Robin opened up about her journey on the Wrestle Zone Radio Podcast in 2016.  “I was not on the road with my Dad. If anything, he had me as far away from that industry as possible,” she recollected. “We unfortunately did not have that great of a relationship. Mostly because he was on the road so much. I think it came to like 298 days out of the year in his prime.” Because her dad was so away much, Robin never really spent quality time with him. Plus, the fact that her mom and the wrestler didn’t get along made things trickier for the family.

However, Robin mentioned that Andre tried to be a part of her life despite the challenges and paid for Robin’s expenses in the form of child support. “He never tried to exclude us in any way. We always had a phone number where we could reach him and that sort of thing,” Robin said. She spent a lot of time learning about her father after his death in 1993 –- approaching his former colleagues and peers and engaging in conversations, which seems to have led to a degree of peace.
