In a surprising revelation during the Jan. 5 episode of Sister Wives, Kody Brown told Robyn Brown he’s thinking about leaving the country. The reality star has endured painful separations from Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. He wants to move far away from the memories of his failed plural marriages.
“I got an itch to move so bad, just to get away from the energy of it all,” Kody confessed in a confessional segment.
He added, “I’ve got kids in college, kids in grade school — but I want to move to Europe. I want to get away from this where I can’t see it or be bombarded by it or feel it anymore.”
Sister Wives: Kody’s Struggles With His Ex-Wives Push Him to the Breaking Point
Kody Brown’s shocking confession comes as his relationship with his only remaining wife, Robyn, stands on shaky ground. His divorces from Meri, Janelle, and Christine have clearly taken a toll on him emotionally.
He admitted that his tumultuous relationship with Janelle, in particular, has contributed to his desire to leave. “We’re just not matching up,” Kody said about Janelle. “She wants to do things different than what I want to do.”
Janelle, who left Kody in December 2022, wants to protect her finances. She even threatened to get lawyers involved after Kody withheld info about their Coyote Pass property.

Sister Wives: Fans Blast Kody for Wanting to Abandon His Family
Kody Brown’s confession that he wants to move to Europe didn’t sit well with Sister Wives fans. Many took to social media to vent their frustration. They accused Kody of abandoning his duties as a father to his 18 children.
One fan on Reddit wrote, “How does a real man just want to leave his 18 kids just because things get a little rough?”
Another viewer added, “I have no idea how anybody found him attractive at all. Narcissist comes to mind, emotionally abusive is second.”
Fans also pointed out that Kody no longer has the escape route he once enjoyed with his plural marriage. One commenter theorized, “The ONLY thing wrong with this man is that he only has ONE woman left!!! He can no longer run from house to house to get away from the others.”

Sister Wives: Does Kody Regret Breaking Up His Plural Family?
While Kody has hinted at regret regarding his divorces, fans are skeptical. In a September 2024 interview with People, Kody said, “There’s even the regret of the divorce – Meri, Janelle, and Christine – those divorces and being angry during those divorces. Sure, I regret that stuff.”
But viewers aren’t convinced his regrets are genuine. Many believe Kody is mourning the loss of the family lifestyle he once enjoyed, not the actual relationships he had with his wives or children.
Fans noted that Kody and Robyn Brown talk about missing “the family experience.” But, they rarely mention missing specific family members. “They don’t miss the people – they miss the power and the image,” one Reddit user noted.
Sister Wives: Robyn Brown Isn’t on Board With Kody’s Plan
Despite Kody Brown’s desire to relocate, Robyn seems hesitant about making such a drastic move. During their conversation, she pushed back against his idea, asking him to reconsider.
Fans believe Robyn isn’t entirely happy with the situation she now finds herself in. “She seems happy to be showered with adoration, but she’s very stingy returning it unless she’s getting something out of it,” a fan speculated.
