Robin Gibb, one-third of the legendary Bee Gees, was celebrated worldwide as the haunting voice behind timeless hits such as Massachusetts, To Love Somebody, and I Started a Joke. Yet, beyond his musical genius, a hidden scandal emerged during his final years that left an indelible mark on the family and fans alike.
In 2008, shocking revelations hit the headlines when British tabloids exposed that Robin, though still married to his wife of over two decades, Dwina Murphy Gibb, had secretly fathered a daughter with the family’s housekeeper, Clare Yang. This clandestine child, named Snow Evelyn Robin Juliet Gibb, was born in November of that same year, throwing the private life of the iconic musician into turmoil.
The disclosure stunned loyal fans and inflicted serious tension within the Gibb family. Robin and Dwina had publicly described their marriage as “open,” but the birth of Snow profoundly tested the boundaries of their relationship. Despite the shock, Dwina maintained a public front of composure and steadfastly remained at Robin’s side, although those close to the family revealed the betrayal deeply wounded her.
Robin never denied the existence of Snow. Credible reports indicated that he had taken steps to establish a trust fund to secure her future, but neither his family nor Clare Yang chose to discuss the situation publicly. This left Robin’s adult children from his first marriage, Spencer and Melissa, with an unexpected young half-sister. Yet, the Gibb family collectively chose silence, avoiding any public acknowledgment or comment on the matter.
As Robin’s health deteriorated in the early 2010s, media interest in the scandal gradually waned, yet the issue remained unresolved behind closed doors. Robin Gibb passed away in May 2012, with Dwina by his side during his final moments. At his funeral, tributes celebrated his incredible musical legacy, but Snow’s quiet presence—acknowledged in whispers but never publicly embraced—served as a subtle testament to the hidden fractures within this legendary family.
More than a decade later, Snow Gibb continues to live away from public scrutiny, raised privately by her mother Clare Yang. No interviews, photographs, or statements have emerged to shed light on her life. For devoted fans, Snow remains a little-known and poignant footnote in the Bee Gees’ storied history — a haunting reminder that even the brightest stars conceal shadows beyond their dazzling stage lights.
