Take That singer Gary Barlow is a doting father to three children whom he shares with his wife Dawn Andrews.

The couple welcomed their eldest, a son called Daniel, in August 2000 - the same year that they wed.

Gary and Dawn later expanded their brood and went on to welcome daughters Emily, 22, and Daisy, 15 in 2002 and 2009 respectively. Their fourth child, Poppy, was tragically delivered stillborn in 2012.

The 'Patience' hitmaker tends to keep his children out of the spotlight and rarely sheds light on his family life. In a recent interview, however, the doting father spoke openly about his children's futures, revealing how all three have decided not to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

"The two oldest ones have kind of gone into medicine and physiology - studying strength and conditioning," he told The Mirror. "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."

While Gary's two daughters typically avoid the spotlight, Daniel, who is thought to be 6'2", occasionally stars on the singer's social media pages and once even joined Gary at Wimbledon.

Gary and Daniel appear to have a shared passion for sports, and in 2019, the father-son duo sparked a sweet fan reaction with their fitness video. 

The clip, which was uploaded to Instagram, showed Gary and Daniel lifting weights outside. In his caption, the singer wrote: "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. I'm very proud of my boy and his commitment to his fitness. Don't look at the difference in weights. Don't notice that I'm stood a little further forward to make the size gap smaller. Lol."
