SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: Amid a shroud of mystery, little is known about Alexiana Cosby, the wife of Robert Cosby.

The duo reportedly tied the knot in secret in 2022, a clandestine affair that occurred without the knowledge of Robert's mom and 'RHOLC' star Mary Cosby.

Rumors swirled regarding the couple sharing Mary's residence, prompting astonishment at Mary's alleged ignorance of her son's secret marriage, leaving many in disbelief.

Speculations swiftly arose, linking Alexiana to an incident involving Mary's legal entanglement concerning a minor in 2021.

However, as of now, no official confirmation has emerged, and the connection between the events remains a mere speculation on the internet. 

Adding to the intrigue, Mary confronted her son after rumors surfaced about his wedding.

In response, the 20-year-old gave a puzzling answer, confessing to his mother that he was "maybe" married, to which Mary responded, stating that she was unsure if her son was ready to "man up" as yet for marriage. 

‘RHOSLC’ star Mary Cosby’s son Robert Jr caught using drugs

Robert Cosby Jr, son of 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' personality Mary Cosby, created a stir on social media after flaunting various substances, including marijuana, prescription codeine syrup, and unidentified pills, alongside his wife, Alexiana Cosby.

In a series of concerning images, Robert Jr was seen with what appeared to be Oxycodone pills on his tongue, along with what seemed to be substantial quantities of marijuana and prescription purple syrup, commonly associated with the concoction "purple drank."

The controversy unfolded after Mary Cosby mentioned that she doesn't monitor the couple's activities closely, stating, "we kind of have our own wings."

Despite both Robert Jr and Alexiana shutting down their social media accounts, screenshots of the posts continued to circulate, amplifying the controversy.

‘RHOSLC’ star Mary Cosby faced criminal charges in 2021

Amid legal turmoil, charges against Robert Cosby Jr and his mother, Mary Cosby of 'Real Housewives' fame, were dismissed after facing two misdemeanor charges each.

The allegations, involving unlawfully providing shelter to a runaway and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, were dropped by the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office due to insufficient evidence, preventing the case from going to trial.

According to statements provided to FOX 13 in 2021, her son's legal representative shed light on the case, highlighting that the charges stemmed from a misunderstanding involving his girlfriend and her mother.

Robert's attorney, Clayton Simms, emphasized that while the charges may sound alarming, the actual circumstances were far from sinister, painting a different perspective on the situation.

The legal saga continued as the charges against Mary Cosby faced dismissal in court, overseen by Judge Katherine Peters.

Why did ‘RHOSLC’ star Mary Cosby marry her step-grandfather?

Back in 1997, a significant inheritance awaited Mary after her grandmother, Rosemary, passed away.

To inherit millions of dollars, family businesses, and control of their Pentecostal megachurch, there was an unusual condition: she had to marry her step-grandfather, Bishop Robert C Cosby Sr, who had been wed to her grandmother.

Mary revealed that her grandmother desired her to assume her role, overseeing not only the church's affairs but also marrying her second husband.

This unique arrangement was formed when Mary was in her early 20s and Robert in his 40s. Mary currently resides in Utah alongside her husband, Robert Cosby Sr and their son, Robert Cosby Jr.
