Kody BrownfromSister Wivesis still in the process of repairing his relationships with his adult children. Having lived in a polygamous household for over three decades with his four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn Brown, Kody fathered a total of eighteen children and assumed the role of family patriarch. However, as time went on,Kody began to favor his youngest wife, Robyn, over his other three wives. Thisshift in priorities led him to neglect his roles as a responsible husband and father, resulting in his three wives leaving him.
Over the past few seasons, Kody has been in conflict with his ex-wives over various issues. He accused Christine of betraying him, told Meri that he never loved her, and fought with Janelle over the Coyote Pass property. Kody argued with Robyn about the nature of their marriage and its future. He expressed that he no longer wanted to be in a polygamous relationship, while Robyn indicated that she was still open to trying if there were guarantees of it working out this time around. InSister Wivesseason 19,Kody and Robyn appeared happy in their monogamous relationship.
Kody Has Been At Odds With All His OG Kids
None Of The Adult Children Are Very Fond Of Kody
Apart from his former spouses, Kody has encountered disagreements with several of his grown children over the years. Some time ago, viewers saw the polygamous patriarch in a tough situation with his sons, Garrison and Gabriel Brown. He wanted him to remain at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and follow his strict rules. However,Garrison and Gabriel chose to disregard Kody’s wishesand continued with their regular activities. This decision upsetKody, who then demanded Janelle evict Garrison and Gabrielfrom their home, resulting in irreversible strain on his relationships with both of them.
Christine’s son, Paedon Brown, also had an issue with Kody because he didn’t like the way Kody had treated his mother. He and some of his siblings got tired ofKody’s controlling and selfish behavior, causing them to lose touch with him. Christine’s daughter, Aspyn Brown, also reportedly confronted Kody and asked him why he didn’t like her. Similarly, Meri’s child, Leon Brown, also stopped interacting with Kody because of his beliefs and lack of support. Kody’s daughter,Maddie Brown, and several of his other adult children distanced themselves from himdue to his controversial personality and past behavior.
Garrison’s Passing Hasn’t Fixed Kody’s Relationships
Kody Appears To Have Transformed Into A Caring Dad
In March 2024, Kody andJanellefaced a devastating loss when their son, Garrison, passed away. This heartbreaking eventsparked a transformation within Kody, motivating him to become a more attentive father. Kody made a conscious effort to mend his relationships with his children, striving to rekindle lost connections. As showcased inSister Wivesseason 19, Kody set out to reclaim his role as a nurturing father. Unfortunately, it appears thatKody’s efforts to repair his relationshipswith his kids haven’t been successful. In fact, some of his children have publicly stated that they have distanced themselves from him.
In recent months,Paedonhas consistently criticized Kody in his interviews and on TikTok, openly expressing his disinterest in maintaining a stable relationship with his father. He has indicated that the possibility of rebuilding their father-son bond is almost zero.Maddie has chosen to remain mostly silent on her relationship with Kody, displaying a lack of interestin fostering a connection with him. Similarly, Kody’s other children, including Leon and Gabriel, appear to be distant from him. It seems that they are uninterested in reconciling with him, likely due to their busy lives.
Which Brown Children Would Be Most Open To Calm Things With Kody?
Logan & Aspyn May Reconcile With Kody
Although Kody hasn’t made significant progress with all of his children, there is a possibility that he may mend his relationship with a select few who may be more willing to forgive him. For instance, Christine’s daughter,Aspyn, has shown that she still harbors some care for Kody. In a previous encounter, she directly questioned Kody about his feelings towards her, indicating a sense of concern. While she may be open to reconciling with Kody in the future, she remains cautious due to Kody’s treatment of her siblings and mother.
Kody’s other daughter, Mykelti Brown, may also be open to reconciling with him.
Unlike some of the other kids, Mykelti appears to be diplomatic and has remained relatively neutral amid family drama. She likely doesn’t appreciate family feuds, which suggests that she might be able to find a way to make things work with her father. Kody’s older son, Logan Brown, may also be open to having a relationship with him.Being the oldest in the family and more private, Logan may be emotionally matureenough to understand that reconciling with Kody while maintaining a respectful distance is possible.
How Much Of Kody’s Falling Out Is Robyn’s Fault?
Robyn Isn’t The Only One To Blame
It’s evident that Kody’s affection for Robyn had a significant influence on his other relationships. As a result, it’s reasonable to assume that Robyn played a role in causing problems within the family, particularly between Kody and his other kids. However, it won’t be fair to solely blame Robyn for Kody’s disconnection from his children. In reality, Kody’s previous actions and hismistreatment of his former wives are likely the primary reasons for his strained relationship with the childrenwho once held him in high regard.
Over the years, many of Kody’s children have expressed concerns about his favoritism towards Robyn. Some, like Garrison and Gabriel, have pointed out this bias, blaming Kody for being a neglectful father. Gabriel even broke down on camera, crying because Kody had forgotten his birthday. It’s understandable to see why kids like Paedon and others would blame Kody and see Robyn as the main reason for the division in their family. However, it’sKody’s actions that have caused him to lose touch with his kids, as Robyn never forced him to prioritize her over the otherSister Wives.
