Courtney Stodden's mother, Krista, joins her on the red carpet for reality show premiere

Courtney Stodden, who shot to fame nearly a decade ago as the "child bride" who wed a 50-year-old man at 16, had a steadfast supporter by her side on Tuesday: Her mother, Krista Keller.

Courtney, now 25, posed alongside her mom at the premiere of her new reality show, "Courtney," which will stream on Amazon Prime. While Courtney donned a skin-baring hot pink number, Krista opted for a more conservative look in a shawl and kitten heels. Krista's husband, Reggie Salazar, also made an appearance.

Courtney's estranged father, Alex Stodden, was notably absent. The two have a rocky relationship, and Courtney has said that he once hit on her without realizing she was his daughter.

"The last time I changed my hair, I hadn't seen my father for a while," Stodden said on the Hollywood Pipeline Podcast. "I invited him out for dinner. He walks in the restaurant, takes a look at me and smiles like, 'Ohhhh,' then walks on by. He was flirting with me."

She continued, "He didn't even know I was his daughter."

Stodden's infamous 2011 wedding to Doug Hutchison, who is now 59 years old, ended in divorce earlier this year. Her parents were supportive of the marriage, with her mom even serving as a witness during the nuptials.
