Personal life

Joyce Tyan married Amine Gemayel in 1967, becoming part "of one of Lebanon's most prominent Christian political dynasties."[1] They have three children, Nicole, Pierre and Samy.

Pierre Gemayel was assassinated on 21 November 2006.[1] Images of Joyce Gemayel grieving her son were widely used in global media reports,[2] illustrating the "tears and cries of anger" of the mourners.[3] Subsequently, and alongside her husband,[4] Gemayel spoke out against politically motivated killings in Lebanon, and encouraged Christian Lebanese to be "united" in opposition to Syrian influence in the country.[5]
