Kevin Franke has remarried months after finalizing his divorce from ex-wife Ruby Franke.

The father of six, 46, and his wife, Becca Bevan — who first got engaged in September, per Kevin's social media announcement at the time — smiled together in a wedding photo shared by his daughter Shari, 22. The picture sees the newlyweds standing between Shari and Kevin's 20-year-old son, Chad.

"I don’t even have words to describe how amazing it was to see my dad get married!" Shari began in the caption of her Instagram post on Sunday, Dec. 21.

"When I was younger, I could always see he wasn’t happy, and I prayed that one day he’d find someone that made him happy like he deserved," The House of My Mother author wrote. "I’m so glad I was there to witness his love story 😭❤️."

Shari warned her 744,000 Instagram followers that "any negative comments towards him or his beautiful wife will be deleted."

The proud daughter continued, "You do not know my dad, you don’t know amends made or conversations we’ve had. He is a wonderful man, and I’m so happy for the new addition to the family!"

Earlier this year, when Kevin announced his engagement to Bevan on Facebook, on Sept. 29, he shared that they were planning a "simple wedding" in Springville, Utah, with family. He specified that the date for their nuptials was set for Nov. 14.

In announcing their upcoming wedding this past autumn, he also took the opportunity to reflect on finding love and happiness again following his family's difficult chapter.

"Redemption is a real thing," Kevin wrote. "There were moments during the past three years when I didn’t think I would ever feel happiness or the warm embrace of a loving partner again. I’m so grateful for grace, resilience, a loving God who gives me hope and family and friends that buoyed me when I couldn’t stand on my own."

In addition to Kevin's nuptials, the family also recently celebrated Chad's marriage to his wife, Kamryn Anderson, which he announced in October. Shari also revealed she's engaged in an Instagram post of her ring in December 2024.

"I’m excited to share that I’m engaged!" she wrote on her social media page. "However, for me, this is the end of me sharing my private life. I’ve had my voice and agency taken for so long, and now, I’m putting my foot down. I’m not going to talk about my wedding, future husband, or future kids."

Kevin's ex-wife Ruby, 43, is currently in prison in Utah after pleading guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse. In February 2024, she was sentenced to between four and 60 years in prison. The former couple — who share six kids, including Chad and Shari — finalized their divorce in March 2025; Kevin was awarded full custody of the pair's four minor children.

Ruby rose to fame as a popular YouTube vlogger who documented her family's daily life on their channel, 8 Passengers. However, Ruby and her content came under intense scrutiny over the years due to the strict parenting philosophy she used with her kids. Ruby was arrested in 2023, along with her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, with whom she was living at the time.
