Sister Wives star Kody Brown finally confessed on his TLC series that his youngest wife is the love of his life, but he met her many years after taking on three wives and having 13 kids. So, what’s a fella to do?
Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s Ego Drove the Bus
Kody Brown let his life become an open book for the viewers of his reality series. Veteran Sister Wives fans watched his journey from a young father and husband to who he’s become today.
This man turned into a monster in the eyes of some followers. That’s because of how he treats the ladies to whom he has been married for twenty-five years. However, a select few Sister Wives fans believe that he is not solely to blame for the dissolution of his three marriages. Some Sister Wives viewers think about what they’ve discovered about Kody Brown. Kody Brown invited his four wives to meet his childhood pals a few seasons ago.
The group of men and women ribbed him about having four wives. But they seemed to understand why he did this from what they remember about him as a teen. Back in school, they said Kody needed to be the center of attention. So, collecting wives lets him carry on with that behavior. They seemed to think his ego drove the bus for having more than one wife to adore him.
One Mother, One Father…
Kody Brown’s parents didn’t become polygamous until later in life. So, Kody spent his childhood with one set of parents. He was a teenager when his parents, William (Winn) Brown and Genielle Brown, started their polygamous lifestyle. By the age of 24, Kody had three of his Sister Wives brides already. So, he was young. But, going back to what his friends suggest, his ego may have played a big part in this. Kody loved attention, according to his friends, which you can check out in the video below.
Christine Brown was by Kody’s own description, “like royalty” in their church, as her ancestors have deep roots in their religion. So, when she wanted into the family, this spoke to his ego. This was something that Kody admitted on the screen.
Christine Brown and Janelle Brown both enquired about his willingness to marry them. On the Sister Wives show lately, he made a huge deal out of this. This appeared to be his justification for not treating them in the same manner as Robyn Brown.
Two women wanting to become part of his family had to have boosted his ego a little. especially since he believed Christine to be unique within their religion. He did admit that he was rather taken by her history, which was a benefit for being married to her.
When he married Meri Brown, the two only dated for six months before their wedding day. As his first wife, the two agreed upon a polygamous lifestyle, as she grew up with several moms. So, he was a young guy, collecting wives, and it’s possible his ego played into this, as his friends seem to suggest. But fans didn’t need to hear it from his childhood pals, they witnessed the inflation of his ego on the Sister Wives screen.
Sister Wives: Kody Meets Love of His Life
Fans often comment on how immature Kody Brown can be at his age today. So, at 24, when he had his original three wives all under one roof, he was likely even more immature than he is today. While all three of his original wives often said how much they loved him, Kody had a different story. He loved these three ladies differently. And… very differently than his love for Robyn.
One wife he loved because she was his “fun wife,” that’s Christine. One was like his best buddy, which is what he said about Janelle. At the time, he saw Meri as a loyal and genuine wife, which summed up his love for these women. Then a decade and a half later, when Kody was the dad of 13 kids, Robyn Brown entered the picture. This woman he loved for many reasons. Today he calls it “loyalty.” But he couldn’t hide it from his three wives, his adult kids, or even the audience. Kody loves Robyn in a way that he doesn’t love the other three brides.
Not His Fault?
There is once more a group of supporters who continue to support Kody. They believe he discovered Robyn and that the heart desires what the heart desires. Yes, but he has 18 children, and 13 of them appear to suffer as a result of his revelation on his true love. Additionally, he encouraged his three wives to leave him rather than facing his emotions head-on and requesting an amicable divorce. Again, it appears like his ego is getting in the way. He claimed that while he couldn’t leave the spouses, they could. He believed that he would fail in Robyn’s eyes if he started a divorce with any of his spouses.
But as Sister Wives fans watched, they saw that Kody found other ways of asking for a divorce. That’s by pushing the women to leave… and from where the viewers sit, that is just what he did. Yes, Kody Brown couldn’t help falling in love with Robyn. But he didn’t need to blame his wives and kids. Many fans think that he’s done his best to push everyone away except for Robyn and her kids.
Now that this plays out on the TLC series, it’s evident the kids are the ones who really suffer. So, for those who say it’s not all his fault, well others find that hard to swallow. Especially after hearing from the kids how painful it’s been with their father ignoring them while being a father to Robyn’s kids.
