In the wild world of rock and roll, marriages usually last about as long as a TikTok trend. But Barry Gibb and his wife, Linda Gibb, are built differently! They have been married for over 50 years!
While other stars were out partying, Barry only had eyes for one girl. But how did he meet the girl of his dreams?!
It wasn’t at a fancy party. In 1967, Barry was at the Top of the Pops TV studio. Linda was working there as a hostess (she was actually a former Miss Edinburgh!). The moment they locked eyes, it was game over. Barry once said they just “clicked.”
They didn’t wait long to make it official; they got married on September 1, 1970, which also happens to be Barry’s birthday! Talk about the best birthday present ever!
Unlike some celebrity wives who want to be in every selfie, Linda likes to stay out of the limelight. But she still is the backbone for Barry’s career! Barry credits her for saving his life. When his brothers were struggling with fame and bad habits, Linda was the one who kept Barry on the right path. He calls her his secret weapon!
