Dougie Payne

In November 2007, it was announced on the Travisonline message board that Payne was to become a father for the first time, making him the last member of Travis to do so. Freddie Peter Payne, his son with Macdonald, was born on 9 March 2008. Their second son, Theodore William, was born on 8 December 2012.

Payne was married to actress Kelly MacDonald in 2003. They separated in 2017.

Douglas "Dougie" Payne Jr. (born 14 November 1972, Glasgow, Scotland) is the bassist and backing vocalist of the Scottish band Travis.

Payne was born in the south side of Glasgow, and was educated at Woodfarm High School. He was also a member of the local 28th Glasgow (Giffnock) Scout Group in his youth. He went on to become a student at the Glasgow School of Art, where he met the band's singer, Fran Healy. They teamed up to form Glass Onion (named after a Beatles' song), later renaming themselves Travis. Originally Payne was not part of Glass Onion, which featured two other members, but when they left he was asked to play for the band. At the time of being asked, Payne had never touched a bass guitar in his life; for weeks he refused to do it, until finally he agreed.
