Marriage, divorce and reality-show storylines
Robert Cosby Jr. ’s death comes months after his estranged wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce following three years of marriage. The couple reportedly married in a Utah courthouse in August 2022, a secret wedding that later played out on camera during Season 4 of the reality series in which Mary Cosby has appeared. Robert and Smokoff’s alleged drug use was featured as a storyline in Season 6 of the series, which was filmed in early 2025.
Struggles with recovery and legal troubles
On-camera moments captured Robert describing his recovery as stalled after completing a 30-day rehab program; he said he was not in the darkest place but that the darkness remained. Later in that season his relapse was revealed after a November arrest for allegedly violating a restraining order filed by Smokoff’s family. Mary described aspects of that episode as showing delusional behavior on his part.
Prior arrests, convictions and recent custody of freedom
Robert had a documented history of legal issues. He was arrested in Utah in September on allegations that included trespassing and assault. He was also arrested for DUI in 2022, at which time officers noted he did not have a license and disobeyed traffic laws; he ultimately pleaded guilty to the DUI. Court and custodial records indicate he was released from prison in February. The precise circumstances linking these legal episodes to the events surrounding his death are unclear in the provided context.
Initial public reports first broke the news in the hours after his death and emergency records became available. Details in the emergency audio and the family’s statement have clarified the immediate response and the family’s grief; the official investigation remains ongoing and the cause of death is unclear in the provided context.
