They’ve been married for over five decades.
Barry Gibb and his loving wife Linda Gray are undoubtedly a model couple, at least when it comes to a long-term, loving marriage.
She has no doubt inspired some of the Bee Gees’ most beautiful songs, with the likes of ‘Words’ and specifically ‘Let There Be Love’ dedicated to her.
Linda must be one hell of a woman – she was certainly blessed with beauty, having won the title of Miss Edinburgh in 1967.
That was in fact the year she met Barry, who felt an instant connection and fell in love almost immediately.
They tied the knot three years later at Caxton Hall in London on 1st September 1970, and have remarkably been together since, through thick and thin.
In a 2017 interview on Piers Morgan: Life Stories, Barry revealed the secret to their enduring love, saying: “We tend to laugh a lot at everything around us [more] than we could find anything to be unhappy about
Opening up to Piers Morgan about a series of subjects surrounding his life and career, the conversation turned to his marriage, and how Barry first met Linda.
She had recently become Miss Edinburgh and was hosting the episode of Top Of The Pops when the Bee Gees went to number one with ‘Massachusetts’.
