Barry Gibb (Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees) is a singer and songwriter who combines a successful career with a close family life. He has been married to singer and songwriter Linda Gray for over 50 years since 1970. Together, they have five children: Stephen (with wife Ashley), Travis (with wife Michael), and Alexandra (with wife Sarah). Each of their children have their own unique style of music appreciation, with different levels of musical involvement.
Stephen and Ashley: Maintaining the Musical Legacy
Stephen was born in 1973, and he picked up a guitar at the age of 13. He went on to play in bands like 58, Black Label Society and the Mythology Tour. The father-and-son duo performed on the Mythology Tour together, and Stephen’s talent as a songwriter could be seen on Barry’s album ‘In the Now’, which he co-wrote.
Ashley was born in 1970, and he initially played tennis before turning his attention to music. He also co-wrote ‘Guilty Pleasures’ and Barry’s ‘In the Now’.
Born in 1981, Travis chose not to pursue a career in the music industry and instead pursued a career in Miami real estate. He maintains a very private life and occasionally shares pictures of his family via social media.
Michael was born in 1984. He was named after the late pop star, Michael Jackson. Michael went on to pursue an acting career, starring in movies such as “Stan the Man”.
Alexandra: The youngest Gibb
Barry Gibb’s youngest and only daughter, born in 1991, is indirectly responsible for one of pop culture’s most iconic moments, ‘The Barry Gibson Talk Show’, a Saturday Night Live sketch. Although she isn’t directly connected to the music world, she plays an important role in shaping her dad’s public persona.
The Gibb family provided him with a safe haven during the break-up of the Bee Gees in the 1980s, and continues to serve as a source of joy and inspiration for his solo music career to this day. As a proud dad and grandfather, Barry takes pride in his kids’ successes and the development of their families.
