“The Brady Bunch” star Christopher Knight has had an amazing career, but his personal life has not been much of an easy ride. His on-screen mom Florence Henderson approved that Knight is now married to his fourth spouse. “The Brady Bunch” remains one of the most loved sitcoms of all time. Some of its cast members have achieved legendary status. It was known for helping to launch the careers of news stars as well as cementing the legacy left by Florence Henderson, a beloved sitcom mom who is widely considered one of the most iconic TV moms.
Aside from playing a mom on TV, Henderson was a natural mom to some of the younger castmates like Christopher Knight, with whom she remained close friends until her death in 2016. Henderson was more than just a helper to Knight with his career. She also played a significant role in Knight’s personal life and gave her the ability to approve and reject Knight’s partner choice.
The 70s were a good time for Knight as his career walked into the limelight, but after the show, he did not quickly find the fame he had hoped for and struggled for a while in the major part of the 80s. Knight was able after a series to restart his career and get his life back on track. But there are still areas that actors struggle with, particularly in their relationships. He has been married four times.
His marriages are well-known, including his union with Adrianne Curry (America’s Next Top Model), whom he married in 2006. He divorced in 2012. His first marriage was to Julie Schulman. Then he married Toni Erickson. After his divorce, the 63-year-old waited for years before making another vow. But in 2016, he felt certain that he had made the right decision and married Cara Kokenes.
Knight and her husband are well-known but Kokenes is a star in her own right. The couple tied the knot on November 5, 2016, on a yacht in the middle of Lake Michigan and in the presence of close friends and family, and since then, they look happy together. The duo loves to share pictures of their union, and there is no doubt that they are both finding their adventure thrilling and fun. In a post, she once shared on her Facebook, the fitness coach called Knight her best friend and soulmate.
Henderson was sweetly considered a second mother to Knight, and as a mom, she made sure to play her part in scrutinizing his decision to walk down the aisle with Kokenes a few years after a third marriage that proved to be a mess. Their union was approved by Henderson, who died a few days later. Knight wrote a statement to his family to say that Henderson had approved of their union and that it was a wonderful experience to have her as a part of the family.
Knight’s fourth wife seems to be quite the nerd and has a thing for gathering degrees and expanding her knowledge. She graduated from Miami University, Ohio with a Bachelors of Science in Exercise Physiology. She also holds a B.A. she is also a Master of Science in Kinesiology and a Master of Psychology. Her specialty is Cardiac Rehabilitation.
Despite being a lover of books, Knight’s wife loves to compete and seems to be a born winner. She won the national vault and uneven bars titles and has a flourishing career helping people keep fit. Kokones seems to have an entrepreneurial side and has done a great job for her own business. But, she finds her greatest joy in being married to the love of her life.
Henderson died at age 82, but she left behind years of an impressive acting career and the sweet friendship she shared with some of her old castmates. Knight, who played Peter Brady in “The Brady Bunch,” felt her loss more than anyone else would have. The actor noted that Henderson’s opinion mattered to him, and he often found ways to please her and put a smile on her face. Knight had his mentor Florence Henderson, who provided enough visual guidance to him even though he didn’t receive much verbal guidance.
Henderson was like an alternate mom for Knight, especially when his relationship with his biological mom hit the rocks, and he felt he had no one. His mom on screen proved to be a great source of comfort. According to reports, Henderson died in the arms of close family members following a heart attack. However, her influence continues to live on through the lives of her influence.
