Near the end of 1982 Robin made a move that would effect his personal life. His marriage to Molly was over and he felt lost and alone. So he hired a personal assistant, Ken Graydon, who was a former policeman. Ken had a cousin, Edwina Elizabeth Murphy, or Dwina, born December 22, 1952 in Northern Ireland. Who was an artist and writer. Robin had been interested in meeting the actress Sarah Miles. Ken mentioned it to his cousin Dwina, who happened to be friends with Sarah. When Dwina gave him Sarah’s phone number a date for dinner was arranged. During the dinner Robin noticed a pen and ink drawing that interested him. Sarah told Robin who had done it and he ended up hiring Dwina to do some drawings for him. As they spent time together, as she was doing the drawings, they found they shared an interest in art. That they were both unconventional and they both were born on December 22. As Dwina worked on the drawings she kept adding details to them. She did not what to finish them fearing she would not see Robin again once they were completed. As of today though Robin had paid her, the drawings are still not finished. Robin was looking for a new place to live and Dwina adviced him to buy a small cottage. Before long they were sharing the cottage. On January 21, 1983 Robin and Dwina’s son Robin-John Gibb was born. And on July 31, 1985 in Wheatly Robin and Dwina were married. A year later they celebrated their wedding with a Gypsy party at their Oxfordshire home.

Who could have known when Robin hired a personal assistant that he would find love again.
