Polygamous Family Dynamics: Kody Brown’s Journey to Legally Marrying Robyn
The Decision to Legally Marry Robyn
On the latest episode of Sister Wives, Kody Brown, 55, and his ex-wives, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown, discussed the decision Meri made to divorce Kody so that he could legally marry Robyn Brown, 46. Kody revealed that he "never felt like that legal divorce did anything to us."
Meri’s Decision to Divorce
Meri, 53, explained that she felt divorcing Kody was what she "needed to do." After the divorce, Kody was "really kind" and "present in our relationship for, you know, a month or so" before things dissipated. She also recalled the catfishing incident that occurred several months later.
Janelle’s Perspective
Janelle, 55, stated that she suspected it wasn’t Meri’s idea to legally divorce Kody. "I was actually sort of speechless when she told us that she was actually doing it, because I thought Meri would never do this. I already had started to see that there was a little bit of favoritism for Robyn from Kody at that point, and I did worry."
Christine’s Insights
Christine, 52, remembered that when Robyn first joined the family, she started talking to them about other families where the first wife divorced the husband so he could marry the second wife legally and adopt the kids. Christine claimed that Robyn brought this up to "plant" the idea into the family’s heads, noting how she mentioned it several times over the years.
Robyn’s Response
Robyn denied the allegation that she "planted an idea in Meri’s head." "I never said it. I don’t even know anyone who divorced their first wife so that the second wife could adopt kids. I’ve never even heard of that before," she said. "Meri told me when she made the offer that when we were getting to know each other, she had had the idea in her head to offer to give me the legal marriage so that Kody could adopt her kids."
Conclusion
The controversy surrounding Kody’s legal marriage to Robyn has sparked a lot of debate within the family. While some believe that Robyn was the one who planted the idea in Meri’s head, others believe that Meri’s decision to divorce Kody was her own. Ultimately, the dynamics of a polygamous family can be complex, and the intentions behind Kody’s actions are still unclear.
