Robyn Brown became Kody's fourth wife in 2010.

We enjoyed many years together and I have a large amount of respect and admiration for her.
Although we are moving forward on different paths, we will always remain committed parents.»Fans of the TLC reality series know that the rift between Kody and Christine has been growing wider and wider in recent seasons, but a variety of factors led to the pair eventually ending their marriage.
