Shocking Cancer Revelation About Robyn Brown’s Ex, David Jessop: Is Time Running Out? And Why Won’t Robyn Let Him Meet Their Baby?
Who Is David Jessop, Sister Wives’ Robyn Brown’s Ex-Husband (And Kody’s Cousin)?
Throughout the years, there have been a multitude of characters introduced to audiences on the Sister Wives reality television series. Some people have come and gone, while others have stuck around for several seasons. At the very beginning of the show, a new wife was brought on board. This wife had previously been married and came to the Brown family with three children from that relationship.
Out of all the people that have come into the show, one that fans don’t hear about is the biological father of Robyn Brown’s oldest children and the husband of her first marriage. Who is this individual, and what role does he play within the family outside of being an ex-husband and father? Since Robyn has remarried, what has become of her first husband?
Updated September 2024: David Jessop has been battling cancer medication side-effects since early 2024. As of September, an update on his GoFundMe account shows that David may be faring better than he was earlier in the year.
‘Sister Wives’ Big Cancer Update On Robyn Brown’s Ex, David Jessop
Robyn Brown’s ex-husband is battling a very serious form of cancer. David Preston Jessop, commonly referred to as Preston by his family, has an active GoFundMe where his family members keep the public updated on his condition.
Although Robyn Brown and her children maintain that Preston is a horrible person, not every Sister Wives viewer is completely convinced. In fact, many fans have donated to his fundraiser and eagerly await updates on his health.
After Preston’s cancer battle took a bleak turn earlier in the year, it seems like there is a happier update to share.
Robyn Brown’s Ex-Husband Seems To Be Growing Stronger
One Redditor shared an update from the GoFundMe and expressed relief that Preston Jessop seemed to be in better health.
“I happened across David’s GFM again yesterday. I was happy to see that he is currently somewhat stable & doing well. He just updated about a week ago,” the OP wrote. “I know he was pretty sick when initially diagnosed, so it was good to see that his bloodwork/numbers look good, and the chemo regimen he is on seems to be doing its job.”
“Summer is always such a busy time that I just now realized I haven’t updated everyone on how Preston has been!” the update on GoFundMe reads. “He’s had 2 Dr appointments since I last wrote and both have been great! Numbers are good and has been told to keep with the chemo pill he’s on, which are hard on him but grateful that they’ve helped so much.
He’s been told he would have to keep on them for at least 3 more yrs in hopes to keep things in deep remission. They cause Preston quite a bit of pain so prayers are very much still needed. Also wanted to thank everyone so much for all the help, prayers and kind words that you’ve expressed! Every bit has helped! Love you all and are so grateful to have you with us on this journey.”
As of September 1, 2024, the fundraiser has reached nearly $14,000 out of its $15,000 goal.

Comments included:
- “This is awesome! Cancer is a beast. Hoping for more good news in the future for them!”
