Who isn’t aware of Kim Mulkey’s on-court personality? Her coaching revolves around high intensity and passion, leading the Tigers to its maiden NCAA title in 2023, making her a cornerstone for the LSU Tigers. However, people are not familiar with her personal life. Kim, a mother of two, reportedly married an ex-college basketball star whom she met at their shared university. So who is her ex-husband?
His name is Randy Robertson, a former college athlete. The two met during their time at Louisiana Tech and went on to build a life together. But despite their long history, their marriage took an unexpected turn, leaving many curious about what went wrong.
Who was Kim Mulkey married to?
Kim Mulkey was married to the college basketball star Randy Robertson from 1987 to 2006. Both of them met each other when they were young, attending Louisiana Tech as student-athletes. Kim was part of the Basketball roster while Randy was a quarterback on the football team.
Robert played two seasons (1975 & 1976) with the LSU accumulating 1,691 passing yards and averaging 7.4 yards per pass attempt while completing 1,691 passing yards in his overall career. Almost a decade later, Both Kim and Mulkey got married in a private event at the First Baptist Church in Louisiana on June 6, 1987.
Together both are the parents of two children, and their sporting roots run deep within the family, with son Kramer Robertson born on 6th September 1994, is a professional baseball player playing in the MLB, and daughter Makenzie, who played both basketball and softball for Baylor.

Why did Kim Mulkey and Randy Robertson divorce?
After being married for almost 19 years, the couple got divorced in 2006. The reason? Apparently, Kim stated that she was blindsided by the divorce, which was initiated by Robertson. “I offered to quit my job to save my marriage. I am a product of divorce. I saw what it did to me as a grown kid and I didn’t want to do that to my kids”, Kim said in an interview. Despite attempts at couples counseling, the marriage dissolved.
While Robertson’s perspective on the divorce remains private, reports indicate that Robertson felt neglected, and their attempts at couples counseling failed. On the other hand, Mulkey openly expressed her regret over the divorce, stating she wished they could have worked through their issues. “I won’t ever get over it. Deep down, internally, I feel like a failure that I couldn’t make my marriage work.”
What is Randy Robertson doing now?
Robertson currently resides in Texas, Waco, where he has owned a public relations company named Robertson Communications for the last 13 and a half years. The company consults about marketing strategies and looks after the publishing of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame Magazine. Apart from this, Robertson has remained out of the public eye ever since the divorce. His professional ventures after their split have not been widely covered.
