Barry Gibb and Linda Gray: A Love Story That Endures
Bee Gees legend Barry Gibb has enjoyed not only one of the most successful careers in music but also one of the most enduring marriages in show business. Married to former Miss Edinburgh Linda Gray since 1970, their love has stood the test of time for more than five decades.
The couple first met in 1967 while filming Top of the Pops, and Barry has often said he instantly knew Linda was the woman he wanted to spend his life with. Despite the pressures of fame, rumors, and temptations — including advances from Hollywood stars — their bond has remained strong.
Together, they raised five children, some of whom followed Barry into music, even collaborating with him on his 2016 solo album In the Now. Barry credits Linda for keeping him grounded through personal tragedies, including the loss of his brothers Andy and Maurice, and for helping him avoid the pitfalls of substance abuse.
Today, Barry Gibb is celebrated as one of the greatest songwriters of all time, but he often emphasizes that Linda has been the true anchor of his life. Their marriage, unusually stable in the world of celebrity, continues to inspire fans around the world.
