Tulisa 'So Happy' After Finding Long-Lost Half-Brother

Tulisa is said to be "so happy" after finally tracking down her long-lost half-brother after a five year search.

According to N-Dubzstar met Neil Jones - who has the same father as Tulisa - for the first time at her North London home last Sunday (March 3).

T is quoted by the tabloid as saying: "I'm so happy to finally meet my brother. This has been a very important weekend for my family."

The Young singer now intends to stay in touch with her 35-year old half-sibling, with a source adding to the newspaper: "Tulisa feels like the final piece of her family jigsaw has been completed.

"She has spent years trying to find Neil and was delighted after finally discovering his whereabouts. They communicated online and agreed to meet up over a coffee.

"Tulisa was incredibly nervous but the meeting went really well and Neil has been welcomed into the family with open arms. Tulisa could not be happier. It's been an emotional few days."

It is thought Neil knew he had a half-sister, but had no idea that she was Tulisa, with the insider claiming: "Naturally he was stunned when he realised he was related to someone whose records he had bought unknowingly.

"Neil was pretty nervous but has taken it all in his stride."

Tulisa - who is rumoured to have been dropped from The X Factor judging panel - added: "I'd like to ask everyone to respect our privacy at this time".
