'Sister Wives' star Robyn Brown's biological father shares eerie similarities with Kody Brown
FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA: 'Sister Wives' Season 19 star Robyn Brown's biological father, Robert Marck, has never been involved in her life. The reality star was just nine years old when he divorced her mother, Alice Sullivan. While her mother remarried Paul Sullivan, who played a fatherly role and even attended Robyn's wedding to Kody Brown, she still felt the void left by her biological dad.
Robyn tried to seek answers from his father for his absence in her life but he responded with lame excuses. Despite having a supportive stepdad, Robyn longed for her father's presence and found it hard to watch Kody replicate that distance with his own children. The TLC show viewers have definitely noted striking similarities between Robyn's biological father and Kody, as both men were absent from their children's lives and failed to take accountability for their actions. Kody, like Robyn's father, has chosen to distance himself from his kids in favor of another relationship, leaving a void that echoes Robyn's own experiences.
