Since 1981, Ringo has been married to American actress and former model Barbara Bach, who he met a year prior.
The couple met on the set of Caveman, in which they had roles as each other's love interests, about 15 years after Barbara first saw him perform with The Beatles. Shortly after, they were involved in a near-fatal car accident where Ringo's car flipped over twice, and they vowed to stick together.
They officially tied the knot on April 27, 1981 in London surrounded by about 70 of their closest friends and family, including of course fellow Beatles Paul McCartney and George Harrison (John Lennon had been assassinated just a few months prior, in December 1980).

Other roles of hers include Force 10 From Navarone (1978)The Humanoid (1979), and Up the Academy (1980), though she left her acting career behind in the early 1980s.
Two years after her last film, a 1986 short titled To the North of Katmandu, both she and Ringo jointly entered rehab to deal with their drug and alcohol abuse.

Barbara and Ringo never had kids of their own, but he has three kids from his previous marriage to Maureen Cox, who passed away in 1994 after a battle with leukemia. They were married from 1965 to 1975, divorcing after respective affairs, Ringo with model Nancy Lee Adams and Maureen with his Beatles bandmate George, who passed away in 2001 after a battle with lung cancer.
Ringo's first child is Zak Starkey (the star's real name is Richard Starkey), 59, who has followed in his dad's footsteps and was part of rock band The Who from 1996 until this year. In 1985, when he was 19, he married Sarah Menikides, and they welcomed daughter Tatia Jayne in 1985, before ultimately separating in the early 2000s. He has been with his wife Sharna "Sshh" Liguz, 40, for 20 years, and they share a daughter, Luna Lee Lightnin, born in 2021.

Last but certainly not least is Ringo's daughter Lee, 57, who is a make-up artist and fashion designer. She has been in a relationship with musician Jay Mehler since 2006, and in 2009, they welcomed triplets, Smokey, Jakamo and Ruby Tiger.
