Barry Gibb’s children are five, and they are Stephen, Ashley, Travis, Michael, and Alexandra Gibb. Gibb had all five of his children from his second marriage to his current wife, Linda Gray, who was the former Miss Edinburgh. His first marriage was to a woman known as Maureen Bates.
English-Australian musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer Barry Gibb has been active in the music industry since 1955 and has left quite the legacy, a fact that makes him a respected veteran of the industry but beyond his musical legacy, the five children he has with Linda Gray, his wife of more than five decades, are also doing their best to honor the quite illustrious legacy of their father. This article takes an in-depth look at their lives which includes their careers and personal lives.
Barry Gibb Has Been Married Twice
Barry Gibb exchanged marital vows with his first wife Maureen Bates, on August 2, 1966. Their union lasted for just four years before ending in 1970, following the finalization of their divorce proceedings in July of the same year. Beyond the date of their marriage and how long they were married, not much is known about Gibb’s marital relationship with Bates.
Some reports have it that the couple had one daughter together named Lesly Evans, who was born on 28 May 1968, but these reports do not come from reliable sources. It is also a known fact that Barry Gibb has a younger sister named Lesly Evans, who was born in 1945. There is the possibility that she is the one being mistaken for his daughter. To the best of public knowledge, Barry Gibb did not have any child with his first wife.
Two months after his marriage to Bates was dissolved, Gibb reconnected with Linda Gray, the former model he met for the first time three years prior. They tied the knot on September 1, 1970, coincidentally Barry’s 24th birthday. That marriage eventually led to the birth of the singer’s five children, who are the primary subjects of this article. Meet Stephen, Ashley, Travis, Michael, and Alexandra Gibb.
Stephen Gibb Is Barry Gibb’s Oldest Child
- Date of birth: December 1, 1973
- Age: 50 years old
- Mother: Linda Gray
- Occupation: Guitarist, bassist, and songwriter
Barry Gibb welcomed his oldest son and child with Linda Gray on December 1, 1973, in London, England, United Kingdom. His name is Stephen Thaddeus Crompton Gibb, and he was born under the birth sign of Sagittarius. Stephen is currently 54 years old, and while he is predominantly English, he has strong ancestral ties to Scotland and Ireland through his parents.
Stephen’s nationality is equally complex. His birth in England makes him a British citizen, but he might also have acquired American citizenship, having moved to Miami, Florida, in the United States with his parents at a relatively young age.
He spent his formative years in the country and obtained his high school diploma at The Lear School in Miami, Florida. We have yet to ascertain details of his formal educational background beyond high school, but it has been confirmed that he went on to acquire a music degree from one of the prestigious music schools in Miami.
Barry Gibb’s Oldest Son Struggled With Substance Abuse
Certain privileges like wealth often breed vices, and that maxim was never made so potent as in the life of Stephen Gibb, who was unable to manage the access he had to wealth and privilege at a very young age.
His reckless lifestyle led to the abuse of alcohol from when he was just 14 years old. As time passed, things became even worse after he added drug abuse to his repertoire of bad habits. He lost almost everything in the process, not the least of which was a roof over his head. He also started eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in his van.
Thankfully, he retraced his steps before things got out of hand and refocused his energy on his life and music career.
Stephen Gibb Is Also A Musician
Given the fact that he was raised in a predominantly music-oriented household which includes his father and uncles, it’s no surprise that Stephen Gibb is also in the music industry. He is a bassist, guitarist, and songwriter. Close family sources confirm the fact that he began playing the piano at the age of just three.
Ten years later, when he was thirteen years old, he switched to guitar and later to bass. He started making moves into the music industry as a high school student and formed a band with nine of his schoolmates. They were afforded several platforms at several special events, including school project launches.
At some point, they started playing professionally at local Miami clubs, including Woody’s, a club owned by Ronnie Wood, who was then a guitarist for the Rolling Stones. Through his family’s influence, Stephen joined the Bee Gees, a band his father and uncles had formed in the 1950s, in 1980.
