Robyn Brown doesn’t really talk about her first marriage. So, who is her ex-husband and why is she so secretive about it?
Before Kody, Robyn was married for eight years to David Preston Jessop. She was only 21 when they got married. On the surface, David might just look like every other guy, but when you go deeper there are extremely dark secrets about him that would haunt anyone.
Robyn Was Afraid of David Preston Jessop
According to Robyn, her main reason for leaving David was because he was abusive toward her and their children. And that honestly explains a lot, because she did mention that early on in her marriage to David she felt devastated when she found out she was pregnant with their first child, Dayton.
Now, this had me wondering why would Robyn feel that scared after finding out that she was pregnant. I mean it’s not like she and David didn’t have the means to care for a child, and they were already married in the first place.
So what could have caused such a reaction from Robyn?
Robyn struggled to make her marriage with David work. A couple of years down the line, she has two more kids with David before finally calling it quits. But it didn’t take too long for Robyn to meet Kody and get married once again.

You would think that David would at least try and be supportive of Robyn’s new relationship since they’ve already been separated for like what…three years. However, David’s reaction to Robyn’s new marriage was far from supportive.
David apparently decided to stop seeing his children and then he terminated all his parental rights. Can you guys actually believe this? Rumor has it that he gave them up because of Robyn’s decision to appear on Sister Wives. But still, that doesn’t even make any sense.
I mean, what type of guy gives up his parental rights just because his ex-wife decided to move on with her life? Honestly, I believe that David never wanted to be a dad in the first place. Maybe this was actually something he had thought about doing for a while after he divorced Robyn, and then Kody came along and just made it much easier for him.
But I guess we’ll never know why he really did what he did because no one knows what really went on besides Robyn and David.
Robyn’s Ex Was Arrested for an Alleged Assault
David was arrested in 2018. And what he was arrested for really shocked everyone. I guess you could say that Robyn was lucky to get away from him when she could.
David was allegedly arrested for physically attacking someone, but the court papers didn’t really tell us who the person was.
All we know is that the person might have been a member of his family. It turns out that he had attacked this person and actually caused them physical injuries. He pleaded not guilty to his case in 2018 and was ordered to pay fines after his charge was changed from assault to disorderly conduct.
Now, I can’t even stop myself from wondering what exactly Robyn and all her children must have gone through while she was still married to David. The more I think about it, it honestly becomes sick and disturbing.
I mean, if David could do something so terrible to a family member, I guess we can only imagine what he’s capable of doing to a stranger and that is just totally creepy.
Even though Robyn succeeded in getting away from David just in time, she didn’t really end up getting too far from him. And what I’m about to say next is going to leave you very shocked.
Robyn’s Ex-Husband Is Related to Kody Brown
It turns out that Robyn ended up remarrying David’s cousin. Yes, you guys, Kody Brown is RELATED to David. Honestly, I was shocked out of my mind when I first found out about this. But then if you really sit down and think about it, it kind of makes sense.
David and Kody have a pretty striking resemblance. I mean if you place their pictures side by side you would literally think David and Kody are brothers and you wouldn’t be that far off the mark. It turns out that Kody is David’s third cousin.
And I know this might not make a lot of sense for many of us, but it is very common for Mormons in Utah to be related because they have a very small pool of ancestors. If this isn’t bizarre enough, then you’re in for a surprise.
Robyn and David’s connection goes beyond their children and David’s relationship with Kody. It turns out that David is also related to Christine!
David might be Kody’s third cousin, but he’s also Christine’s first cousin. This means that David is blood-related to Robyn’s other children. This is so crazy.
I guessed you could say that Robyn literally kept it within the family. The fact that Robyn and David are still connected to each other in one way is pretty insane.
