Robin Gibb’s Secret Daughter: The Scandal That Shook the Bee Gees Family
When Robin Gibb, one-third of the legendary Bee Gees, passed away in May 2012 at the age of 62, the world remembered him as the haunting voice behind hits like Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, and I Started a Joke. But beyond the music, Gibb left behind a personal controversy that cast a shadow over his final years.
In 2008, British tabloids revealed that Robin, still married to his wife of more than two decades, Dwina Murphy Gibb, had fathered a daughter with Clare Yang, the family’s housekeeper. The child, named Snow Evelyn Robin Juliet Gibb, was born in November of that year.
The revelation stunned fans and strained the Gibb family. Robin and Dwina had often described their marriage as “open,” but the arrival of a child tested its limits. Though Dwina remained publicly composed and ultimately stayed by Robin’s side, friends said the betrayal left deep scars.
Robin did not deny Snow’s existence. Reports suggested he established a trust fund to secure her future, though neither the family nor Yang ever spoke publicly about the matter. Robin’s adult children from his first marriage, Spencer and Melissa, suddenly had a young half-sister, but the family maintained silence and avoided public comment.
As Robin’s health declined in the early 2010s, the scandal faded from headlines, though it remained unresolved within the family. He died in May 2012, with Dwina at his side. At his funeral, tributes focused on his music and legacy, but Snow’s presence—acknowledged yet never publicly embraced—remained a quiet reminder of the family’s private fractures.
More than a decade later, Snow Gibb has remained out of the spotlight, raised privately by her mother. No interviews, photos, or public statements have emerged. For many fans, her existence is a little-known footnote in the Bee Gees’ history—an enduring reminder that even legends carried secrets beyond the stage.
