Robin Gibb, one-third of the legendary Bee Gees, was not only a global music icon but also a man whose private life was fraught with complexity and heartbreak. His wife, Dwina Gibb, recently spoke out, unveiling the dramatic and painful truths behind their marriage, shedding light on love, betrayal, and resilience.
Robin’s life was deeply intertwined with music and family, a combination he described as inseparable. “It’s what you dream about. I don’t know anything else,” he once said. Yet, beneath the glamorous surface of fame lay a relationship tested by secret infidelities and emotional turmoil.
Married since 1985, Robin and Dwina’s bond was far from ordinary. Dwina, a poet and artist passionate about Druidism, described their marriage as infused with art, spirituality, and intellectual curiosity. But the couple’s idyllic life shattered when Robin’s affair with their live-in housekeeper, Clare Yang, emerged.
The affair took an explosive turn when Clare gave birth to Robin’s daughter, Snow Evelyn Robin Juliet Gibb, in 2008, a revelation that Dwina described as “like a dagger.” Despite their “open marriage,” the betrayal crossed emotional boundaries, devastating Dwina but not breaking their union.
“It hurt. It was the betrayal,” Dwina confessed. Yet she chose forgiveness and resilience over separation, staying with Robin through pain and complexity. “We had freedom in our marriage, but I didn’t expect that level of freedom,” she admitted. Robin acknowledged his mistakes but remained close to Dwina until his final days.
Clare Yang, part of their household for years, quietly altered the family dynamic. Robin provided for Clare and Snow, securing a home and financial support, even including Snow in his will. Although they were absent in his final moments, Robin’s care extended beyond his established family.
Despite the storm, Dwina fiercely defended Robin’s humanity, stating, “He made mistakes, but he was my heart.”
Behind the music was a man of contradictions: a devoted father to four children from different relationships, a spiritual seeker, and a complex husband. He and Dwina raised their son, R.J. Gibb, in a creative and unconventional household at Prebendal House, a former monastery filled with poetry, music, and free spirits.
Dwina described her love as fierce and layered, unable to walk away despite the pain. As Robin battled colon and liver cancer, she was his steadfast caregiver, helping him face his mortality with dignity. His funeral at St. Mary’s Church in Oxfordshire was a poignant farewell to a life marked by brilliance and contradiction.
Their son, R.J. Gibb, continues to honor his father’s musical legacy while carving his own path. He collaborated with Robin on major projects, such as the Titanic Requiem, and carries the weight of family secrets with quiet strength.
Dwina revealed the challenge of telling R.J. about Snow’s existence, describing it as “one of the hardest moments of her life,” yet emphasizing the necessity of honesty.
Robin Gibb was a man imperfect yet profound—an artist, a father, a husband, and a spiritual soul whose story is less a fairytale and more a gripping ballad of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and enduring human complexity. At the heart of it all lies a simple but powerful truth: choosing love, even when it hurts.
