Meet Gary Barlow’s studious children pursuing medicine and physiology as they shun the showbiz limelight

Meet Gary Barlow's studious children pursuing medicine and physiology as they shun the showbiz limelight

As a lifestyle expert with decades of personal and professional experience under my belt, I must say that the story of Gary Barlow and his family is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. On one hand, it’s inspiring to see the resilience and determination of his children, particularly his eldest son who completed an Ironman competition. It’s a testament to their strong character and dedication, traits that I believe Gary has instilled in them.


Instead of stepping into the limelight like many celebrities’ kids, remarkably, Gary Barlow’s children have opted to stay away from the glamorous world of entertainment.

Take That band member, aged 53, has four family members – Daniel (24), Emily (22), and Daisy (15) – with wife Dawn Andrews, who they’ve been married to for 25 years. Surprisingly, none of his children have pursued a career in the limelight, despite their father’s remarkable achievements in the entertainment industry.

Instead of choosing an academic route, Gary’s eldest kids, Daniel and Emily, have made the decision to enter the fields of medicine and physiology for their careers.

Gary shared that his youngest child hasn’t yet determined her primary interests, but she shares the academic dedication exhibited by her brothers and sisters.

The artist tends to keep his personal family matters quiet, seldom sharing photographs of his children online.

Instead, the kids themselves maintain their social media accounts privately, opting against using their well-known father’s influence to forge a path in influencer careers.

During his stint under the spotlight, Gary is said to have accumulated an impressive £90M fortune. However, he shared with The Mirror over the weekend that his kids, surprisingly, bear little resemblance to him and have no inclination towards show business. Instead, they’ve chosen academic paths for their careers.

He mentioned that his eldest children, Daniel and Emily, are focused on medical and physiological studies, particularly strength and conditioning. His youngest child, Daisy, seems to be undecided about her future path, but she is certainly academically inclined… unlike him and his spouse.

I believe they won’t continue my path in the music industry, yet I would not have dissuaded them had they shown interest. In fact, if they had chosen that route, it wouldn’t have been something I regretted, as it’s been quite profitable for me.

Day by day, I continue to find joy in my work, and discovering that it provides a living is simply fantastic. There are numerous roles within the entertainment industry that are truly remarkable, and I believe there’s a far more challenging world beyond the one I currently inhabit.

Prior to the debut of his upcoming ITV travel series titled “Gary Barlow’s Wine Tour: South Africa,” Gary will be embarking on his travels accompanied by well-known companions such as Jane McDonald and Ben Shephard.

In the year 2022, I had the pleasure of capturing and sharing a special moment with my family – my eldest son, Daniel, turning 22 years old. The joy on his face was simply unparalleled as we celebrated this significant milestone together.

He wrote: ‘Happy 22nd Birthday to our Dan. We love you mate and you make us so proud every day’.

In a taller stance, standing at six feet two inches, Gary’s oldest son towered over his father, who is five feet seven, both gazing out towards the ocean.

The star also celebrated his son’s achievement completing the Ironman competition back in September, which saw him tackle a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile run. 

He wrote: ‘We just couldn’t be prouder of our boy – unbelievable amounts of training and determination – when you put in the work you get the results.’

Previously, the songwriter who gained fame with “The Shine” expressed his pride when Emily chose to enroll at university in 2022 for a four-year program.

Originally, the teenager intended to pursue higher education in the year 2020, but her plans were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In that moment, Gary shared with Zoe Ball on her BBC radio program: “Currently, they are quite capable, one is attending university. One is taking a break, initially intended for university but has changed her mind due to the ongoing situation, which I fully empathize with.

Our youngest child is 11 years old, meaning they’ve grown out of the childhood stage, but to us, they will forever remain our little one.

Tragically, Gary and Dawn suffered the loss of their child, Poppy, back in 2012 as she was born stillborn. Earlier this year, Gary confessed that he has yet to find solace or come to terms with this heart-wrenching event.

During an appearance on The Imperfects podcast, Gary openly discussed his personal family hardship, admitting that he doesn’t delve deeply into the topic because he’s still trying to make sense of it all.

My wife’s feelings contrasted sharply with my own. I’ve harbored anger over this matter for quite some time now and haven’t fully reconciled with it yet.
