Kim felt "blindsided" by Randy's request for a divorce
According to a 2024 profile by The Washington Post, Robertson filed for divorce from Mulkey because he felt neglected due to her demanding coaching career.
Although they attempted couples counselling to resolve their issues, it was ultimately unsuccessful in saving their marriage. During a May 2023 interview with Sports 2's Michael Cauble, Kim shared insights into her divorce, revealing:
My divorce was hurtful; I will never get over it. I even offered to give up my career to save my marriage. Deep down, I feel like a failure because of how things ended with Randy. I often advise couples to fight through their issues and not consider divorce as a solution. Sometimes, people give up too soon.
She added:
Divorce affects the children more. It is important to consider the selfishness of divorce and how it affects others, not just yourself, before making such a life-altering decision.
