In the latest season of Sister Wives, Kody Brown is pulling back the curtain on the real reasons his plural family fell apart. Fans have long believed Kody’s favoritism for Robyn Brown caused his marriages to Meri, Janelle, and Christine to fail. Now, Kody is hinting at Robyn’s involvement-but not in the way viewers expect.
In an upcoming Sister Wives episode, Kody reveals, “I didn’t know I was in bad relationships until I met Robyn.” His admission suggests that his emotional connection with Robyn opened his eyes to the flaws in his other relationships. Kody says his marriage to Robyn is a “normal relationship that has deep emotional intimacy.” It makes his past marriages feel inferior.
By framing his past marriages this way, Kody shifts blame to his relationship with Robyn. He implies that, without her, he might have never recognized the issues with his other wives. However, this revelation has left fans with more questions than answers about Kody’s personal growth—or lack thereof.

Sister Wives: Kody’s Emotional Outbursts Reveal Lingering Resentment
Though Kody Brown insists he’s found happiness with Robyn Brown, his behavior suggests otherwise. Rather than embracing peace with his former wives moving on, Kody appears angrier and more resentful with each passing season. His frustration grew when Christine Brown announced her engagement to David Woolley.
During the latest episodes, Kody confessed to feeling “FOMO” when Janelle explored new places to settle down. And Meri’s decision to secure a spiritual release from their church-a step that officially ended their marriage-left Kody fuming. “I wish you would have made your choice sooner,” Kody told Meri in their latest confrontation, blaming her for not ending things earlier.
Meri Brown, however, was quick to fire back: “My choice was always to stay. Had I wanted to leave sooner, I would have left sooner.”

Sister Wives: Kody’s Conflicting Feelings Toward His Exes
Despite his claims of newfound happiness, Kody Brown seems bitter that his ex-wives are thriving. His frustrations boiled over in a recent confessional, where he reflected on the struggles of plural marriage:
“Leadership will never allow you to marry again if you’re discarding wives. Well, I was in terrible relationships but wasn’t willing to discard them… I didn’t even know I was in terrible relationships.”
Kody also gave a blunt analogy about his ex-wives: “You just think you’re in a normal relationship because all your friends have the same problem until you’re in a normal relationship that has deep emotional intimacy.” His use of crude language to describe his failed marriages-“That doesn’t create intimacy. That just creates orgasms”—further fueled criticism from fans, who accuse him of lacking accountability.

Sister Wives: Meri Brown Reflects on Her Painful Divorce
The tension between Kody and Meri Brown came to a head during a pivotal conversation on Sister Wives. When Kody remarked, “What really sucks is marrying the wrong person because you don’t know,” Meri took the statement personally, saying, “Wow, OK. Because you married me at six months, you married the wrong person, and you just didn’t know.”
Although Kody tried to backtrack, saying, “I’m not even saying that, Meri,” she remained unconvinced. In her confessional, Meri delivered a final blow: “What sucks is marrying the wrong person and not having the decency to tell her until 32 years later.”
Meri’s decision to seek a release from the church symbolizes her final step toward closure. “Back in 2014, Kody and I did a legal divorce… but our spiritual marriage, our spiritual ceiling was still intact,” she explained. Meri said ending their spiritual marriage was “heartbreaking” but necessary to move forward.
