The Australian group’s ascent to popularity, the public’s backlash against disco, and their later artistic rebirth through songwriting for other singers were all covered in the HBO documentary The Bee Gees: How to Mend a Broken Heart. The documentary exposes the difficulties of being in a globally renowned band with your siblings, set against the backdrop of the brothers’ individual victories and setbacks.

The Bee Gees stayed closer than most despite years of infighting and communication breakdowns. They supported one another throughout the years and, more significantly, their expanding families. Although How to Mend a Broken Heart examines the brothers’ interactions, it skips over a lot of detail about their familial backgrounds.
Here is all the information you require if you watched The Bee Gees: How to Mend a Broken Heart and are curious about the Bee Gees’ kids.
Gibb, Barry
Together with his second and present wife, Linda, Barry Gibb is the father of five children: Stephen, Ashley, Travis, Michael, and Alexandra.

Like their father, Steve, Ashley, and Travis are musicians; Steve is also a guitarist in Barry’s band.
As an actor, Michael has starred in films such as the 2020 film Stan the Man and the upcoming film Just South of Insanity.
Barry’s only daughter, Alexandra, is an award-winning newscaster who resides in Canada.
Gibb, Robin
Robin was Maurice’s twin brother and over his lifetime had four children. The children of Robin’s first marriage to Molly Hullis, Spencer and Melissa Gibb, spent every day by their father’s bedside, “talking to him and playing his favorite music” until his death from cancer in 2012 at the age of 62.
Spencer, like his father, pursued a career in music and went on to perform as a solo performer and founding member of the group 54 Seconds.
Like his well-known family, Robin-John “RJ” Gibb pursued careers in acting and music. The 37-year-old is the son of Dwina Murphy, an author and artist who was Robin’s second wife.
Snow Evelyn Robin Juliet, Robin’s fourth child, was born in 2008 as a result of an extramarital romance between Robin and his housekeeper, who was 25 years old. The Sunday Mirror reports that the 12-year-old received an inheritance of $6.2 million.
Gibb, Maurice
Like their late father, Adam and Samantha, the children of Maurice’s second wife, Yvonne, are also musicians.
However, in 2019, a man from East Sussex named Nick Endacott disclosed that he was a long-lost son Maurice had fathered while residing in London.
After Nick was born, his mother, Patti Nolder, who had previously managed a studio, placed him for adoption. Nick was able to reconnect with his biological mother as an adult and discovered that he might be Maurice’s son.
Nick verified a perfect match with Maurice’s son Adam, who had entered his own details onto Ancestry.co.uk years prior, using a saliva swab that he supplied to the website.
“The results have shown that he and Adam are 100% half-siblings, which is only possible if we have a single parent in common,” Nick stated.
Nick claimed that knowing who his biological father is brought him “completion … and … wholeness,” even if he had no legal claim to Maurice’s enormous inheritance because he had been lawfully adopted as a youngster.
Like Maurice and his half-siblings, Nick was also a musician, demonstrating that musical talent runs in the Gibb family.
