Robert Jr., 23, recently finalized his divorce from his ex-wife, Alexiana Arian Smokoff, who was also granted a permanent no-contact order against him. His attorney, Clayton Simms, described Robert Jr.’s two-month stint in jail as a “blessing in disguise,” highlighting that it provided him with an opportunity to sober up and gain clarity.

“The time in jail helped him begin to see things clearly,” Simms explained to Page Six on February 4. “He’s now focused on making positive changes in his life. Initially, he struggled to accept the end of his marriage, but he now acknowledges it and is determined to move on.” Robert Jr., who is the son of Mary and her husband, Robert Cosby Sr., was released from jail on Tuesday.

As part of his release conditions, Robert Jr. has been sentenced to 24 months of probation. This includes completing 75 hours of community service, attending anger management and substance abuse classes. Additionally, the court has enforced a permanent no-contact order for Alexiana.

Following his release, Robert Jr. was sentenced to 24 months of probation, which includes 75 hours of community service, anger management classes, and substance abuse classes, and Alexiana was granted a permanent no-contact order.

As RHOSLC fans may recall, Robert Jr. was arrested on November 9, 2025, after showing up at Alexiana’s home, which violated a pretrial order. Before that, he was taken into custody for an apparent fight at the same home.

After Alexiana filed for divorce in November 2025, after three years of marriage, Robert Jr. pled guilty to eight of the 14 charges he was facing, which included two counts of violation of a pretrial protective order and one count of assault on a peace officer.

As for his divorce, Us Weekly confirmed on February 2 that his split from Alexiana was finalized on January 14 after a court hearing. 

At the hearing, which Robert Jr. did not attend, a judge granted Alexiana a default divorce decree as it was noted that the couple had no kids or marital property. It was also revealed that neither party would be granted alimony since they were each capable of earning their own money, and Robert was ordered to pay Alexiana’s legal fees.
