‘Sister Wives’ Star Kody Brown Drops Big News About Getting Married Again
Kody Brown once had it all, four wives, 18 children, and a large home in Flagstaff, Arizona, but his life of polygamy fell apart over the last two years, leaving the reality star turned off from ever marrying again.
The star of the TLC reality series Sister Wives, which followed Kody and the four women he was “spiritually married” to (Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, Meri Brown, and Robyn Brown), recently spoke to People about his marriage breakdown and what’s next for him.
“The idea of ever marrying again after the experience I’ve had, there’s no reason for me to do that,” Kody told the publication. “I feel like I’ve hit the bottom of a deep swimming pool, but I’ve pushed off and am headed to the surface.”
As documented in the reality series, Kody’s relationships with three of his four wives unraveled over the past two years. Christine, who recently got engaged to her new boyfriend, was the first to leave the marriage, followed by Janelle and Meri. As of writing, Robyn is the only wife remaining, turning Kody’s dreams of polygamy into monogamy.
People also spoke with Christine, Meri, and Janelle, all of whom left Kody in the span of 14 months. The women cited issues of jealousy, legal troubles, and looking after such a large family.
“I went in with these ideas about how idyllic plural marriage was going to be — but it was really hard,” Janelle shared. “Meri and I clashed on everything. Kody and I were amazing when it was just us, but the family dynamic was really tough.”
Despite how things ended, Janelle said she “doesn’t have any regrets” and “would do it all again” as “the experience is what gave us the life that we have now.”
Christine shared similar sentiments, saying, “Just because I left, it doesn’t mean we failed. It [only] means there’s change.”
As for Meri, she is looking to the future with a new mindset of “keeping the doors open and saying yes.”
Fans can watch the fallout of the marriage drama when Sister Wives returns for its 18th season on August 20.

I think Cody is nothing but a dirty old man gets rid of Christine going to get rid of Jenelle probably will have Robin divorce him and she will no longer be number one the favorite the show is starting to look like nothing but nasty. I hope all the women leave him, he is shameful towards his God he has no morals

I think no woman should be subjected to his self-centered, kiss the ring, arrogant attitude. Not to mention the constant whining about his near death experience with Covid. You’re a joke!
Leave that joke ladies and find a good man that truly appreciates you.

Honestly, in the beginning of sister wives i loved the show they were all in one house n Cody seemed to truly love n value all his wives. I like the family aspect of more than one mother god forbid something happens to one of the women the children always have a mother to care for them. I do however think that Robin isn't as innocent as she always portrays to be the woman acts like she's a saint n I think played Cody like a fiddle whether he realized it or not. Mary had her indiscretion n that gave him n out. Janelle was always a big monetary help to Cody n they had children still not out of the house. ...n Christine who was such a good mother to all of the children.. I agree w her i think Cody was around for Robin n her kids more from the start n that was wrong. N fast-forward to Covid n it was his perfect Out. To just be at Robins constantly. He shouldn't have stayed away as much as he did. I think Cody just gave up n it's sad bc I had such admiration for him in the beginning. But as time went on I think he changed . His kids got older out of the house ... N I think he definitely favors Robin n yes he was a father to her girls since they were young but something tell me once their out of the house I don't know he might not be as interested in being at Robins. I just think he's very full of himself n enjoys being around the teenage girls that he's not related too. I don't know or maybe he just prefers to be there bc they are all very compliant kinda kiss his ass.v

I think you are correct. Just made for TV. They are all connected someway as relatives. I am not watching. I think Meri was probably the only one with morals that ever loved Kody. I don't think Kody likes Robyn and has zero respects her as far as any morals is concerned but maybe that's the type of woman he wants, she a lot like him where Meri acted with morals and and honest.He looks miserable, not happy, it probably didn't suit Kody being with an honest person like Meri. He likes lying and fake crying. Plus he understands lazy. Just a tv scrip anyway
