Is Kody Brown Seeking Another Wife After Robyn’s Disappointment with Monogamy in Sister Wives? Exploring What’s Best for Their Family

Following Robyn Brown’s heartfelt reflection on the decline of polygamy within her family dynamic on Sister Wives, the possibility that she and Kody Brown may seek another wife has emerged. However, one must ponder if this is truly what’s best for them. The 19th season of Sister Wives, airing between September 2024 and February 2025 across 20 episodes, depicted a family in disarray. The departure of Christine Brown from Kody in November 2021 was compounded by Janelle Brown’s exit in December 2022, with Meri being the last of the original wives to leave in January 2023.

The underlying issues stemmed from Kody’s apparent favoritism towards Robyn, particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Robyn has been visibly distressed over the disintegration of the plural family she joined, while Kody has often deflected accountability. His dismissive mantra, “Blame yourself if I don’t love you,” encapsulates his perspective. Throughout season 19, significant changes unfolded: Christine entered a new marriage, Meri moved on with her life, and Janelle relocated to North Carolina. These departures left Robyn feeling abandoned, and Kody exhibiting a surprising acceptance of a monogamous lifestyle.

Kody’s Contentment with Monogamy

Kody’s Healing Journey

Kody has openly stated that he felt no love towards Meri, Christine, or Janelle, instead expressing that Robyn is his true love and primary focus. This prioritization has alienated the feelings of the other wives. It appears that Kody is reconciling the reality of his lost plural family by criticizing his former spouses while simultaneously positioning them as unfit partners. This behavior suggests that Kody is compensating for the demise of his polygamist dreams by immersing himself wholly in his relationship with Robyn.

Although it’s surprising, Kody genuinely seems satisfied with this monogamous arrangement.

When Robyn became part of the Brown family, it was not just love at first sight with Kody that drew her in; it was also her aspiration to belong to a large, supportive family network. Although she did not grow up in a polygamous setting, she has expressed appreciation for the sisterhood that accompanies it, even if her bond with the other wives, apart from Meri, was limited. Throughout season 19, Robyn has voiced her sadness over the loss of the plural family and consistently probed Kody regarding the potential for rekindling relationships with Janelle or Meri.

Looking ahead, Sister Wives will unveil season 20 in Spring 2025. In a concluding preview of season 19, Robyn and Kody were shown dining out, with Robyn asking, “Do you ever sit there and wish we were in a plural relationship?”Her introspection continued during a subsequent interview.

“The question in my head is like ‘Are we gonna try to live plural marriage again?'”

This suggests that Robyn is not ready to abandon the notion of polygamy and may indeed encourage Kody to pursue another wife.

It is increasingly apparent that Kody is devoted to ensuring Robyn’s happiness. Given her dissatisfaction with their monogamous arrangement while he appears content, it is likely that Kody may explore the idea of courting another wife to make Robyn feel fulfilled. Robyn’s longing for the past is palpable, and Kody seems sensitive to this need.

I suspect that Kody’s desire to please Robyn will lead him to become more receptive to the idea of embracing polygamy once again.

Is This a Sound Decision?

It’s evident that Kody has struggled to maintain a harmonious relationship within a plural marriage. Even if he and Robyn decide to rekindle a polygamous lifestyle, it seems unlikely that Kody will alter his behavior to accommodate a new partner beyond Robyn. The complexities of polygamy have already strained his previous marriages, with his deep affection for Robyn playing a significant role in that struggle.

As season 20 unfolds, I anticipate that Kody and Robyn will engage in extensive discussions regarding the possibility of seeking another wife, largely influenced by Robyn’s desires. However, I remain skeptical about the success of this endeavor, as Kody has seemingly found contentment in his monogamous situation. His unhealed wounds from past conflicts may render any attempt at expanding their family dynamic fraught with challenges.
