Sean’s birthday follows Robin marking the first anniversary of her second husband’s death in September, who died of liver cancer in 2019. His death came five years after her first husband, Tony Smart, took his own life in September 2014.
Robin only returned to the airwaves in January 2020, joining the Australian Radio Network’s (ARN) 97.3 FM’s breakfast show.
It is the first she has worked since resigning from Triple M Brisbane in September to spend more time with late spouse.
