Early life
Barker was born in London. His father is of Irish and Portuguese descent, as well as his mother, who is Sri Lankan, was a former Miss Sri Lanka contestant who immigrated to the United Kingdom. She was instrumental in establishing her modeling career as she grew up and has said that she used her modeling experience to relocate her family to the United Kingdom. Barker grew up in a family with five siblings from a total of three marriages and lived there until he was 18. He attended Bryanston School, a boarding school, where he obtained his A-levels in biology, chemistry, and physics.
Personal life
Barker is married to Cristen Chin, a model and CoverGirl ambassador since 1999. Through Cristen's agent, the pair met in Milan; and for Barker, it was love at first sight. "I called my mom and said, 'I've seen this girl, and I'm gonna marry her,'" Barker says. The ground was moved. Although she appears on the outside, she also has an amazing heart. Jack and Jasmine, as well as the dog, Memphis, live in New York City.
