Bobby Sherman died on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, at 81. The singer’s wife, Brigitte Poublon, and longtime friend, John Stamos, announced the news of his passing in a joint Instagram post.

For the unversed, Brigitte Poublon was Sherman’s second wife, whom he married in 2011. She co-founded Brigitte & Bobby Sherman Children's Foundation (BBSCF) with her husband in 2011 while also serving as the organization’s CEO. According to BBSCF, Poublon was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, and arrived in the USA during the ‘60s as a political refugee.

Before meeting Bobby Sherman, she had a career in real estate. Brigitte Poublon grew up in South Central Los Angeles and studied law and business at El Camino College and UCLA. Poublon was in high school when she received her real estate license. She continued her career with her college studies and eventually retired in 2011.

According to her past Facebook posts, Brigitte was born on July 14. She hasn’t confirmed her age publicly, but an Instagram user commented, “60 is the new 40” under her birthday post for Bobby Sherman’s 80th birth anniversary. Thus, Brigitte is likely in her 60s. Moreover, she was 13 when she first saw her future husband and then-teen idol on American Bandstand, per A Breath of Fresh Air blog.

For those unaware, Bobby Sherman appeared as a guest on the program during an episode that aired on February 13, 1971. The late singer was 27 at the time, making him at least 14 years older than Brigitte Poublon, assuming she watched the original broadcast. However, the two didn’t cross paths for decades.
