If you have watched Sister Wives on TLC, the reality show explores the polygamist family of Kody Brown. The reality star has four wives, but here’s the catch. He has only one legal wife but has tied in a spiritual marriage with the rest of his three wives.

From his marriage, Brown is a father of 18 children and has three grandchildren. His father, William Brown, too, was a polygamist with three wives. And this resulted in him having nine siblings.

Here are the details regarding the four wives of Kody Brown.

His First Wife Is Meri Brown

Kody and Meri Brown hit up after his sister introduced the former couple. Soon, their confrontation turned out to be romantic. They got married on April 21, 1990, legally. The former couple has one child, a daughter, Mariah Brown (b. July 29, 1995).

After being together for 24 years, Kody and Meri couldn’t cherish their relationship and divorced on September 25, 2014. He split with Meri to legally marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown.

The recent season of TLC’s Sister Wives (Season 20) saw her tense confrontation with Kody as he seemed to apologize to his ex-wife. According to the exclusive looks of People.com, the duo confronted each other in a heated argument on his ‘apology tour.’

During Season 15, viewers saw Kody and Meri trying to make their relationship work. Despite the emotional therapy sessions, Meri confessed their marriage wasn’t working. The reality star now describes that she and Kody are married spiritually.

Six Kids With Second Wife Janelle Brown

Before Janelle was friends with Kody, she was already friends with his first wife, Meri Brown. She introduced the couple, and soon their friendship turned to the next level. They married spiritually on June 8, 1993.

In the reality show Sister Wives, Janelle confessed that her relationship with Kody wasn’t working out. The viewers were awed by whether their polygamous marriage would survive or not. In the teaser, she exclusively revealed Kody wasn’t acting as her husband.

After 20 seasons on TLC’s Sister Wives, Janelle dropped hints that she might be done with the show. In her lengthy Instagram message on December 21, 2025, the TV personality seemed to have sparked speculation about leaving the show. She wrote:

Leaving the show… leaving a marriage… starting over at an age where everyone expects you to have it all figured out. I kept looking at the pieces and thinking something must be wrong with me.

She further hinted for the new beginning to set her life on her North Carolina farm.

During her relationship with Kody, they welcomed six children. Two are daughters named Savanah and Madison, and four are sons, Logan, Garrison, Gabriel, and Hunter.

Dramatic Split With Third Wife Christine Brown

Christine’s sister introduced her to Kody Brown, and the ex-couple married spiritually on March 25, 1994. They have six kids: Paedon, Aspyn, Mykelti, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely.

During Season 16 of TLC’s Sister Wives, Christine vocalized that she doesn’t feel safe in her marriage. On November 2, 2021, she took to Instagram to announce the dramatic split between her and Kody. After being together for more than two decades, they separated due to mutual differences.

Season 17 of TLC’s Sister Wives, which premiered on September 11, 2022, further highlights the split between Kody and Christine. After her breakup, Christine says that she is now only interested in monogamy.

Married Legally To His Fourth Wife, Robyn Brown

Robyn was a single mother to three kids when she and Kody met in 2009. After spending some time together, the couple married spiritually on May 22, 2010. They were married legally in December 2014.

Through the years, their relationship grew strong among his other three wives. The COVID pandemic even brought them closer as Kody became a babysitter to his kids. Although Robyn finds it difficult to adjust to polygamous marriage, she feels like she was living in a monogamous marriage during the pandemic.
