Kody Brown is no stranger to family drama. But, the toll of his failed marriages was clear in the latest episode of Sister Wives. During a family wedding, Kody and his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, crossed paths with his ex-wives – Christine, Janelle, and Meri Brown. The encounter left Kody reeling, as he described the event as “awkward” and “weird.”
“Overall, the whole wedding was just sad for me,” Kody revealed in his confessional. He reflected on how the once close-knit family now felt like strangers. “We used to go places as a family, and now it’s like those who were my partners are now almost like enemies. It’s awkward. I don’t know what the solution is.”
The wedding, which happened off-camera, was a turning point for Kody. He began to confront the reality of his fractured relationships. It was a harsh reminder of how much his life has changed since his plural marriage fell apart. The father of 18 admitted that navigating the new dynamics has been difficult, and he’s unsure of how to rebuild those connections.

Sister Wives: Kody Admits Regret Over His Breakup with Christine: “I Wasn’t Sure She Was Serious”
The most painful breakup for Kody Brown may have been with his third wife, Christine Brown. Christine was the first to leave the plural marriage. She has moved on, but Kody is still coming to terms with it. “I wasn’t sure she was being serious when she moved my stuff out of her house,” Kody confessed, admitting his own foolishness in not recognizing the signs sooner.
He expressed regret, believing that their breakup could have been handled differently. “For Christine and I, I think if we would have just broken up as friends, it would have been better for the whole family,” Kody shared. “Like, make it so we can get back together another time instead of polarizing everybody.”
Christine is thriving in her new life. Meanwhile, Kody wonders if things could have been different had he acted sooner. Fans sympathize with Christine’s decision to leave. They cite Kody’s emotionally distant behavior in previous seasons as a key reason.

Sister Wives: Meri Moves On, But Kody Hopes to Stay Friends
Kody Brown’s reflection didn’t stop with Christine Brown. He also addressed his complicated relationship with his first wife, Meri Brown. After their 2014 divorce—so Kody could marry Robyn and adopt her kids—Meri stayed in the family. But, their relationship was never the same. In January 2023, they confirmed their official separation in a joint Instagram post.
Meri has been taking steps to officially end the marriage through her church, a process Kody referred to as a “release.” Despite their history, Kody is eager to move forward as friends rather than enemies. “I think if I were single and Meri was single, would I date her? No, I wouldn’t,” Kody said bluntly. “She is upset that I’ve dragged this out so long. I don’t blame her.”
Yet Kody is determined not to let his relationship with Meri become as strained as his relationships with Christine and Janelle. “I don’t want Meri to take the same toll and direction that Christine and Janelle have taken,” he admitted. “I need one more enemy right now like I need a hole in the head. That’s why I’m trying to be in this place with Meri where it’s like, ‘Hey, can we just be friends and move on?’”
Sister Wives: Janelle Enjoys Her Freedom, But Kody Hopes for Reconciliation
Kody Brown’s relationship with Janelle Brown, who officially split from him in late 2022, is still full of tension. The two don’t communicate much, and Kody is baffled by why they can’t reconcile. “To be really honest with you, I don’t understand why we can’t reconcile,” Kody said, seemingly confused by Janelle’s decision to keep her distance.
Janelle, on the other hand, has made it clear that she’s enjoying her newfound independence. Kody revealed that when he spoke to Janelle about their relationship, she said, “I’m just enjoying my time away from you.” Fans of the show have praised Janelle for prioritizing herself and her happiness, something that seems to have taken Kody by surprise.
Kody’s failed to fix things with Christine and Janelle, leaving him with just Robyn. Yet, their marriage is also strained. Robyn is struggling with the loss of her sister wives and Kody’s distance from most of his kids.
Sister Wives: Robyn Opens Up About Her Grief and Kody’s Struggle
Robyn Brown once had Kody Brown’s full attention. Now, she feels the pain of the family’s disintegration. In a rare vulnerable moment, Robyn admitted in her confessional, “I’m going through a lot of mourning, loss, and grieving of the relationships and dealing with some of my own just situational depression from it.”
Robyn, now 45, revealed that it’s rare to see Kody smile anymore, adding, “It’s not normal to see Kody smiling lately because of everything that’s been going on with the family and stuff.” Fans have long speculated that holding the family together is straining Robyn and Kody’s relationship.

Sister Wives: Kody Still Hopes for Reconciliation with His Children
Despite the turmoil, Kody remains hopeful that time will heal the wounds in his family. He ended his confessional on a somewhat optimistic note, saying, “What I’m thinking is, with time going on and just a phone call once in a while, these relationships will come back. And then, I’ll be, like, in full fellowship with my children again.”
