Meet Rob Winebrenner, Robin Swoboda’s Boyfriend
Rob Winebrenner and Robin Swoboda went public with their relationship on October 7, 2021.
In an interview with WKYC, Robin said when she first met Rob, she thought he was handsome and he flirted with her. Then he asked Robin out. She replied that she was chubby, had white hair, was over 60 and had cancer. And instead asked him if he wanted to go out with her?
After hearing all that, even though this might be objectionable to some others, he still agreed to go out with her.
The more Rob talked to her, the more he wanted to hear her story and what she was going through. Her story was as interesting as Robin herself.
On their third date, Rob may have saved Robin’s life. He took Robin to University Hospital after she had a dangerous reaction to her first round of chemotherapy. She was in the ICU for three days. Robin couldn’t stop praising him. “He’s seen me at my worst,” she shared. “I mean, he’s taken me to the ER, he knows my weight, he knows my sodium, he’s seen it all and he keeps coming back. It’s crazy.”
Robin laughed as she told WKYC that she wished she had someone in her life when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. And by the looks of it, Rob and Robin are definitely inseparable. “I’ve been waiting for him my whole life,” Robin exclaimed.
