Their enthusiasm for their unborn sister led them to choose the name Alexandra for her. Initially, Alexandra's mother preferred the name Leanna, but ultimately, she used it as Alexandra's middle name.

Despite coming from a famous family, Alexandra prefers to live a low-key life. However, in 2017, she was spotted spending quality time with her father. The pair were seen hanging out over lunch at a high-end restaurant.

Then, in 2017, Alexandra and her family attended the O2 Silver Clef Awards in London.

Barry Gibb's Daughter Was Reportedly Born Prematurely

Alexandra is the youngest among her siblings, with four older brothers: Ashley, Steve, Travis, and Michael. She was reportedly born prematurely, and her mother was bedridden. Alexandra and her mother remained in the hospital until they fully recovered. It was also during this time that her paternal grandfather passed away.

When Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake impersonated Alexandra's father and his brother Robin who were members of the renowned band Bee Gee on "Saturday Night Live," Alexandra's father didn't find it entertaining. However, Alexandra encouraged her father to embrace the humor, explaining that parody can be seen as a form of admiration.

Alexandra's father once shared an interesting story about her. He recalled a time when she was driving to dinner and happened to hear his song, "Stayin' Alive," on the radio. Completely immersed in the music, Alexandra turned up the volume and rolled down the car window. To her surprise, people on the streets started dancing along to the song as she drove by.

Alexandra's parents met in 1967 and have been together for over five decades. Her mom, 17 at the time, was Miss Edinburgh, a Scottish beauty queen. Alexandra's father recounted their first meeting, describing it as a moment of love at first sight. He recalled that upon seeing Alexandra's mother for the first time, he felt he was destined to spend the rest of his life with her.
