Gone girl? Irwin clan family member goes missing amid series of rumours

The Irwin family is widely famous for their wildlife conservation efforts and the larger-than-life legacy of the 'Crocodile Hunter', Steve Irwin.

Since then, the clan always had the media's attention.

After fake news about 'the end' of Robert Irwin's career circulated online, the family just faced another issue, sparking concern among their followers.


Online content creator Rebecca Lobie—often called Steve Irwin's 'hot niece'—vanished from the public eye.

Rebecca, who is the daughter of Steve Irwin's sister Joy and her husband Frank Muscillo, previously made headlines for her career—a stark contrast from the Irwins' family-friendly image.

The 35-year-old mum-of-two became a social media sensation, with her risqué photos garnering significant attention.

However, in an unexpected turn of events, Rebecca Lobie stepped back from the limelight.

She deleted social media accounts known for their provocative content and shut down her subscription-based website.

This abrupt digital disappearance came without explanation, leaving her followers wondering about the change.


The mysterious disappearance deepened as rumours about Rebecca's separation from her husband, Mick Lobie, which had been circulating since March.

The couple had an ideal marriage, with Mick often photographing Rebecca for her online platforms.

Despite Mick's denials earlier this year, his social media posts had cryptic messages and captions that hinted at their separation.

The situation escalated when Mick shared several alarming posts, including one that read, 'If I'm continually treated like I don't exist, then what's the point of continuing to push myself to be here because no one would even notice if I were gone.'

These posts have since raised eyebrows and concerns about their relationship.

Rebecca's last known public appearance was at an Australia Day party hosted by tobacco tycoon Travers' The Candyman' Beynon.

Clad in a revealing white swimsuit, she was among the many guests at the extravagant event. However, Mick was not seen present at the party.


Rebecca Lobie's disappearance from social media and the public has left many unanswered questions.

Was her decision to leave her career and remove her online presence influenced by personal issues, or is there another reason for her retreat?

The Irwin family has yet to comment on Rebecca's situation.

However, they keep their focus on wildlife conservation and the operations of Australia Zoo.

The contrast between Rebecca's previous online persona and the family's public image has always been stark.

For now, Rebecca is choosing to step away from the spotlight.

Totally agree 👍. Those that we know are so humble.
Around two years ago my son was out with a group of friends in Cronulla when a guy from no where king hit one of my sons friends. He went down and the guy started kicking into his head.
My son pulled him off and he then started on my son. My son belted the guy.
My son just tried protecting his friend. He tried calming the bloke down but didn't work.

Police arrived, arrested both my son and the dude who attacked the friend.
Sons friend was taken to hospital
My son went to court and was given a good behaviour bond and a huge fine.

My sons friend who was attacked plays for NSW cricket and his sad played for Australia.

His dad , the ex premier and ex cricket captain all wrote amazing character references and one helped to get him off lightly.

My son is an amazing young man, never in trouble but he told us all he would do it all again to protect someone, even a stranger.

How crazy is our law.

My sons friends dad offered to pay the fine and court cost. His lawyer alone was nearly $2000 but my son said no
So sad that even when you try to do good the law seems to catch up. This could be one reason people would rather not get involved. Not all heroes wear capes.

Certainly not an Irwin's fan - the lad has made the most of backing on his fathers name. As soon as he comes on TV, I change the station- he is a useless Aussie.
