Cody Herpin Is Jodie Sweetin's Ex-husband Who Built a Strong Bond with Their Daughter

Cody Herpin is a film transportation specialist known for marrying actress Jodie Sweetin. The couple was only married for just over a year. But during their relationship, they welcomed a beautiful daughter, and Cody Herpin is very proud of their child.

Cody Herpin has made a name for himself as a professional in the transportation department of films. His name might also ring a bell as he was one of Jodie Sweetin's husbands.

The couple briefly married years ago, which ended with the "Full House" actress accusing her ex-husband of refusing to work. The former couple also share a daughter, and Cody Herpin often captures glimpses of their close relationship on social media.

Who Is Cody Herpin?

Cody was born in Los Angeles, California, on April 28, 1977, and grew up close to Hollywood, where he established his career. He has worked in the logistics department on several films, taking up various roles.

In 2007, Cody worked as a driver in the horror film, "Unearthed." That same year, he worked on producing "Ladrón que roba a ladrón." His job description was listed as "transportation." At the time of this publication, Cody has over 1,400 followers on Instagram, sharing glimpses of his life and frequently posting pictures of his daughter.

Cody was 30, and Jodie was 25 when they eventually tied the knot.

How Did Cody Herpin and His Ex-wife Meet?

In 2007, friends introduced Cody to Jodie, who had gained popularity through her portrayal of Stephanie Tanner in "Full House," a television sitcom from 1987 to 1995. The former couple began their relationship in May 2007, and while they were still dating, Jodie acknowledged that Cody had helped her overcome her drug addiction.

Cody was 30, and Jodie was 25 when they eventually tied the knot. Their wedding was held on July 14, 2007, at the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas, Nevada.

However, this was not Jodie's first marriage, as she had walked down the aisle before with Shaun Holguin, a member of the Los Angeles Police Department. They married in 2002 when Jodie was 20 and divorced in 2006.

The Birth of Cody Herpin and His Ex-wife's Child Did Not Go as Planned

Cody and Jodie welcomed their first and only child together just two days short of their nine-month wedding anniversary on April 12, 2008. Their baby girl was delivered at 3:20 in the afternoon via C-section, weighing 8 pounds, 7 ounces, and was 21 inches long.

Cody and his ex-wife named their daughter Zoie Laurelmae Herpin, and the former revealed to fans that Zoie had passed her due date by almost a week and the delivery had not gone the way they initially planned.

Jodie Sweetin claimed that Cody had stopped going to work after they got married.

Jodie's labor process reportedly took more than 40 hours, resulting in the "Full House" star having an emergency C-section and giving birth to a daddy's girl.

Despite having to split her time between her divorced parents, Zoie and her father spend a significant amount of time together. Cody has gushed about how proud he is of his daughter and thanks her for helping him to be a father, something he never had.

Cody Herpin and His Ex-wife Were Married for Less than Two Years

Jodie filed for divorce after just over a year of marriage and seven months of parenthood, a move that appeared to be unexpected by Cody. Commenting about being served divorce papers in 2008 and his concerns over his wife's mental and health state, Cody said:

"I was dumbfounded. Over this past month, something has been different. I'm concerned about our daughter, and I just want (Zoie) home."

Despite his concerns, the actress's agent revealed that she was clean and her filing for divorce was what she felt was the next step to take. She reportedly stated that it was an unfortunate turn of events and she would not disrespect Cody by giving more details.

In her divorce application, Jodie Sweetin claimed that Cody had stopped going to work after they got married and was not looking for employment opportunities. She alleged he often found excuses not to, which strained their finances and, eventually, their relationship.

She applied for joint physical and legal custody of Zoie, and at the end of their long-running divorce proceedings in 2010, the actress was ordered to pay Cody $600 per month in child support. This was increased to $2000 monthly in 2017 and would continue until Zoie turned 18, got married, or became financially independent.

What Has Cody Herpin Been up To?

In December 2022, Cody turned to Instagram and expressed how proud he was of Zoie, who was only a Freshman and playing varsity soccer. "[...] Two games down she's only sat out for about 2 minutes total. Stoked to see how this team does [...]," he captioned the post in part.

He was the picture of a proud father once more in March as he boasted about the "insane" goal his daughter scored in the caption of a photo dump of Zoie and her friends at a soccer tournament in Las Vegas.

In May, Cody celebrated Zoie's first year at university with a snap of her smiling. "My Freshman got her Letters for playing Varsity," the caption read. More recently, Cody's daughter reached another milestone: learning how to drive.

On July 25, Jodie's ex-husband shared a picture of their daughter smiling and holding a thumbs-up behind the wheel. However, her father was less happy about her learning to drive, as he humorously captioned the post, "And This is Happening," with a facepalm emoticon.
