As a seasoned observer of the human condition, I find myself deeply moved by the stories unfolding within the Brown family. The trials and tribulations they face are not unique to them, but rather reflect the complexities and challenges that many families experience in our modern world.
Robyn Brown‘s eldest daughters aren’t so sure their love should be multiplied.
During a conversation with her mother about considering multi-partner marriages as seen on Sister Wives‘ December 8 episode, 22-year-old Aurora Brown admitted to Robyn (now Kody Brown’s only remaining spouse), “I don’t feel the same strong pull towards it that you and Dad did or do.
Breanna Brown, Aurora’s 19-year-old sister, had similar doubts about sharing her brother-in-law’s affection in the future.
She admitted having mixed feelings, but at the moment, she’s leaning towards no. She’s uncertain if she wants to embrace that way of life.
Robyn, who is a mother to Dayton (24), Solomon (13), and Ariella (8), admitted that her children might have been influenced by witnessing Kody separating from his initial three spouses. In 2021, Christine Brown announced the end of their marriage, followed by Janelle Brown and Meri Brown. However, she expressed, “The turmoil our family has experienced, with everything disintegrating, I believe it’s more due to the personal issues of the individuals, rather than the concept of plural marriage.
Either way, Kody suspects that none of his 18 children will say yes to polygamy.
He mused, “I believe none of my children will engage in multiple marriages. It’s conceivable if one of my daughters wished to marry a man who is already married, but I doubt the lifestyle we’ve shown them would encourage such a choice.
In a straightforward manner, the individual who previously expressed his belief that love should grow rather than diminish, stated, “To be honest, I wouldn’t prefer my daughters to be part of a plural marriage. I also doubt that any of my sons are inclined towards plural marriage.
In fact, many of the Brown children have already said “I do” to just one spouse.
In the years of 2016, 2018, and 2022, several marriages took place among the daughters of Janelle, Christine, and Meri. Madison Brush, daughter of Janelle, tied the knot with her husband Caleb Brush in 2016, followed closely by Mykelti Padron, daughter of Christine, who married Tony Padron in the same year. Aspyn Thompson, eldest daughter of Christine, had her wedding to Mitch Thompson in 2018. In 2022, Logan Brown, eldest child of Janelle, married Michelle Petty, his longtime girlfriend, and Meri’s child, Leon Brown, quietly wed Audrey Kriss in a Colorado courthouse.
Most recently, Gwendyln Queiroz held her nuptials to Beatriz Queiroz last year.
As for Robyn’s brood, her eldest girls are eager to follow their siblings down the aisle.
Breanna shared that she’s looking to connect with men who share similar beliefs and aspirations as hers, which led her to seek a new church. She believes this could be an excellent starting point in her search.
Whether that life goal includes having sister wives, though, remains to be seen.
As an ardent admirer, if Breanna were to share a testimony and express her belief in plural marriage as her chosen path, I’d respond with understanding, saying something like, “Well, alright then!” However, should she choose differently, that would be perfectly fine too. Absolutely, it’s okay either way.
In their current season, the family’s view on polygamy is merely one of many insights they’ve disclosed. Continue reading to gather all the juicy details the large family has revealed lately.
Kody Brown expressed his readiness to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, soon after their wedding in 1990. However, according to Meri, who spoke during the September 15 premiere, “Kody made me think he would work on things by saying, ‘Oh Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a fresh start for us.'” She implied that Kody had often led her to believe such promises. “This is a pattern he’s followed for many years.
She expressed her primary concern as his inconsistent communication about his feelings, desires, dislikes, and the narrative he has maintained over the years.
Kody admitted there could have been some confusing signals, but as he began working on projects, he found himself wondering, “What’s the point?” He clarified that he wouldn’t pursue a relationship with her at this time.
Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023.
She admitted, “They essentially said, ‘We’re with you, we’re on your side. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now realizes that for years he had been trying to convince her to leave by claiming he didn’t care about her deeply, “As if, if I could be made to leave, he wouldn’t appear as the villain because he didn’t depart first.
Many years having passed since our family acquired the 14-acre property in Flagstaff, Ariz., intended for building, I admitted during the season’s opening episode that it was time to let go of our dream. Struggling to construct without fully settling the $820,000 cost (a debt reportedly paid off in 2023), I shared with my wife Robyn Brown, “I’d almost prefer to abandon or sell it and then begin anew somewhere else.
As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”
Previously, Janelle Brown shared with TopMob News that the relationship was gradually fading, but it was mainly Kody’s shortcomings as a parent towards certain children that led her to make the decision to depart.
The mom shared with Logan Brown, Madison Brown Brush, Hunter Brown, Garrison Brown, Gabriel Brown, and Savanah Brown that the turning point for her was when his relationship with my kids fell apart and it didn’t seem like he was willing to go to great lengths to mend it. She added, “That’s what I realized was keeping me here.
In the Nov. 3 episode, when Kody floated the suggestion of reconciliation, it was as good as a closed door for me, Janelle. I’m so invested in our relationship that any hint of discord sends shivers down my fan-heart!
She stated that she finds it impossible to make amends with him without him having no connection with her children. However, she has made up her mind to prioritize her children over any reconciliation efforts.
Kody provided the reason behind his lack of effort in repairing the strained relationships with some of his grown-up kids, due to the issues they were having.
In the September 15th episode, he expressed his feelings of not belonging within the family anymore. Despite being legally married to Robyn and jointly raising their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he mentioned that he has limited contact with some of the other kids. Feeling overwhelmed by these complex relationships, he questioned, “What am I supposed to do with all of this? It doesn’t feel like a family.
