Her husband, George Merrill, was the other half of Boy Meets Girl, best known for their 1988 hit "Waiting for a Star to Fall".[1][2] Merrill and Rubicam first met in 1975 when both were performing at a friend's wedding.[3] The couple also wrote two hit songs for Whitney Houston, "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)",[3] both of which hit Number 1 in the United States, among other countries, during the second half of the 1980s, just before Boy Meets Girl shot to fame.

Merrill and Rubicam have one child, a daughter named Hilary,[3] who appeared in their "Waiting for a Star to Fall" video as the young blonde-haired girl. They divorced in 2000 but have continued working together for various music projects.[4][5]

In 2011, Rubicam published her first novel, titled The Wonderground.
