What Happened to Barry Gibb’s Children? A Glimpse into the Gibb Family Legacy
Barry Gibb, the legendary frontman of the Bee Gees and the last surviving brother of the iconic trio, is celebrated worldwide for his groundbreaking contributions to music. But behind the spotlight and stage lights lies another story — that of a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. While millions know Barry for timeless hits like Stayin’ Alive and Night Fever, many may not realize the profound importance his family holds in his life. Let’s take a closer look at Barry Gibb’s five children and where life has taken them.
Barry and his wife Linda Gray married in 1970 and raised five children together: Stephen, Ashley, Travis, Michael, and Alexandra. Each has taken a unique path, shaped in part by the legacy of their famous father.
Stephen Gibb, born in 1973, followed most closely in Barry’s musical footsteps. A talented guitarist, Stephen played in metal bands like Black Label Society and even joined his father on the Mythology Tour. He co-wrote songs for Barry’s personal 2016 album In the Now, bringing a new energy to the family’s musical legacy.
Ashley Gibb, born in 1977, initially preferred tennis over music but eventually discovered his songwriting talents. He contributed to Guilty Pleasures, Barbra Streisand’s album, and later co-wrote Barry’s entire 2016 album. A family man himself, Ashley balances music with raising his son Lucas.
Travis Gibb, born in 1981, chose a different path — real estate. Based in Miami, he’s built a successful career and is a proud husband and father of two, Lea and Liam. While not in the entertainment industry, he remains close to his family.
Michael Gibb, born in 1984 and named after his godfather Michael Jackson, turned toward acting, appearing in indie films. His quieter presence in the public eye doesn’t overshadow his creative contribution to the Gibb name.
Alexandra Gibb, born in 1991, is the only daughter and youngest of the siblings. Though not in showbiz, she’s played an important role behind the scenes, notably encouraging Barry to participate in the Saturday Night Live parody “The Barry Gibb Talk Show” — a lighthearted moment that fans loved.
From music and film to business and family life, Barry Gibb’s children have all pursued individual passions while remaining connected to their father and the Gibb legacy. For Barry, fame was always second to family — a sentiment that continues to resonate in the lives of his children.
