Meabh Flynn is the wife of Peter Gabriel, a British musician, composer, record label producer, and activist. Meabh Flynn is a 40 year-old musician, producer, and director born in 1984.

Peter and Meabh met sometime in the early part of the 2000s and they started a relationship that resulted in marriage. The couple exchanged wedding vows on the 9th of June 2002 and their union has endured for two decades and still going strong. They have two children to show for their years together as husband and wife.

How Old is Meabh Flynn?

Meabh Flynn is currently 40 years old. She was born in 1984 in the United Kingdom, which makes her British by nationality. Her ethnic background is said to be White.

Despite being married to a celebrity of Peter Gabriel’s caliber, Meabh has managed to keep important details about her early life and family background under wraps. Nothing is known about the identities of her parents and siblings if any.

Flynn was born into a Christian home and has followed the Christian faith to date. She went to school in the United Kingdom and the United States. After she completed her early academic journey in the UK, she traveled down to the US to enroll at New York University where she studied Comparative literature. The quest for further academic qualifications took her to the School of Visual Arts to learn videography, photography, and media.

When Did Meabh Flynn Become Peter Gabriel’s Wife?

Meabh Flynn and her husband, Peter Gabriel, tied the nuptial knot on the 9th of June 2002. The duo reportedly met sometime in the early 2000s and started dating after a while.

The couple’s wedding ceremony was said to be a closed-door event with just family and few friends in attendance. At the time of their nuptials, Meabh Flynn was 37 years old.

The couple’s union has already clocked two decades and from what is perceivable, they are living in marital bliss.

Ralph was six years old when he became a big brother to Luc Gabriel who joined the family in 2008. Nothing much is known about Luc but he is in his early teens and still a high school student.

The first child of the British musician is Melanie Gabriel. Melanie was born on the 23rd of August 1976 and works in the music industry. In fact, she has been a backup vocalist with her father’s band since 2002. Peter’s daughter was seen in the final sequence of his video for Sledgehammer.

Melanie is older than her younger sister, Anna-Marie Gabriel by two years. Anna-Marie was welcomed into the family on the 26th of July 1974. She grew up to become a movie maker. Some of her known works include Growing Up on Tour: A Family Portrait and its sequel, Still Growing Up: Live & Unwrapped.
