Longtime viewers of Sister Wives are aware that Kody Brown, once the husband to four women, is now only married to his youngest wife, Robyn. The reality television star, who previously practiced polygamy, has seen his familial dynamics shift dramatically.
However, even with just one wife, Kody is not free from marital challenges. In the latest episode of the popular TLC series, both Robyn and Kody candidly discussed the significant strain on their relationship.
During a heartfelt moment on camera, Robyn revealed that Kody’s demeanor changed noticeably after his other wives decided to part ways with him. The first of these separations occurred in 2021, with the rest following soon after.
Robyn Says Kody’s Divorces Took A Toll
In an emotional moment talking to the cameras, Robyn explained that Kody’s mood had shifted ever since the other wives had begun to leave him a few years ago. The first official separation happened in 2021, and the others followed shortly thereafter.
Robyn explained that things with her husband had been up and down for a while, and that the dark moments were especially dark:
We go through these periods where he is back to himself and we are like who we usually are in our relationship and it’s really beautiful, and we’re having a great time, and then something will happen and he’s kind of back to… He reverts back to the angry divorced guy.
By his own admission, Kody confessed to the cameras that there were moments he and Robyn were “fighting for [their] marriage.” He added that the divorces had also put a strain on his relationship with many of his children, and that the situation felt like not just a divorce, but also “more of breakup with the family” as a whole.
Despite the stress on their relationship, however, Kody and Robyn confirmed that they currently do not have plans of splitting up.
Kody Apologized To Robyn For His Past Behavior
Much of this season has focused on Kody’s “apology tour,” where he visits his exes and apologizes for treating them poorly in the past. In the latest episode, Kody realized that the tour hadn’t included Robyn, when perhaps it should’ve:
I haven’t been very fair with you. I’ve been apologizing to everybody in spite of all how brutal they were, but you were never brutal. You were never unkind. You were never disloyal. I’ve been apologizing to everybody. I think I owe you an apology most of all… I apologize for not trusting you, but you have my trust.
Despite calling the years of divorces a “toxic time,” Robyn ultimately said she trusted Kody as well. “Taking accountability for his part in the marriages falling apart, I think, was something that gave him some peace, and it’ll help in his healing,” she told the cameras. “I also just see him just kind of taking a sigh of relief,” she added.
