The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby’s son, Robert Cosby, and his ex-wife, Alexiana Smokoff, have finalized their divorce, Us Weekly can exclusively report.
On January 14, a hearing was held in the divorce brought by Smokoff against Robert, who remains behind bars over alleged assault and trespassing accusations. Robert did not appear in court.
The court granted Smokoff a default divorce decree. The docs state the exes did not have children or any marital property. The settlement states that both parties are capable of earning money and neither will be awarded alimony.
The divorce deal has a provision regarding a restraining order prohibiting Robert from physically abusing or threatening his ex-wife. In addition, he cannot harass, threaten or show up at her home.
The judge also ordered Robert to pay Smokoff’s legal fees associated with the divorce.

As Us previously reported, Smokoff filed for divorce on November 24, 2025, in Utah court. The exes reportedly wed in August 2022.
Robert’s lawyer Clayton Simms told People about the divorce, “Understanding and recognizing the relationship was difficult for Robert based on his religion and background. To him, marriage is sacred and forever.”
His lawyer added, “His parents were his example and they’ve been married for 27 years. Robert was slow to recognize and accept his marriage was over and continued to connect with his soon-to-be ex-wife. Robert has accepted responsibility for his mistakes and has pleaded guilty to several misdemeanors.”
In November 2025, Robert pleaded guilty to trespassing and assault following a series of incidents with his ex-wife and her father. He was also accused of violating a protective order. Prosecutors dropped several other charges, per a deal. The court declined to release Robert from jail and ordered him to remain behind bars until his sentencing in February.

On September 5, 2025, Robert was arrested after an incident at his ex’s home, where they were living with her parents. Per police, Robert refused to leave the home despite being told to by the family. “The arrested person has previously been notified by both his wife and the owner of the home that he was not welcome at the residence; both individuals showed me text message conversations which indicated he was not allowed in the home, which the arrested person had responded to in acknowledgment,” per official documents. Smokoff’s family claimed Robert entered the home through a dog door and then went into Smokoff’s bedroom, “causing her to fear for her safety, where he remained despite him being asked to leave.”
“As the arrested person entered into a dwelling despite being told he was not welcome in the residence and remained inside of said dwelling which caused his wife to fear for her safety, he was placed under arrest for criminal trespass of a dwelling, with a domestic violence enhancement,” an officer wrote.
