Meet David Jessop, Robyn Brown Ex
David Jessop and Robyn Brown were married on June 8, 1999, when the bride was 22 years old, according to Ravalli Republic NewspaperShe opened up about her experiences with her first marriage in an April 2021 episode. She said in the episode, “I’ve been married before, and in that marriage, there were a lot of fights and heartaches.”
“I made a promise to myself when I got out of my divorce, I said to myself, ‘If I ever get married again, I’m going to be more cautious and careful.’” Robyn also compared her current marriage to her current husband Kody. “Let’s just say I rarely argue with him,” Robyn explained in her confessional. “I can probably name five real arguments in the last 10, 11 years that we’ve been together. Maybe five real arguments. Maybe not even that.”
The marriage lasted eight years, and they had three children together, Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna, during that time. “To be clear, I do not condone bullying of my children,” she tweeted at the time of the episode. “I ended my first marriage because of abuse. My children ALWAYS come first.”
Robyn said that throughout her marriage, she suffered various forms of abuse; financial abuse (putting her in debt, not buying a crib, not providing child support), emotional abuse, and even sexual and physical abuse.
Robyn also accused her husband of not seeing their children or paying child support. She explained the reasons for their divorce in the Brown family’s memoir, Becoming Sister Wives- The Story of an Unconventional Marriage.
“I tried my best to make the marriage work, for our own sake and for the sake of the three children my ex-husband and I had together. But what started as unstable disintegrated into something destructive. After seven and a half years of marriage, we separated. A year and a half later, we were divorced,” Robyn wrote. “Both my marriage and its demise were incredibly difficult for me. I endured a lot of pain and hardship. I was treated badly and cheated on by my ex-husband. Even though I knew he was the source of so much of my pain, part of me still believed that I was a failure because I couldn’t make the relationship work.”
After her divorce, Robyn met Kody Brown at a church dance and they began dating. Kody and Robyn were spiritually married on May 22, 2010. Meri Brown later approved Kody’s divorce so that he could officially marry Robyn and then seek to adopt Robyn’s children. Kody and Robyn were legally married on December 11, 2014.
Is David Jessop related to Kody Brown?
In 2018, when David Jessop was arrested and his mugshot was released, Robyn’s first marriage made headlines again. People noted that her first husband, David, bore a striking resemblance to her current husband, Cody Brown. So the question is, are they related?
Turns out, yes, they are. The two men Robyn married share a family gene. In fact, one Redditor commented that they discovered that David and Kody are third cousins. Fans of the show joked that Robyn keeps it in the family. Plus, Mormons are often related due to their small ancestral pool.
The commenter also shared that Kody is related to his ex-wife Christine as they are first cousins. They are related through their great-grandparents.
Where is David Jessop now?
It appears that David Jessop currently resides in Pinesdale, Montana. What he has been doing lately and whether he is currently married to anyone is still unknown.
The only time David made headlines was in 2018 when he was arrested for assault. Court papers obtained from the Hamilton Municipal Court in Montana show that Jessop was arrested on January 12, 2018, for assault on a spouse or family member causing bodily injury. He was released four days later on January 16, 2018.
David pleaded not guilty and the charge was amended to disorderly conduct on August 31, 2018. He was ordered to pay a fine.
