and I wanted the dream.
"To be honest with you, now after having two marriages and I picked two good guys, I needed to get to know myself a bit more," she explained.

The singer, who's embarking on the final dates of her last-ever tour later this year, has been in the spotlight ever since she burst onto stage in the 1960s.
But it's come at a cost as she recently shared with fans a rather worrying health diagnosis.
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain in July, she revealed she'd had her hearing tested following decades of performing to crowds across the globe.
"And yes, moderate hearing loss but you know me, I don’t want to not hear people!" she said. "I want to hear what they're saying in the next room, I want to hear everything and my music."
Despite branding the hearing loss as a "challenge", Lulu has assured fans that while her latest tour may be her last, she has no plans to quit singing altogether.
