FACTS ABOUT CODY ALAN WILLIAMS
Cody was born on November 25, 1991, under the sign of Sagittarius in San Francisco, California. He is the youngest child of Robin's second marriage to Marsha Garces Williams. The couple was married from 1989 until 2010.
Even though he prefers to keep his life away from the public eye, Cody did make an appearance in the 2018 documentary "Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind," which highlights the life and career of his late father.

Cody has two older siblings - A sister Zelda, and Zachary, also known as "Zak," is his half-brother. The latter is Robin's son from his previous marriage to his first wife, Valerie Velardi.
It's no surprise that Cody's older siblings have followed their father into the entertainment industry. Zak, 39, and Zelda, 32, are actors who started their careers in the early 1990s and 2000s.

CODY'S WEDDING WAS A TRIBUTE TO HIS LATE FATHER
While most of his siblings succeeded in acting, Cody found success in marriage. Cody and his beautiful wife, Maria Flores, tied the knot on July 21, 2019—Robin's actual birthdate.
His father may have turned 68 on the day of their special union. The couple's wedding ceremony occurred at Robin and Marsha's residence in San Francisco, California, where Cody and Zelda grew up.
The occasion was noteworthy in every way. In addition to honoring Robin, Cody and his wife paid tribute to their departed loved ones: Cody's late cousin Todd Elsner, Maria's aunt Carol Browning and grandfather Daniel Flores.

Meanwhile, Zelda highlighted on social media how her younger brother's wedding day has taken on special significance for her. She's also ecstatic that she has a new sister in the family.
