The family went through painful losses when Barry’s brothers Maurice, Robin, and Andy passed away. These times were very hard, but Stephen says the challenges brought everyone closer and made their bond even stronger.
Stephen has also been honest about his own struggles. He has spoken about dealing with addiction and something he calls “survivor’s guilt.” Through it all, his dad and family gave him the support he needed.
