Robyn is a mother of five children, three of whom are from her first marriage to David Jessop.

She had her youngest in January 2000, son David, when she was 20, and the couple went on to have two daughters, Aurora in 2002 and Breanna in 2005.

They had married in June 1999, before divorcing in 2007.

Once Robyn joined the Sister Wives family, Jessop allegedly stopped seeing his children and terminated his parental rights.

Sister Wives patriarch Kody divorced Meri to marry Robyn and he adopted all three of Jessop’s biological children.

They changed their last name to Brown; eldest son David also changed his first name to Dayton.

The children have no contact with Jessop since their adoption was finalized.
