Sister Wives Kody Brown has expressed favoritism of his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, even changing his standards for her after years with others.
Sister Wives star Kody Brown has always shown some favoritism toward his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, but his stance was made even more clear in a recent episode of the series. Kody, who has had separations from his ex-wives Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown over the past two years, has been concentrating on his marriage to Robyn while weighing his options for a new partner. Kody has talked about the potential of courting another woman and taking on more spouses as a longtime supporter of multiple marriage. His faith, the Apostolic United Brethren, is a branch of the Mormon church where plural marriage is a prevalent practice.
While Kody would typically continue to be active in multiple marriage, Robyn hopes to remain faithful now that she has her spouse to herself. Kody’s partiality of Robyn has never been more apparent as the Brown family deals with a whole new level of conflict in Sister Wives season 18. Christine has stated that Kody’s preference for Robyn is one of the reasons she wanted to leave the family, despite the fact that both Robyn and Kody would both dispute the behavior. Janelle and Meri might share the same opinions on the subject, especially in light of the latest Sister Wives episode where Kody’s favoritism was revealed.
Kody Made Rules Against Body Modification For Meri, Janelle, & Christine
Sister Wives star Kody Brown has always shown some favoritism toward his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, but his stance was made even more clear in a recent episode of the series. Kody, who has gone through separations with his ex-wives Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, and Meri Brown in the last 2 years, has been focusing on his marriage to Robyn while trying to decide if he’ll take another wife. As a long-time proponent of plural marriage, Kody has discussed the possibility of courting another woman and taking on more wives. Plural marriage is commonly practiced in his religion, a sect of the Mormon church called Apostolic United Brethren.
While Robyn’s hoping to stay monogamous now that she’s had her husband to herself, traditionally Kody would continue to stay engaged in plural marriage. With Sister Wives season 18 bringing a whole new level of drama to the Brown family, Kody’s favoritism of Robyn has never been more clear. While Kody and Robyn would both deny the behavior, Christine has said that Kody’s favoritism of Robyn is one of the reasons she wanted to leave the family. Janelle and Meri may have similar thoughts on the matter, especially after Kody’s favoritism was exposed in a recent episode of Sister Wives.
Kody Made Rules Against Body Modification For Meri, Janelle, & Christine
In a recent episode of Sister Wives season 18, Kody explained the family’s stance on body modifications like piercings. He shared that early in his life, he was taught by religious leaders that piercings were against God’s word. Meri, in an interview segment of her own, explained that she’d been taught the same and didn’t have her ears pierced. When Kody met Janelle, she had ear piercings but ultimately chose to take them out at Kody’s request, and Christine did the same. He explained that it was simply a religious belief and felt none of his wives or daughters should have piercings.
When Kody Met Robyn, Everything Changed
When Kody and Robyn first began courting in 2010, it was notable that Robyn had pierced ears. While it wasn’t exactly something that would’ve stopped Kody from courting or marrying Robyn, it was definitely notable that he didn’t ask Robyn to remove her earrings like his other wives had done. During Sister Wives season 18 episode 2, Robyn explained that she had a fond memory of getting her ears pierced. Her father took her to have it done, and she looks back on it as a sweet memory, and when she shared this with Kody, he felt it wouldn’t be right to ask her to take her earrings out.
Since then, the Brown family has modified their rules significantly. During the episode, Kody shared that after meeting Robyn and marrying her, he decided that the family should re-evaluate their rules surrounding ear-piercing specifically. Kody’s wives were allowed to re-pierce their ears if desired or put their earrings back in, while their daughters were given the opportunity to get their ears pierced once they turned 18. Kody, who knew Robyn and her father bonded over the experience of going to get her ears pierced, has made sure to make himself a presence in some of his daughters lives for the occasion.
Kody Favors Robyn’s Children Over Any Of His Other Kids
While there hasn’t been outright favoritism of Kody’s children, he’s subtly had favorites for years. During Sister Wives season 18 episode 2, Kody took Aurora Brown, his adopted daughter from Robyn’s previous marriage, to get her ears pierced. In what seemed like a moment of appeasement for Robyn, who had such fond memories of getting her ears pierced with her father, Kody explained that it was a pivotal moment in Aurora’s life. He shared that the family allows their daughters to get their ears pierced after turning 18, but when he was asked about his other daughters piercings, he wasn’t able to remember who else had their ears pierced or if he’d been in attendance.

While showing off the fact that he was being a present, interested father to Aurora, it became clear that Kody didn’t know much about many of his other children. Expecting him to remember which of his older daughters had ear piercings may be a bit much, but Kody wasn’t even able to remember if he had other daughters with piercings. The fact that he didn’t remember proved that he wasn’t in attendance for any of his other daughters’ ear piercings, making it clear that his taking Aurora was more performative than caring. It was likely something he did for Robyn, rather than to make a memory with Aurora.
Robyn Has Always Been Kody’s Biggest Priority
Robyn has always been Kody’s top priority over his previous spouses, even if he has recently prioritized their marriage for obvious reasons. The fact that he has bent the rules for Robyn and their children when he hadn’t thought about doing so in his past marriages is a definite mark against him, even though the emphasis may not necessarily have been major or obvious. It’s likely that the fact that Kody has consistently prioritized one of his wives over the others will be further explored in Sister Wives season 18, which is continuing to focus on his failing relationships.
