In March 2024, Shawn told PEOPLE that the couple hadn’t completely ruled out expanding their family again.

In March 2025, Mahaley celebrated her and Ravi’s 11th wedding anniversary by posting a carousel of photos of their family.

“We stood at the edge of the desert, with our family and friends as witness.

After three of Kody’s marriages ended, Robyn opened up to PEOPLE in November 2023 about how she “really, really struggled” with the idea of a monogamous relationship.

“I don’t know what to do with it. It’s messing with my identity,” she said. “It’s not the future I wanted. I want that house with us on the porch in the rocking chairs with our grandkids and our kids around us. You know, the grandparent ranch. That’s what I want.”
