Debbie Gibson: Who is she?
By the year 2020, Deborah Ann Gibson, who was born on August 31, 1970, will be 50 years old. She works as a record producer, actor, singer, and composer in the United States. She has been in the public eye since since her debut album, Out of the Blue, was released in 1987.
The RIAA awarded her triple Platinum certification for her debut album. As a composer, producer, and singer of the song “Foolish Beat,” she made history as the youngest female artist to have a song chart at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1989, she continued her musical career with the release of Electric Youth, her second studio album, which featured the American number-one smash single Lost in Your Eyes. Together with Bruce Springsteen, she shared the 1989 ASCAP Songwriter of the Year award. Gibson has a successful career as a singer, but she has also built a strong acting career, making appearances in a number of small movies and television programs.

Childhood and Education
Gibson was born in the city of Brooklyn, New York in 1970. She was the third child born to Joseph Gibson (the father) and Diane Pustizzi Gibson (the mother). To expand on her family background, it should be noted that her father, Joseph Schultz, was an orphan as a child. Joseph was eventually taken to live at an orphanage after Debbie’s paternal grandma married a Gibson.
With her parents, brothers, and other family members, Debbie grew up in the New York neighborhood of Merrick. She identifies as American and claims to be of German, Italian/Sicilian, and maybe Russian ancestry. Her father, who had a strong passion for singing, served as an inspiration for her to pursue a career in music. She then proceeded to Morton Estrin’s piano studio to learn the instrument.
Marriage Life
Debbie Gibson, an American singer, is not married even though she has been in a serious relationship with Rutledge Taylor since 2008 and they may one day become husband and wife. Additionally, she had previously been linked to Jonathan Kanterman, and the two had even been engaged.
More specifically, Robert Bardo (born January 2, 1970), who was later convicted of killing American model and actress Rebecca Schaeffer and is presently receiving a life sentence, stalked her. She was chased by Spanish taxi driver Jorge Puigdollers as well; she only filed a lawsuit against him in 2008. The case was dismissed by the court after she did not show up for the hearing.
Debbie Gibson’s Kids
Debbie Gibson, a singer and songwriter, remains childless despite having a desire to have kids. She has had Lyme illness since the start of 2013, which explains this. That could be the reason she hasn’t been successful in finding a partner. She is lucky to have 10 nieces and nephews, though.
