American entrepreneur and author Robin McGraw (née Jameson) is widely recognized as the wife of TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw. Raised in Oklahoma, she married Phil in 1976, and the couple has two children. Beyond her family life, Robin is a two-time New York Times bestselling author and a frequent face on television, appearing on programs like The Talk, Rachael Ray, and her husband’s self-titled show. She is also the founder of the skincare brand Robin McGraw Revelation and remains deeply committed to philanthropic work.
Early Life and Family Roots
Born Robin Jameson on December 28, 1953, in Los Angeles, Robin was raised in a large, close-knit family in Oklahoma. She grew up alongside her twin brother, Roger, and three sisters (Cindi, Jamie, and Karin). She completed her early education at Emerson Elementary and graduated from Duncan High School.
The McGraw Partnership
Robin’s life changed significantly in the mid-1970s when she met Phillip Calvin McGraw (Dr. Phil). At the time, Phil was pursuing his advanced degrees in psychology and was in the process of annulling his first marriage to Debbie Higgins McCall.
The couple married on August 14, 1976, and moved through several career milestones together—from Phil’s private practice with his father to the founding of Courtroom Sciences, Inc. (the firm that eventually led to his meeting with Oprah Winfrey). Today, the couple resides in Beverly Hills and has two sons:
Jay McGraw (born 1979)
Jordan McGraw (born 1986)
Television Presence and Literary Success
Robin has been a staple of the Dr. Phil show since its 2002 premiere, often sharing her perspectives on marriage, family, and women’s issues. Beyond her husband’s platform, she has guest-hosted The Talk and appeared frequently on Entertainment Tonight and The Rachael Ray Show.
As an author, she is a two-time New York Times bestseller. Her notable works include:
“Inside My Heart” (2006): An exploration of her Christian faith and personal purpose.
“From My Heart to Yours” (2007): A book of inspiration for women.
“What’s Age Got to Do With It?” (2009): A guide to her personal path to success and aging gracefully.
Entrepreneurship and Advocacy
In 2014, she launched the Robin McGraw Revelation Lifestyle Brand, which expanded into a luxury skincare collection in 2016. Her business success is matched by her commitment to philanthropy:
