Take That star Gary Barlow has revealed his children have not followed in his famous footsteps, instead shunning the limelight for academic pursuits.
The pop icon, 53 – who rose to fame alongside Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Jason Orange, and Howard Donald in the legendary boyband – is notoriously private about his family life, but shared an update on his children.
The musician revealed that his son Daniel, 24, and daughter Emily, 22, have chosen very different career paths, while his daughter Daisy, 15, is still unsure of her future.
‘The two oldest ones [Daniel and Emily] have kind of gone into medicine and physiology – studying strength and conditioning – and my youngest one, Daisy, I’m not too sure what she’s heading for but again, she’s very studious… unlike me and my wife,’ he said.
He continued to The Mirror: ‘I don’t think they will follow in my music footsteps but I wouldn’t have discouraged them though if they did want to, it’s been a good business for me.
‘Every day I still enjoy what I do and when you realise you’re making a living from it, it’s a great, great place to be. Many roles in “showbiz” are just wonderful, there’s definitely a much harder world out there than the one I’m in I think.’

The singer rarely shares pictures of his children on social media, but in 2022 he posted a snap alongside his son last month as he celebrated an impressive sporting achievement.
‘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,’ he wrote alongside the family picture, which showed Daniel towering over his father.
‘Congratulations #ironman.’
In a separate post, Gary expressed how much he enjoys the quality time he gets to spend with his offspring, sharing a video of him and Daniel training together.
‘There’s nothing I love more than spending time with my kids. Here’s a little video of Dan and me having a Father and Son training session,’ he wrote.
‘I’m very proud of my boy and his commitment to his fitness. Don’t look at the difference in weights.
