Freddie Mercury’s daughter was Bibi (often called “B”), a previously unknown child whose existence became public in 2025
Bibi was revealed to be Freddie Mercury’s secret daughter in Lesley‑Ann Jones’s 2025 biography Love, Freddie.
Mercury reportedly fathered her during an affair in 1976.
He affectionately called her “Bibi,” “trésor” (treasure), and “little froggie.”
Her Relationship With Freddie Mercury
Bibi grew up knowing Mercury was her father. She watched him perform live and followed Queen tours on a globe he gave her.
Before his death in 1991, Mercury entrusted her with 17 volumes of handwritten personal journals, which later formed the basis of the biography.
Two Queen songs — “Bijou” and “Don’t Try So Hard” — were said to be inspired by her.
Her Illness and Passing
Bibi suffered from chordoma, a rare spinal cancer that first appeared in childhood and later returned.
She died peacefully at age 48 in January 2026, survived by her husband Thomas and two sons (ages 9 and 7).
Her ashes were scattered over the Alps.
Bibi kept her identity private for decades, fearing the impact on her medical career.
She went public only months before her death, expressing the difficulty of sharing her father with the world.
Freddie Mercury was long believed to have had no children, making the revelation of Bibi’s life and story a significant and poignant addition to his legacy.
