Terri's Secret Brother

Despite various family dramas, Terri Irwin has a famously close bond with her two children, Bindi and Robert, and her sister Bonnie.

But now it appears that Terri could have a secret brother to add into the fold! Recently unearthed documents suggest the conservationist’s father, Clarence Raines, had a son – although it’s not known whether he grew up with his possible siblings or has ever had any kind of relationship with them.

Local Oregon newspaper The Register-Guard announced Clarence’s death of age-related causes at 86 years in June 2008. In the notice it is revealed that Terri’s father attended Oregon University before serving in the Navy, joining the Eugene Police Department and then establishing his own long-haul trucking business.
