Brandon Eric Williams is Barry Williams' eldest child. He is the only child born in his second marriage to Eila Williams. Although the youngster has taken a keen interest in music, he is also pursuing his college education.

Brandon Eric Williams drew his first breath on January 24, 2003, born to "The Brady Bunch" star Barry Williams and his former spouse, Eila Williams. The then-newborn weighed seven pounds, seven and a half ounces, and measured 20 inches in height.

He was the first of Barry's children. Although his dad accumulated tremendous fame by the time he arrived, Brandon was protected from the spotlight. Still, he made a few public appearances in his childhood. Now all grown up, he's in the early stages of etching his mark on the world.

Brandon Eric Williams Excelled Academically

In May 2021, Brandon's father shared a congratulatory post in his son's honor on Instagram. The then-18-year-old had just graduated high school. Alongside a photo of Brandon happily wrapping his arms around his dad and his wife, Tina Mahina, Barry wrote:

"Congratulations to Brandon Williams for graduating with High Distinction and Cum Laude! We are proud!"

A few months later, the longtime actor provided an update on his son's plans. Barry shared that alongside being a full-time college student, the now-20-year-old was also a musician, though he hadn't said anything about making music his profession.

When asked if he'd have any problems with either Brandon or his daughter, Samantha Rose Williams, pursuing a career in show business, he responded, "You know, I'm a dad, so I would be 100 percent supportive of whatever they chose to do."

Brandon Eric Williams's Parents Separated in Early 2005

Brandon's mother, Eila, filed for divorce from his father in January 2005, following two months of separation. The couple had been married since 1999. Eila reportedly requested sole custody of Brandon.

Additionally, if her request were granted, she would only allow The Traveliers frontman to visit Brandon with a nanny present. It's unknown how the former couple settled the matter.

Brandon Eric Williams Frequently Travels with His Dad

Brandon frequently travels with his dad and appears to get along with his wife, Tina, as she tends to tag along. In March 2019, the three of them visited the "Harry Potter" film set at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Barry shared a family photo of himself, Brandon, and Tina during their trip to the studio on IG. Fans flooded the comment section with sweet messages, marveling at how alike Brandon looked to his father. One exclaimed, "Augh!!!!!! Time machine!!! Your son! He's your clone!!!"

Another gushed, "Your son looks just like you, Barry; he's so handsome, just like you!" One other person said, "Greg [Brady], whoo?? (your son looks just like you)," referring to Barry's role as Greg in the '70s comedy "The Brady Bunch," opposite Christopher Knight, Maureen McCormick, and Florence Henderson.

Just days before going to Universal Studios, the pair met the NY Yankees during their Spring Training. Later, in 2019, they traveled with Tina to The Starlight Theater in Kansas City to watch a stage production of "The Wizard of Oz" and enjoyed a family vacation in Costa Rica that August.
