The Bee Gees’ Children: Carrying On a Musical Dynasty

The Bee Gees may have been one of the most iconic bands in history, but behind the disco beats and falsetto harmonies, Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb were also family men. While HBO’s documentary The Bee Gees: How to Mend a Broken Heart explored their rise, fall, and comeback, it didn’t dive deep into their personal lives—particularly their children, many of whom have followed in their famous fathers’ footsteps.

Barry Gibb, the sole surviving brother, has five children with his wife Linda. His sons Stephen, Ashley, and Travis are all musicians, with Stephen even playing guitar in Barry’s touring band. His daughter Alexandra, however, took a different path as an award-winning news anchor in Canada. Meanwhile, Michael, Barry’s youngest, has ventured into acting, starring in films like Stan the Man.

Robin Gibb’s children also inherited their father’s artistic talents. Spencer and Melissa, from his first marriage, remained close to him until his passing in 2012. Spencer became a musician, forming the band 54 Seconds, while Robin’s son with second wife Dwina, Robin-John “RJ” Gibb, pursued both music and acting. Then there’s Snow Evelyn Robin Juliet, Robin’s daughter from an extramarital relationship, who inherited a $6.2 million trust fund.

Maurice’s children, Adam and Samantha, are musicians like their late father. But in a twist, Maurice’s legacy expanded when Nick Endacott, a man from East Sussex, discovered through DNA testing that he was Maurice’s long-lost son. Though legally adopted and with no claim to the Gibb fortune, Nick—also a musician—found closure in knowing his biological roots.

From music to acting to journalism, the Gibb children prove that talent runs deep in this legendary family.
