Steve Irwin’s ‘hot niece’ Rebecca Lobie goes missing: Irwin family member vanishes from public eye after she quits adult content career and deletes her Instagram – amid rumours she has left her husband Mick

Rebecca Lobie, the ‘hot niece’ of the late, great Steve Irwin, appears to have gone missing.

Bindi Irwin’s 35-year-old cousin has disappeared from the public eye after deleting her Instagram account and quitting her career in adult content.

Rumors have also been swirling since March that she left her husband Mick Lobie with whom she shares two young sons, although he denies these claims.

Rebecca initially shocked fans in January last year when she appeared to hang up her heels for good, despite being one of Australia’s most high-profile adult models.

The blonde beauty quietly deleted her raunchy Instagram account and deactivated her subscription-based adult website, without explanation.

Rebecca stopped posting content on her website two months earlier and the homepage stated that she was no longer accepting payments.

The website has now been completely removed and the domain name is once again up for grabs.

The mother-of-two was later spotted on Instagram in a family photo her husband Mick posted on November 14, 2023.

It was the last time she appeared on Mick’s page, and it is now rumored that the pair have split, despite his claims that they are still together.

Two months later, Rebecca was a guest at the Australia Day party hosted by tobacco magnate Travers ‘The Candyman’ Beynon at his Gold Coast mansion.

She was one of dozens of scantily clad women at the party and was seen wearing a barely-there white swimsuit. It is unclear whether her husband was also present.

Around this time, she briefly reactivated her Instagram account and posted a photo of herself in a thong swimsuit, standing in front of a green Holden Gemini.

Her legs framed the car’s license plate, which read “lube up.”

Rebecca later deleted her Instagram account again.

The Lobies seemed to have an ideal marriage until a few months ago, with Mick appearing to support his wife’s career as an adult entertainer.

He regularly took raunchy photos of her for her Instagram account and subscription-based adult website, both of which are no longer active.

However, it is now rumored that the late Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin’s niece has split from her husband Mick – and all signs point to a messy split.

Rebecca, who shot to fame in 2019 thanks to her racy social media photos that contradicted the Irwins’ wholesome public image, is said to have called time on her 16-year marriage a few months ago.

The cracks started to appear earlier this year when mechanic Mick shared a series of alarming messages on Instagram suggesting his wife had left him.

One message read: ‘If I’m constantly being 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 was gone.’

Mick then shared another message asking Rebecca to return to the family for the sake of their two sons. The full text of this message cannot be published for legal reasons.

He later posted a series of screenshots after one of his friends reached out to him via Instagram Messenger to ask if he was okay.

The friend asked: “You okay bro,” prompting Mick to reply: “F**k off ya dog.”

When the friend asked what Mick meant by this, he accused the other man of talking ‘s**t’ about his family and leaving flirty emojis on Rebecca’s photos.

The friend later said it was ‘not cool’ to post screenshots of their conversation, but Mick simply replied: ‘F**k you.’

After weeks of silence on social media, Mick returned to Instagram on Thursday to share a worrying post about being a “shell of his former self.”

He uploaded a photo of his own long shadow over a patch of grass and wrote in the caption: ‘This isn’t a cry for help, but it really couldn’t be more accurate.

“I can’t thank all my legendary friends enough!”

Mick added the relevant hashtags #SurroundedByTheBest, #ButFeelingEmpty, #NothingOnTheInside and #JustAShellOfMyFormerSelf.

Several friends offered their support in the comments section, with one writing: ‘Always here for you mate. Just call and I’ll be there.’

Another said, “It’s the beginning of your new and better self, brother. We all got you, buddy.”

When contacted by Daily Mail Australia at the time, Mick denied the report hinted at a split from Rebecca, but declined to comment when asked if his marriage was intact.

‘I didn’t hint at anything like that. You guys are ridiculous,” he said.

Rebecca was also contacted for comment but did not respond.

Rebecca, the daughter of Steve Irwin’s sister Joy and her husband Frank Muscillo, rose to fame in September 2019 when her racy photos on social media caught the media’s attention.

Before leaving the family business, she ran the Australia Zoo restaurants.

Eager to cash in on her newfound fame, the Sunshine Coast resident launched her own subscription-based adult website in July 2021.

The blonde bombshell previously charged AUD$6.80 (US$4.99) for the first month’s subscription to her website, and AUD$13.61 (US$9.99) thereafter.

For an additional AUD$74.92 (US$55), fans could purchase a ‘fully nude’ video.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia in July 2021, she explained that her website was similar to OnlyFans, but she could maintain “more control” over her branding.

“Having another platform to share my content is something I’ve wanted to do for a while and it’s always been a big request from people,” she said.

“I love creating content and engaging with my fans, and this is another way I can do that.”

She said of her decision to shun OnlyFans: “It has the same characteristics, if not more. I’ll be posting exclusive content, chatting with fans and going live.”
