‘Sister Wives’ Star Kody Brown Hints at Move After Splitting From Wives

Kody Brown, the patriarch of TLC’s “Sister Wives,” may be seeing his once-sprawling polygamist family coming to an end. Recent events suggest that Kody and his last remaining wife, Robyn, might be considering a significant lifestyle change amidst the turmoil caused by multiple divorces and family rifts.

Kody and Robyn have recently put their Flagstaff, Arizona house up for sale, listing it for $1,650,000. This 4,476-square-foot property, situated on a secluded two-acre wooded lot, features five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Described as “tucked away behind towering pines on a secluded ridge,” the home offers privacy and peace, according to The Blast.

The decision to sell their Arizona home comes during a highly tumultuous period for the Brown family. Over the last few years, Kody has experienced separations from his spiritual wives. Christine Brown initiated the split in November 2021, followed by Janelle Brown in December 2022, and Meri Brown in January 2023. These departures have left Robyn as Kody’s only remaining wife and legal spouse.

The forthcoming 19th season of “Sister Wives” promises to explore the emotional toll of these separations. A newly released trailer captures the raw emotions and tension within the family. Kody, visibly troubled, says, “They have all betrayed me. I’m out of my mind,” adding, “The dream of a big polygamist family is just shot.”

Robyn, too, appears to be struggling with the new family dynamics. In the trailer, she expresses her frustration, accusing Kody of “sabotaging their relationship” and saying, “I feel like the idiot that got left behind.”

The Brown family’s road to this point has been riddled with challenges. Their move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff in 2018 was intended to be a fresh beginning. Kody had grand plans to build five separate homes on their Coyote Pass property, bought for $820,000. However, these plans have stalled, with no building permits filed and ongoing debts on several land parcels per In Touch.

Robyn Brown, in a previous interview with People, discussed factors that contributed to the family’s breakdown. She pointed to their move to Las Vegas as the initial trigger, noting it shifted focus away from the plural marriage. “I think it started with when we were in Las Vegas. Their focuses started to shift to kids that have left home to go live their lives, instead of focusing on their relationship with Kody,” Robyn explained. She also mentioned the COVID-19 pandemic as part of a “perfect storm” that led to the dissolution of their plural marriage.

The outcome of these separations has created a complicated web of emotions and alliances within the extended Brown family. While Christine and Janelle have found comfort in their friendship, their relationships with Robyn and Meri have soured. The trailer for the new season highlights this growing divide, with Christine bluntly stating, “I’m not going to be friendly,” and Janelle admitting, “I don’t really miss him.” Even Meri, who had previously hoped for reconciliation, firmly states, “Let’s just separate this completely.”

Adding to the complexity, an insider source reported to The U.S. Sun that Kody and Robyn’s relationship has been strained by Kody’s alleged anger and controlling behavior. The source suggests that the loss of his other marriages has significantly affected Kody’s demeanor.

The upcoming season of “Sister Wives” promises to be emotionally charged, with potential legal drama on the horizon. Janelle hints at possible legal action, suggesting she’s considering being “bought out” of her property with Kody and may need to “lawyer up.”

Amidst all this turmoil, the Brown family is also dealing with significant loss. The recent passing of Garrison Brown, one of Kody’s sons, adds another layer to the family’s struggles. While the upcoming season was filmed before this tragic event, the press release for the new season acknowledges Garrison’s death. As “Sister Wives” star Mykelti Brown revealed, “the season was filmed only two years ago,” meaning viewers will witness the family’s turmoil while also mourning their loss. The 19th season of TLC’s “Sister Wives” will premiere on Sunday, September 15, at 10 p.m. ET.
