Kody BrownandRobyn BrownfromSister Wivesmay have found"divine love"with each other, butthey have continued to encounter challenges in their monogamous relationship. Kody was already married to Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown when Robyn became his fourth wife in their polygamous household. However, Robyn’s addition causedKody to neglect his dutiestowards his other wives and children. Between 2021 and 2023, Meri, Janelle, andChristine decided to end their spiritual unionwith Kody, leaving him in a monogamous relationship with Robyn. AmidSister Wivesseason 19, Kody is working toward reconciling with his children.
While Kody has been focusing on repairing his relationship with his children and healing old wounds, his perspective on polygamy has shifted.
In a sneak peek of the nextSister Wivesseason 19 Tell All, shared byET, Kody and Robyn discuss their perspectives on potentially reentering into a polygamous marriage. During the conversation with host Suki Krishnan, Kody firmly rejects the idea of taking on another wife. He says,“No. H*** no,“adding,“We already failed.“Kody says thatpolygamy is"off the table because it was taken off the table.”
On the other hand,Robyn stays open to the possibility, provided certain conditions are met. She says,“If I had some sort of guarantee, and if Kody was up for it, yeah.“However, Robyn expresses her concerns about the uncertainty surrounding the success of polygamy for them and notes Kody’s lack of interest in pursuing that lifestyle, which leads her to hesitate about being in such a relationship.
What Kody & Robyn’s Disagreement Over Plural Marriage Means
Kody & Robyn’s Monogamous Relationship Isn’t Without Flaws
It is logical for Kody and Robyn to have differing views on the idea of going back to polygamy. Kody used to support plural marriage strongly, buthis opinion changed afterthree of his wives left him, causing him a great deal of pain. In contrast, Robyn joined Kody’s family with the desire to be a part of a polygamous household and to have a big family with her sister wives and their children. It appears that Robyn is still open to the idea of polygamy, as that was the primary reason for marrying Kody initially.
Kody and Robyn appear to be at odds regarding their future together. While Kody has decided against polygamy, Robyn has still been holding on to her original dream.This major difference in opinion about polygamy could cause further challenges for the couplein the future. They may need to put in extra effort to ensure their new exclusive relationship is successful. While it appears unlikely that Kody and Robyn will break up, circumstances could change down the road. They may encounter additional marital difficulties in future seasons ofSister Wives.
