The Smiley Smile Message Board

First off, I really enjoy the videos of them singing. I hope they do more! I have seen all of them before except for Anika (name?) Love. Is she the full sister of Christian? Was she one of the young kids with Mike in Endless Harmony doc? Also, how close are they all to each other. Based on the vibe I got from watching them on stage, the son's of Carl and Dennis are fairly close. Then Matt and Adam seem to have a closeness to Carnie and Wendy. Christian and Anika look nice but don't have a closeness to any of them. But that's just the vibe I got from watching them on stage. Anybody know more about this? Did the relationship of say Mike and Dennis create a divide with their kids?

Ambha Love, different mother (Jacquie) than Christian (Suzanne).

How many kids does Mike Love have and how many times has he been married?  I was watching some Beach Boys videos on YouTube yesterday and there was a story from one of those evening entertainment shows about the 1994 songwriting lawsuit.  The story said that Brian attended Mike's marriage which said it was the ninth time he'd been married!  But Wikipedia only has six Mike wives listed.  I also noticed in the story that Mike and his new wife were holding hands with a little boy about four years old that looked like their kid.  I took that as Mike and his latest wife had a kid together before they got married and he's be an older brother to Ambha.  Unless the little boy was Mike's from a prior girlfriend or his wife's from a prior relationship.  Wikipedia says six children but this boy might be another one because Wiki says Mike only has one from his latest wife and his last kid would have been years before, so this boy doesn't fit the timeline. 

8 children (one born out of wedlock), married 5 times.

Hm, I'd read somewhere else that he'd been married nine times, too, but maybe that was taken from that wrong information on the entertainment program story.  I  guess the last wife must be working out because they've been married close to twenty years.  Christian has to be over twenty years older than Ambha.   

Mike's wives:

1 - Frances (1961): two children
2 - Suzanne (1965): two children
3 - Tamara 91972): one child
4 - Kathy (1981): one child (paternity disputed)
5 - Jacquelyne (1995): two children

Also, daughter Shawn by Shannon Harris.

I think it's almost 30. Christian was born in the mid-60s and Ambha was born in the mid-90s. Mike's oldest daughter Melinda is about 50 years old and Ambha is still in high school.

Christian stated at the Irvine Concert he was born in 68. Matt and Adam are close to Carnie and Wendy (in addition to other reasons) because they toured together with the Family and Friends band,a nd Matt is in the Wilson Phillips backing band. I would think that Justyn and Carl B. are close because carl likely played a large role in in Carl B. and Michael's adolesence due to Dennis' absence, as he did with Wendy and Carnie.  This is mostly speculation on my part, but I think think the Wilson children all looked to Carl as the patriarch of the family to a large degree. Of course, Justyn and Carl were also in the band In Bloom together, as well.

Christian is one of the kids on the cover of the Sunflower album.

along with Matt, Jonah and Carnie

... and Hayleigh Love, who finally has her voice on an official BB album, on "Daybreak Over the Ocean."

Is there any way to buy music by In Bloom? Anybody heard them? Is it good?

Shawn... Is that official? I think Mike denies it to this day.

Ambah's older brother is Brian Love. Must be in his early 20s. He's not into music as far as I know.

Didn't Brian Love tour with the band for a time a few years ago?  I thought I saw him on GMA with them, and they asked Mike about him as well.

Brian Love must have been the little guy on the YouTube clip I watched a few days ago.  He looked to be about four or five years old when Mike and his wife had their wedding in 1994 so he's probably around 22 or 23.
