It was all over the Internet after a message was posted on Van Morrison’s website that he became a daddy once again, but the singer is speaking out saying that his site was hacked and he is not the father of the baby.

The 64 year old singer is speaking out saying that he was a victim of a hacker when a message was posted on his website claiming that he and Gigi Lee welcomed a son together this week. The report has since been removed from the singer’s website but apparently the damage has been done as it was all over the news, including being reported here at Baby Chums.

The report on the website claimed that Gigi Leegave birth to George Ivan Morrison III and that he was the “spitting image of his daddy.” Van says that the report is “completely” untrue as he is still happily married to Michelle Morrison, who is the mother of two of his children.

Morrison set the record straight saying, “‘Claims were made relating to my personal life in a ’statement’ purporting to come from me. The comments which appeared on my website did not come from me. They are completely and utterly without foundation. For the avoidance of all doubt and in the interests of clarity, I am very happily married to Michelle Morrison with whom I have two wonderful children.”

The Brown Eyed Girl singer added, “I have asked my management team to carry out an immediate investigation.”

According to John Saunders, a friend of Van’s, “I spoke to Van a short while ago and I said do you even know this person (Gigi Lee)? He’s never heard the name at any stage in the past, he doesn’t know who this person is.”

John also said that the reason why it took the singer so long to issue a statement is that he is a very private person. He said, “I think he’s within his right to feel that he shouldn’t have to come out and comment on something that is completely false, but given the seriousness of this he has made this statement and he’s emphatic that this story is completely and utterly without foundation.”
