Sister Wives Season 19 Premiere: Robyn Brown Admits to Marital Struggles with Kody Amid Family Turmoil

Sister Wives Season 19 begins with a close look at Kody and Robyn Brown’s troubled relationship. Once strong, they now face challenges as their plural family changes.

In the premiere, Robyn admits her marriage to Kody is the worst it’s ever been since Meri, Janelle, and Christine left.

In a candid confessional, Robyn Brown shared, “We’re probably doing the worst we’ve ever done in our marriage,” further adding, “He doesn’t know who to blame: himself or one of the other wives.” This statement shows Kody’s confusion after his dissolved plural marriage.

Robyn also opened up about Kody’s feelings of rejection, explaining that he may be waiting for her to leave as well. “He’s kind of looking at me going, are you going to reject me too? So, I’m on my toes,” she admitted, noting how much effort she’s putting into preventing him from “sabotaging” their relationship.

Mmmm, actually Robyn the stupid contract was buying it to begin with, uprooting 3 other families to be close to your son's college and suggesting those 3 women stay in a loveless marriage to finance your life. #sisterwives pic.twitter.com/jTcSldbBPH

Addressing the Tragic Loss of Garrison Brown

The Season 19 premiere addressed the loss of Garrison Brown. He was the son of Kody and Janelle. He died in March 2024. In the opening title cards, TLC acknowledged the timeline of events. They shared a heartfelt message: “On March 5, 2024, Kody and Janelle’s son Garrison passed away.” He was greatly loved and will be deeply missed.”

Garrison’s death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound has deeply affected the family. This tragedy followed a tense portrayal of Garrison and Kody’s relationship in earlier seasons. Kody’s strict COVID-19 rules had pushed many of his older children away.

Kody Brown’s relationship with his children, especially Garrison and Gabriel, worsened during the pandemic. At one point, Kody lamented, “I’ve reached out to Garrison and Gabriel. They’re blocking me. They’re not interested in talking to me.” This fracture in their bond has been a focal point in recent seasons, and Garrison’s untimely death adds a new layer of grief for the family to navigate.

Kody and Robyn Brown’s Future Remains Uncertain

Kody and Robyn Brown face challenges, leaving fans wondering about their relationship. Meanwhile, rumors about selling their Flagstaff home spark divorce speculation.
