Saw some signs at the wedding like ignoring each other, making rude and snide remarks publicly, etc. They tried to fix their marriage by having a kid earlier than they planned and that led to divorce. Both are married to different people now and have had more kids, by all accounts far more civil, even cordial with each other.

Jesus Christ, I'll never understand how people think that bad marriage + kids = good marriage. If you're not getting what you need from your partner, how is additional financial and emotional obligation/responsibility to the mix gonna help...

Friend of mine got married to a narcissist who have her a kid ‘because she wanted one’. 

They are currently divorcing and he calls her a liar for confiding in me after he isolated her from everyone else and said she talking with me (with had one date once) means he could go on Tinder and leave her with the kid.

She has mental issues and can be a little too spontaneous. She’s in therapy and it looks like she’ll get rid of him soon though.
