According to Gary Glitter, his ex-wife Ann Murton was involved in an affair with his best friend even before they got divorced. Gary said he believes that Sarah is not his biological daughter. He said: “I really did not see Sarah at all much. I am ashamed. She didn’t, I think, want to see me because I was not her real father.”
Gary Glitter revealed that his son “Paul pointed out that she was not. I was living in Germany at the time. My son Paul said I was not the father. I think my wife Ann was having an affair with my best friend and I believe to this day he is her father. She is not my natural daughter.”
Gary Jr. Is The Second Son Of Gary Glitter
Gary Pantoja Sosa is Gary Glitter’s second son. Gary Jr. is the son of Gary Glitter and his girlfriend Yudenia Sosa Martínez. Gary Jr. was born in February 2001. As of 2023, he is 22 years of age. He is a tattoo artist and loves to ride a skateboard. He lives in Gran Canaria, Spain, where he works as a tattoo artist.
Gary Jr and his father Gary Glitter did not spend time together during his childhood. Since he was born in 2001 his father has been in and out of prison. Although they had never met, they were communicating. Unlike his older siblings Paul and Sarah who have disowned their father, Gary Jr wants to have a relationship with his father after his release from prison.
Gary Jr said: “I have never met my father in person, because that has never been possible, but we speak on the phone all the time. Whenever I speak to him, he is in good spirits. He has lots of energy and is always very positive. I never get the impression that he is depressed. I hope we will get to meet each other finally.”
“My dream is that we will live in the same country. I don’t know how we will make that happen, but we have talked about it, and it’s possible I will live with my father. I know it is dangerous for him in Britain, as there is so much hatred towards him, so we will need to keep a low profile and stay somewhere out of the way.”
“I feel in my heart we will see each other soon.” Gary Jr also disclosed that: The economic situation in my home country is very bad. My mother has never worked but my father has always supported us, so we did not struggle financially when I was growing up.”
“I don’t know exactly how much he was paying because I was a child, but everyone knows that my dad’s bank accounts have been frozen, so obviously whatever support he was providing has stopped. And even if you have money in Cuba, it is not possible to buy the things you need.”
“I don’t know why, but the system in Cuba is broken. It was better during the dictatorship under Fidel Castro. I moved to Moscow as it is one of the only places that Cubans are allowed to visit and I worked as a tattoo artist there. I don’t know if I will ever return to Cuba. I have decided that if I want to pursue my dreams, it has to be somewhere else.”
“I want to be a singer one day and make my money from music just like my dad. I am not in a band right now, but I like to sing and write songs with my friends. I love rock music and my dad’s old songs and I listen to them whenever I need inspiration. My favourite track of his is Rock and Roll.”
“I guess I have inherited some of his talent. I am also a big fan of pop music and Michael Jackson. My father is always encouraging me and saying that I should not let fear hold me back. He says I need to be confident and follow my dreams.”

According to Gary Jr “Growing up without a father in the house was hard at times, but my mum installed good values in me and I had a good childhood for the most part. We never wanted for anything. From the age of 10, I would be out skateboarding in the street and I still love to skateboard.”
“My mum and dad are still friends. I don’t know if he is the love of her life, you will have to ask her that question. But she says that my father and I are very similar. We both have a lot of energy and a good vibe. Back in Cuba, I only have my mother and sister, whose father my mother is now separated from.”
“Most of my mother’s relatives have moved to Spain to start a new life. I tried to move to Spain before I went to Russia, but they would not give me a visa so I had to wait. My dream is to move to England one day. I don’t know where but not London as there are too many paparazzi there and I want to have more privacy.”
“I don’t have any contact with any of my other family members in the UK, only with my dad. I always say that family is the people that love you, so I have no wish to meet anyone else. My dad has always been there for me and he has always given me advice and support.”
“He calls me on the phone whenever he can. His Spanish is not great and my English is basic but we somehow manage to have long conversations. I don’t remember when I first found out about his child abuse conviction, but this has been a dark cloud over my family for so many years.”