He served as a guitarist and a guitar technician before giving life to his songwriting career after penning songs like Whiskey Jam and Shadow of Your Dreams. He later formed the metal band known as SkilletHead with a few of his friends. The band found a lot of success, and their services were in demand within and outside Miami.
Stephen’s musical career has seen him travel to countries such as Ireland, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, and Australia while working with several music groups, including 58, Underbelly’s, Black Label Society, Crowbar, and Jasta.
Some of the songs he did with these groups have been used in films and musicals. For instance, the track Stormy which he performed with 58, was used in The Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde Rock n’ Roll Musical in 2003. Stephen also briefly appeared in the 2003 movie Bad Boys II as a Klansman.
Stephen Is A Happily Married Man
Stephen Gibbs has been married for over two decades to his wife Gloria Leeves. Not much is known about how, when, or where they met, but it has been confirmed that they exchanged marital vows in 2002, even though the finer details of the ceremony have yet to become public knowledge.
The union has led to the birth of two lovely children, namely Angus Miles Gibb and Nina Lyn Gibb, who are Barry Gibb’s grandchildren.
Barry Gibb’s Second Child is Another Son, Ashley Gibb
- Date of birth: September 8, 1977
- Age: 46 years old
- Mother: Linda Gray
- Occupation: Songwriter, actor, musician
Sequentially, Ashley Gibb is Barry Gibb’s second child with Linda Gray, but he is the first of the singer’s children born in the United States. He was born in Miami, Florida, on September 8, 1977, almost four years after the birth of his older brother Stephen. He is an American citizen by birth, but he also has strong English, Scottish, and Irish ancestral roots from his parents.
Ashley was born under the birth sign of Virgo and is currently 54 years old. Like virtually all of his siblings, Ashley spent all his formative years in Miami, Florida. However, certain aspects of those years have been withheld from the media and general public, including details of his formal educational background. Given his family history, though, one would agree that Ashley had access to the best education money could buy.
Ashley Gibb Is Also In Show Business
Ashley, like his father and older brother, earns a living through the services he provides in the entertainment industry. He is a songwriter, actor, and musician. Some of his musical achievements were born out of the close relationship he has with his father, with whom he co-wrote two songs: Angels and Drown on the River.
As an actor, Ashley has been productively involved in the production of some movie projects such as Bleed Out, The Dark Hand, and Shepherd and Butchers. While we have yet to ascertain his true net worth, one would be hard-pressed to argue against the fact that he is financially stable.
Ashley Gibb Had His First Child In 2003
Ashley Gibb has been a father for about two decades now, courtesy of his marital relationship with his wife Theresa Halman Gibb. The details of their relationship as a couple are not as clear cut as the fact that they welcomed their first child, a son named Lucas John Crompton Gibb, in December 2003.
The timeline of Lucas’ birth suggests that the couple has been together for more than two decades, though. Not much is known about Ashley’s wife, but the singer took to the Bees Gees Forever Facebook page to wish her a happy birthday on May 5, 2020.
Barry Gibb’s Third Child is Travis Gibb
- Date of birth: January 10, 1981
- Age: 43 years old
- Mother: Linda Gray
- Occupation: Musician and actor
Travis Ryan Crompton Gibb was born on January 10, 1981. The 54 year-old is Barry Gibb’s third son and child with Linda Gray. He was born in the Bay Harbor Islands in the State of Florida, United States, confirming his status as a United States citizen. However, he is also English with a touch of Scottish and Irish ancestry. His birth sign is Capricorn, and like his two older brothers, Travis was raised primarily in the United States.
For now, the details of Travis’ academic qualifications have yet to be laid to the limelight, but one can assume that he is quite educated given the fact that he comes from a family capable of footing whatever academic bills he might have incurred.
Travis Gibb Is A Musician And Actor
Travis’ strong family background in the world of music inevitably meant that he chose the path of music as a source of income. However, it is important to state that he did not choose to become a musician simply because it was something most members of his family did or as a means to make money, Travis chose to become a musician because of his deep-seated passion for music.
