Sister Wives fans are curious to learn about Robyn Brown's first husband. The fourth wife of Kody Brown was once married to a man named David Jessop. With all the turmoil going on within the family, fans are curious about Robyn's first marriage and want to learn exactly what went down.

Many think Robyn is Kody's favorite spouse. She came into the large family as the fourth wife, but the patriarch does not try to hide how much he truly loves her. Originally fans liked Robyn, who meshed well with her fellow sister wives. She often sided with Meri, and the two seemed very close. But after Meri's catfishing incident, there was a wedge driven between them. The youngest and the newest bride has the most control over Kody and his decision-making skills. The patriarch stayed in isolation the entire time with Robyn causing viewers to become concerned for the other wives. Even though Meri, Christine, and Janelle all seem to be struggling, Robyn is happily settled in her new life in Flagstaff.

Sister Wives viewers will remember the episode where Robyn officially joined the family in 2010. But before her brown and Autumn themed wedding, she was married to David in 1999. Sadly The Sun reported that they divorced in 2007 after having three children, Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna. TLC viewers are well aware that Robyn rarely talks about her first relationship. Kody has since adopted all of Robyn's biological children, so what happened? In an episode of Sister Wives that aired in 2013, the mother of five told cameras that when Robyn found out she was pregnant, she was devastated, saying, "I was trying so hard to love my husband at the time."

Viewers who stuck with the storyline know that once Robyn joined the Brown clan, David eventually gave up his rights to his children. The children have all legally changed their last name to Brown, and the oldest son had his legal first name changed from David to Dayton. It doesn't seem like there was much love lost between the couple or his children. According to E! NewsRobyn revealed in a tweet during an episode back in 2011 that her husband abused her, saying, "Just to clarify, I do not tolerate my kids getting bullied. I ended my first marriage because of abuse. My kids come first ALWAYS." Robyn's ex-husband David was arrested back in 2018 according to a report on Public Police Records for family member assault. David was released four days later with no bond, and the charge was changed to disorderly conduct.

Robyn never explained what made her marry David in the first place, but Sister Wives fans are happy to see she was able to leave the marriage and find happiness elsewhere.  While the Brown family still has a lot to work on, it puts fans' minds at ease knowing Robyn is safer with Kody.
