Kenneth worked as a pipe fitter in construction, and the two of them never had any kids together. It seems like their marriage didn’t last long and fell apart just a few years after they got married, but no one knows for sure when they split up.

US says that Kenneth died in 2012 because of problems that came up after he had surgery on his heart.

In 2017, a woman who said she was Julie’s sister-in-law told Radar that the reality star was still legally married to Kenneth when she started dating Todd. However, this was never proven to be true. For background, Julie and Todd got married in 1996.
