“Days of Our Lives” actor Robert Kelker-Kelly quietly tied the knot four years before his sudden death at age 62, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
The late soap star married Allison Jean Harper on July 15, 2022, in Missouri, according to marriage records obtained by Page Six.
The marriage, which was not publicly announced, came to light after a police report obtained by Page Six earlier this week identified Allison Kelly as the actor’s wife.
Page Six reached out to Allison for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Kelker-Kelly died suddenly on Oct. 3 after suffering a cardiac arrest at his Missouri home, according to law enforcement.
“A police report was completed, as is standard in all sudden death investigations,” a representative for the St. Peters Police Department previously told Page Six.
According to the report, Allison told police she picked up her husband from Spirit of St. Louis Airport around 7:30 p.m. when he began complaining of chest, neck and left arm pain during their drive home.
She asked Kelker-Kelly if he wanted to go to the hospital, but he declined, telling her he wanted to go home and rest.
After arriving home, the actor continued complaining of discomfort and asked his wife to get him an aspirin.
When Allison, 53, returned to their bedroom, she discovered the actor “unresponsive and not breathing.”
“Upon arrival, I contacted the reporting party, identified as Allison Kelly. Allison stated she discovered her husband, identified as Robert Kelly, unresponsive in their bedroom. Allison stated she called 911 and began CPR,” the responding officer wrote.
“Robert was lying in bed on his back with his head facing east and his feet facing west. Robert was wearing a black tee shirt and grey boxers at the time of contact. The St. Charles County Ambulance District (SCCAD) arrived on scene and began providing medical attention for Robert who was unresponsive and not breathing,” the report stated.
Emergency responders arrived and began lifesaving measures, but the actor was pronounced dead at 9:09 p.m.
Authorities found no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, and the medical examiner determined that no further investigation was necessary.
Kelker-Kelly, who was best known for playing Bo Brady on “Days of Our Lives” from 1992 to 1995, was previously married to actress Linda Rattner from 1988 to 1992 and his former “Days” co-star Miriam Parrish from 1997 until their 2013 divorce.
He also appeared on “Another World” and “General Hospital” before pursuing a career in aviation.
