Chad Franke Weds Kamryn Anderson in Emotional Utah Ceremony
In a moment of celebration amid a tumultuous family history, Chad Franke, the 20-year-old son of convicted child abuser Ruby Franke, has married Kamryn Anderson. The couple tied the knot in a beautiful Utah wedding, sharing exclusive photos that offer a glimpse into their special day and the Franke family’s new beginnings.
“She’s Mrs. Franke Now”
Chad announced the news on Instagram, posting a photo of him and his new wife at the ceremony. “She’s Mrs. Franke now… pray for her.🤍,” he captioned the post, adding that he would share more details throughout the week.
An Emotional Ceremony
Photos shared exclusively with PEOPLE magazine revealed tender moments from the nuptials. One powerful image shows Chad overcome with emotion, wiping tears from his eyes as he holds Kamryn’s hand at the altar. Another captures the joyous couple with their hands in the air, celebrating being officially declared husband and wife. The groom’s father, Kevin Franke, was also present to celebrate with the happy couple.
The pair first went public with their relationship in January 2024, and Chad announced their engagement with photos of a stunning lakeside proposal in June. His sister Shari commented on the post at the time, “NEW SISSY.”
A New Chapter for the Franke Family
Chad’s wedding marks a significant step forward for a family that has been under intense public scrutiny. It is the first of several celebrations, as the Franke family seems to be embracing a season of new beginnings.
More Franke Weddings on the Horizon
Chad’s older sister, Shari Franke, 22, announced her engagement in December of last year, though she has stated her intention to keep the details of her wedding and future private. Furthermore, their father, Kevin Franke, 47, recently announced his engagement to Becca Bevan, with a wedding planned for November. On Facebook, Kevin wrote, “Redemption is a real thing… Here’s to new beginnings and fresh starts!”
The Lingering Shadow of Ruby Franke
These celebrations come after a dark period for the family. Kevin’s ex-wife and the mother of his six children, Ruby Franke, is currently serving a prison sentence of four to 60 years. The former “8 Passengers” YouTube vlogger pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse in February 2024, closing a shocking case that captured national attention.
