Ringo Starr & Barbara Bach’s Love Story
GettyStarr and Bach have been married since April 1981 and met on the set of the 1981 film, “Cavemen.” At the time of their meeting, they were in relationships. Bach clarified how their relationship began in a 1981 interview with Playboy.
“A lot of garbage has been written about us, none of it interesting,” Bach said, People reports. “The truth is, we weren’t together until the very end of Caveman. Working, we got along fine, but we each had other people, our respective friends. Then, all of a sudden, within a week — the last week of shooting — it just happened. We changed from friendly love to being in love.”
Their enduring relationship is celebrated as one of the most beautiful love stories, and when they celebrated 35 years of marriage in 2015, Starr spoke about what made their coupling work in an interview with People. “There’s no escape … I think I love Barbara as much [today] as I did [when we met] – and I’m beyond blessed that she loves me and we’re still together,” he said. Bach joined him for the interview and shared her thoughts. “I love the man, and that’s it,” she said.
The couple has no biological children together, but they do have a beautiful blended family. Starr has three children with his ex-wife Maureen Cox. She passed away on December 30, 1994. And Bach has two children with her first husband, businessman Augusto Gregorini.
