Hannah Gibson Is an Actress and a Mother of Six
Hannah, born in 1980, is the eldest child of Robyn Moore and Mel, who split in 2011. She posts about parenting, home birthing, essential oils, and hoop dancing as @maeb_143 on social media.
She portrayed Arja in two episodes of the Finnish limited series "Toisen kanssa." She is credited as a makeup artist in her father's 2000 romantic comedy with actress Helen Hunt, "What Women Want," and production assistant on "The Patriot," released that same year.
The makeup artist gave birth to the first of six children, a daughter, in October 2007. In June 2021, the dancer hosted a talk with health coach Samantha Jackson titled "Gain Balance Through Nutrition."
Hannah Gibson Married Kenny Wayne Shepherd Back in 2006
Shepherd proposed to Hannah in Rome on New Year's Eve 2004. Shepherd had been married once before to his high school sweetheart Melissa Abcock between 2000 and 2002.
Their wedding venue, Holy Family Catholic Church in Agoura Hills, California, had great significance to the Gibson clan, as the "Braveheart" actor reportedly built it.
They had a traditional Catholic ceremony on September 16, 2006, delivered primarily in Latin. An acquaintance of the couple said, "I think it is a perfect match. It is a special relationship."
On their 15th wedding anniversary, Hannah shared a photo with her husband on the beach, joking that the longer one is with someone, the more you look alike. She continued:
"He has always respectfully allowed as much space for my process and experience in life and has never not treated me like a queen!"
The hoop dancer regularly travels with her husband when he goes on tour with his band. She explained the few photos with her whole brood in her Christmas post in 2020, "I'd post a family shot, but anyone with more than 3 children knows that's near impossible."