Since his musical career began, he has churned out several singles, including Can’t Fake Love, Sin Compromisos, I’ve Got a Message, Take Me Home, and On My Own. Travis is also an actor best known for his role in the TV series Hangin With Web Show.
Travis Keeps A Tight Lid On His Personal Life
Travis Gibb prefers to keep a low profile in matters related to his personal life. That choice has meant that we don’t know much about his love life, including whether he is married, in a relationship, or has any kids of his own.
Michael Gibb Is Barry Gibb’s Youngest Son
- Date of birth: December 1, 1984
- Age: 39 years old
- Mother: Linda Gray
- Occupation: Actor
Michael Gibb is technically Barry Gibb’s fourth child, but he is also the singer’s youngest son with his former beauty queen wife Linda Gray. Michael was born on December 1, 1984, exactly eleven years after his oldest brother Stephen was born. He is currently 39 years old, and while it has been confirmed that he was born in the United States, the exact place of his birth in the North American country is unknown.
Michael has dual citizenship in America and the UK, the former as a result of his birth and the latter through his parental heritage. He was named after the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, who was a close friend of his father. Michael was raised in the United States, but he has also withheld details of his formal educational background from the media and the general public, even though he seems to be well-educated.
Barry Gibb’s Youngest Son Is An Actor
Michael Gibb is also in the entertainment industry, but unlike his father and older brothers, he chose to express his creative talents primarily as an actor as opposed to music. His acting career comprises several acting credits, including in movies such as Buddies, Bad Actress, Stan the Man, and several others.
Michael is also quite passionate about charity, and his activities allowed him to be inducted, alongside his wife and several members of his birth family, as the first Young Society Honorees at the 34th Love and Hope Ball, which was hosted at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa in 2008.
Michael Gibb Is Married With Kids
Michael Gibb knows what it feels like to be a married man having been married to his wife of several years now, Jenna Gibb. The couple’s marital union has led to the birth of three lovely children whose identities have remained hidden from the media and the general public.
Alexandra Gibb Is Barry Gibb’s Only Daughter With Linda Gray
- Date of birth: December 29, 1991
- Age: 32 years old
- Mother: Linda Gray
- Occupation: Newscaster, Journalist
It took them a while after having their youngest son, about seven years to be precise, but Barry Gibb and Linda Gray eventually became parents to a daughter. Her name is Alexandra Gibb, and she was born on December 29, 1991. She was born in Miami, Florida, United States, under the birth sign of Capricorn, and is currently 54 years old.
Alexandra, like her older brothers, has dual citizenship, first because she was born in the United States and secondly because she was born to an English father with a strong Scottish and Irish ancestral background. Barry’s only daughter bagged her high school diploma after attending Skyline High School in Sammamish, Washington.
She continued her formal educational training at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, British Colombia, where she made her parents proud by graduating with first-class honors in Political science. She then went on to earn a master’s degree certificate from the University of British Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism.
Alexandra Gibb is a Journalist
Since earning the required certifications in the field of journalism, Alexandra Gibb has been putting those degrees to productive use. She began her professional career in that field as a news intern at Seattle Times. She grew to the position of news producer, a position she worked in from May 2012 to July 2012.
She interned in the reporter position at the Globe and Mail in Vancouver before becoming the CBC News Vancouver scholar in May 2013. She later became a news producer with CBC News and a show producer at CBC Vancouver News 6 in 2017.
Alexandra’s dedication and hard work have paid off in several ways, including financially. She has been recognized and rewarded for her work severally, including with the 2018 Canadian Screen Award for Best Local Newscaster.
Alexandra Gibb Appears To Be Single
Alexandra Gibb is most likely still single. The beautiful and talented journalist could have her pick of men, but it appears her primary goal is to rise even higher in her chosen field of endeavor. Consequently, she is not married and does not yet have children of her own.
