Debbie Gibson shared a personal tribute honoring her mom, Diane Gibson. The video shows the singer smiling gently as music plays in the background, surrounded by framed gold and platinum records from her career, a visual reminder of the life and work her mother helped support.
Referencing the song playing in the video, Gibson wrote, “I Never Knew Love Like This Before,” before adding, “’cuz there is no love like a mother’s love.” She described the post as “a celebration of love and music in honour of my Mom,” before raising a toast to Diane and writing, “if you only knew. And you will… soon.”
The song playing in the video, “I Never Knew Love Like This Before” by Stephanie Mills, clearly informs the moment. Released in 1980, the track’s lyrics mirror the sentiment Gibson expressed in her caption, reinforcing the post’s quiet emotional weight without spelling everything out.

Gibson also included a small but telling personal detail, noting that her mom “loved her ‘grand dogs.’” She ended the caption by explaining that she would share something followers could comment on later, but for now simply wanted to “share some joy in her honor.”

Diane Gibson died on January 23, 2022. Over the years, Debbie Gibson has spoken openly about how central her mother was to her life and career, particularly during her rise to fame in the late 1980s.
Diane was widely known as a steady and protective presence during her daughter’s early success, helping guide her through the pressures of the music industry at a young age. For fans who followed Gibson’s career from the beginning, her mother’s influence has long been understood as both personal and professional.
That history gives added meaning to the restraint of this post. Rather than a long statement or detailed reflection, Gibson chose a few carefully selected lines, a familiar song, and a single phrase, “if you only knew,” that suggests depth without explanation.
As she wrote in the caption, the video was simply meant to celebrate love, music, and a mother who remains present in memory. Sometimes, the most powerful tributes are the ones that leave space for what can’t be fully said.
