Key Takeaways
- Kody Brown’s polygamous family has undergone significant changes, with two of his four wives (Christine and Janelle) leaving the relationship in recent years, fundamentally altering the family dynamic showcased in “Sister Wives.”
- Despite his history of polygamy, Kody Brown has expressed reluctance to marry again, citing his past experiences.
- Kody is now concentrating on his relationship with his remaining wife, Robyn, and their children.
Kody Brown, the star of TLC’s popular reality series “Sister Wives,” is unlikely to take another wife anytime soon.
As the central figure of “Sister Wives,” Kody Brown leads a polygamist family that once included four wives: Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
The show chronicles the unique dynamics of their large family, which includes 18 children.
Kody’s journey into polygamy began in April 1990 when he legally married Meri.
Five years later, they welcomed their daughter, Leon.
He then spiritually married Janelle in 1993 and Christine in 1994.
Kody fathered six children with Janelle (Logan, Hunter, Robert, Gabriel, Maddie, and Savannah) and six with Christine (Paedon, Aspyn, Mykelti, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely).
In 2014, Kody legally divorced Meri to marry Robyn, with whom he has two biological children (Solomon and Ariella) and three adopted children from Robyn’s previous marriage (Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna).
However, the family’s structure has changed dramatically in recent years.
In November 2021, Christine announced her separation from Kody.
A year later, in December 2022, Janelle revealed that she and Kody had been “separated for several months” before their 30th anniversary.
Despite these changes, Kody remains committed to his relationship with Robyn.
When asked about the possibility of marrying again, Kody told People magazine,
“The idea of ever marrying again after the experience I’ve had, there’s no reason for me to do that. I feel like I’ve hit the bottom of a deep swimming pool, but I’ve pushed off and am headed to the surface.”
Janelle, Kody’s ex-wife, also doubts he will remarry, stating,
“I’ll bet you $1,000 right now. If he does, I will give you $1,000. Because I just don’t think it’ll ever happen.”
Recent rumors about Kody marrying a woman named Leah or dating someone called Bonnie have proven false.
The Leah rumor stemmed from a brief, unauthorized edit to the “Sister Wives” Wikipedia page, while the Bonnie speculation was quickly debunked.
As Kody goes through the aftermath of his family’s turmoil, he appears to be focusing on rebuilding his confidence and adjusting to his new family dynamic rather than seeking additional wives.
