Remember Barry Williams as Greg Brady from the classic ABC sitcom "The Brady Bunch"? That show ran from 1969 to 1974, and it made him a household name. But fast forward to today, and Barry's life has taken a different turn. He's now a proud dad to two kids, Brandon and Samantha, who bring a whole new kind of joy into his life.
Getting to Know Barry Williams' Children
Barry's journey into fatherhood began with his second wife, Eila Mary Matt, whom he married back in 1999. Together, they welcomed their first child, Brandon, on January 24, 2003. The news was announced by Barry's manager, Anthony Anzaldo, who shared with the Midland Daily News that Brandon was born weighing 7 pounds, 7-and-a-half ounces, and measured 20 inches long. It was a truly special moment for Barry and Eila, marking the beginning of their family.
Unfortunately, Barry and Eila's marriage didn't last, and they parted ways in 2005. Barry then started dating Elizabeth Kennedy, and in April 2012, they expanded his family with the birth of his daughter, Samantha. She arrived about a month earlier than her April 23 due date, but she's been a bundle of joy ever since.

Barry Williams' Love Life: Who's the Woman in His Life?
Barry's personal life has had its ups and downs, and his relationship with Elizabeth didn't last either. In 2017, he found love again with Tina Mahina, his current partner. They've been together ever since, and while they haven't added to their family, they seem to be enjoying their time as a couple.
Throughout the years, Barry has kept his children out of the spotlight, ensuring they grow up away from the chaos of Hollywood. Neither Brandon nor Samantha has joined their dad at any major events, and Barry hasn't shared photos of them on social media. In fact, he doesn't even have an Instagram account, though he does occasionally talk about his kids in interviews.
Barry Opens Up About His Children
In an exclusive interview with Closer in August 2021, Barry shared some insights into his kids' lives. He mentioned that Brandon, his son, is a musician, though he's still a full-time student and hasn't expressed any interest in pursuing music professionally. As for Samantha, Barry described her as a "natural" with a "big personality." It's clear that he's proud of both his children, no matter what path they choose in life.
When asked if his kids might follow in his footsteps into show business, Barry admitted he's not sure. But he assured fans that he'd be fully supportive of whatever career they decide to pursue. "You know, I’m a dad, so I would be 100 percent behind whatever they choose to do," he told Closer, emphasizing his unconditional love and support for Brandon and Samantha.
