Sister Wives season 18 documents the breakdown of Kody’s relationship with some of his wives. However, which of them is still with Kody?
Season 18 of Sister Wives has focused on the dissolution of Kody Brown’s marriage to his wives, however not all of them are still with him. When TLC’s Sister Wives debuted in 2010, Kody and his four wives, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Robyn Brown, along with their polygamous family, rose to fame on reality television. Fans followed Kody and his wives as they raised their children and overcame relationship difficulties for ten years. But just as the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 had a significant global impact, it also had a significant impact on Kody’s marriage to his wives.
Kody’s decision to spend almost 15 months at Robyn’s house while neglecting his other wives exposed the relationship cracks and resentment that had been suppressed in the Brown family for years. After years of trying to hold on to the marriage, Christine Brown became the first wife to leave Kody in Sister Wives season 17. While the season also hinted at more problems for Kody and his other wives, fans have had to wait to see it play out on the screens. Although there have been many more relationship breakdowns between Kody and his remaining wives, fans are only just watching it on the much anticipated Sister Wives season 18.
Kody Has Three Wives Left In Season 18 (But Not Offscreen)
Despite the fact that Sister Wives season 18 didn’t begin until 20 August 2023, Showbiz Cheatsheet reports that the creators are using material up to November 2021. Only Christine had left Kody at the time of the film utilized for Sister Wives season 18. On-screen, Kody continued to be wed to Robyn, Meri, and Janelle. Off-screen, Robyn is Kody’s only remaining wife as of the Sister Wives season 18 premiere.
In December 2022, Janelle revealed she and Kody had been separated for months during the Sister Wives: One-on-One special. A month later, Meri and Kody released a joint statement announcing they had decided to permanently terminate their marriage. Nonetheless, Sister Wives season 18 will explore the breakdown of Kody’s relationship with his two wives, Janelle and Meri, and the impact of Christine’s exit from the family.
Will Kody & Robyn Stay Together?
After Robyn joined the Brown family as Kody’s fourth wife, she gradually took over as the patriarch’s favorite wife. She had no issues monopolizing Kody’s time and affection, further affecting his relationship with the other wives. Robyn enjoyed being the center of attention and lording it over the other wives. However, since Meri, Janelle, and Christine have all left, Robyn has found herself in a monogamous marriage to Kody.
Although having Kody to herself could have been her ultimate dream, Robyn might grow bored with the marriage if she has no one to compete with. Since the start of Sister Wives season 18, Robyn has frequently expressed her disappointment at the departures of her co-wives. She has also spoken about Kody’s emotional instability following the departure of his previous wife. Robyn hasn’t showed any signs that she’ll leave the marriage like Janelle, Meri, and Christine, but it’s unclear how much longer she’ll be able to hold on.
