Barry Williams, best known for his role as Greg Brady in the iconic 1970s sitcom The Brady Bunch, recently opened up about the off-screen relationships between the cast members.

At 69, Williams revealed that the younger stars of the show all "hooked up" with each other at various points in time, though not necessarily while filming, and his candid admission offers a glimpse into the close-knit dynamics behind the scenes of the beloved TV family, as the New York Post reports.

During a recent interview with Us Weekly, Williams spoke about how, over the years, various romantic connections developed among the cast.

He recalled dating co-star Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady, while Chris Knight, known for playing Peter Brady, dated Eve Plum, who portrayed Jan Brady.

Meanwhile, the younger members of the cast also shared their own moments, including a mock wedding between Michael Lookinland (Bobby Brady) and Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady).

Williams Discusses Teenage Crush on Florence Henderson

One of the more surprising revelations was Williams' teenage crush on Florence Henderson, who played Carol Brady, the Brady family's matriarch. Williams, who was in his late teens at the time, even mustered up the courage to ask Henderson out on what he considered a date. He shared how they went to see a singer perform at a nightclub near Beverly Hills, and while Henderson may not have considered it a romantic outing, for Williams, it certainly felt that way.

“I had a teenage crush on her, for sure,” Williams admitted. He also revealed that Henderson’s lively personality and sense of humor made their interactions enjoyable. He took the opportunity to ask her about balancing music and acting, as he was keen on incorporating music into his career.

The Memorable "Date" at the Copacabana

Recalling their night out, Williams said, “I found this singer performing at the Copacabana near Beverly Hills, and I invited her to go together.” Though the two were recognized by onlookers during the night, they remained focused on the performance and had an in-depth conversation about the music industry.

For Williams, the highlight of the evening came at the end, when he went in for a kiss, which Henderson kindly reciprocated. “It was a nice little peck,” he noted, reminiscing about the moment fondly.

Growing Up in the Spotlight

Williams’ time on The Brady Bunch spanned his formative years, from the ages of 14 to 20. He discussed how being on the show during those pivotal years had its challenges, as both he and his co-stars went through noticeable physical changes. He mentioned that viewers could see their voices deepening and their appearances evolving as they matured. “There were a lot of changes,” he recalled, acknowledging the sometimes awkward nature of growing up in front of millions of viewers.

Despite these changes, Williams maintained that the experience was rewarding overall. “It was sometimes awkward and sometimes fun,” he said, “but I’ve always enjoyed people watching the show.”

Impact of Brady Bunch Fame

In addition to the relationships and teenage experiences, Williams reflected on the long-lasting impact of the fame he gained from being on "The Brady Bunch." Speaking on an Australian talk show in 2021, Williams said that living through his teenage years in the spotlight was “very intense.” Navigating fame at such a young age brought unique challenges, but it also offered opportunities for personal growth and reflection.

He shared how the fame from The Brady Bunch remained with him long after the show concluded, as it became a cultural touchstone for generations of viewers. The show ran on ABC for five seasons from 1969 to 1974 and led to multiple spin-offs and reunions that kept the Brady legacy alive.

Lasting Bond Between Co-Stars

Although the romantic relationships among the cast were fleeting, the bond they developed while working together endured long after the show ended. Williams' anecdotes reveal a deeper connection between the actors, forged during their years of growing up together on set.

His reflections on these relationships, particularly his admiration for Henderson, provide a unique glimpse into the personal dynamics that viewers rarely saw. Williams’ candidness highlights the human side of child stardom and the connections that often form behind the scenes of beloved television shows.