Even though they were sincerely monogamous for the first time in their 14-year marriage, Robyn admitted in the season premiere that things have been particularly difficult between them. “It’s been a struggle,” she said. “Kody isn’t sure who to blame, himself or one of his other spouses. He feels rejected, and I think he’s worried that I might reject him too.
As a consequence, she admitted, “I’m constantly vigilant. I have to frequently ensure that he isn’t undermining our relationship.” The most challenging aspect, as she concluded: “There’s no guidance available for the notion that I’m still wed to a man who is going through multiple divorces.
In the meantime, Kody struggled with self-doubt, expressing, “I find it hard to face my reflection and tell myself sincerely, ‘Hi there, I really appreciate you.’
In the October 27 episode, Robyn reflected that it seemed as though her ex-sister wives were progressing into a new phase of their lives. She remarked, “They’re all moving forward,” and felt like she was the one who had been left behind.
Add Madison, Janelle’s eldest daughter, to the list of children who are currently not in a relationship with Kody. According to Janelle, they haven’t had any direct communication recently. “Maddie hasn’t talked to her father,” she clarified during the premiere. “Neither has he contacted her, nor has she reached out to him. As it stands now, she doesn’t have a relationship with Kody or Robin. Essentially, she has distanced herself from both of them.
Janelle pointed out that Kody is maintaining a less-than-committed relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. She expressed that Kody would only be allowed regular contact if he could fully commit to it.
Consequently, during the September 22 episode, Janelle revealed that Kody had essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush when the family began to significantly disintegrate.
In Janelle’s words, since Kody hasn’t been around or in touch, Maddie has been exceptionally protective and motherly. She expressed that until Kody can be reliable and present without causing a scene, she feels it’s best to keep their relationship under wraps.
Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to reconcile, and she expressed, “It seems only fair that the children should also make an effort to heal the rift as well.
Currently, it appears as if Kody isn’t prepared to mend the estrangement, expressing frustration that each conversation with his daughter turned into a source of gossip, which left him feeling weary.
During their 32nd anniversary celebration, “He hinted that he never truly loved me and felt compelled to marry me,” Meri confided in her friend Brandi during the September 15th premiere. “To which I responded, ‘Kody,’ I said, ‘I know you cared for me.’
And if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose?
When a solitary young individual encounters another solitary young person, what could make him decide to marry her and simply pledge and compel feelings for her when he didn’t have any? This seems so heartless! To single me out amongst many others and then declare, ‘I choose you, in the hope of forcing myself to love you for the next three decades?’
In his personal reflection, Kody stated: “Meri is making some allegations. Well, let her say what she pleases. I won’t be responding to them.
Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.
He emphatically stated during the October 20th episode that their marriage was in constant turmoil throughout its entirety. His certainty stemmed from the fact that he enjoyed much closer relationships with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
He acknowledged that he “ought to have ended the relationship a quarter-century back,” yet he remained due to fear, pointing out, “Authority figures would never permit remarriage if you’re jettisoning spouses.
Despite being unsure whether to develop on Coyote Pass or sell it, Janelle realized that the first move was clearing the debt on the Arizona property. With Kody refusing to discuss the matter, she admitted to ex-sister wife Christine Brown in the September 22 episode that “I believe I’ll need a lawyer,” explaining, “I think that’s the only way I’ll ever be able to get any kind of resolution from him.
Janelle admitted that since she doesn’t have a legal marriage with Kody, “I simply don’t possess any legal grounds to assert any claim on his property.” In her own words, “It’s not as simple as calling a lawyer and filing for divorce. Instead, it’s quite complex because there’s no legally binding marriage in the first place.
Kody’s reason for avoiding conversations with Janelle regarding the Arizona property is because he no longer feels secure in trusting her.
He firmly stated during the September 22 episode that we will settle the property when necessary, and he prefers to keep the specifics of his actions to himself because he’s grown tired of sharing details that get distorted by the rumor mill within our fractured family.
A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview.
She conveyed, “He shares everything as if he were a leaky bucket.” This means that he seems to tell her details of his past relationships with his other partners, which she found inappropriate.
In days when their affection for each other continued to grow instead of dwindle, they would combine their funds into a common fund.
On the September 22nd episode, Janelle explained that they would put all their resources towards helping one individual first, followed by everyone coming together to support another person – this was how things had always been until around the last decade. However, now it seems to be more about personal estates and everyone wanting their own.
When I learned that my dear friend Robyn was seeking a new home in Arizona, I joined forces with others to make her dream come true by purchasing a stunning $1.65 million five-bedroom property – a listing we snapped up this past August.
Initially, Robyn mentioned that the property would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all be joint mortgage holders, she faced objection. Kody responded, “‘No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, protect Robyn’s assets,'” as Janelle remembered. Now, with her departure from the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.
But that could be a tough sell.
In response, Robyn remarked, “We’ve collaborated for quite a while now,” she said. And with Janelle mentioning she’s due money from them, Robyn expressed, “It’s just…how do you quantify it? How does one come to that conclusion? It’s all so perplexing.
Janelle expressed frustration about the family’s failure to repay Coyote Pass, stating that Kody mentioned having numerous other debts. However, she observed him acquiring other possessions such as trailers and home decorations. “I notice all the art on Robyn and Kody’s walls,” she said. “I see all these things. And it’s understandable because I too have spent money on similar items.” (In response, Kody stated that a large portion of his funds were invested in purchasing cars—”Basically, I had a collection”—and insurance for the children.)
Janelle admitted she hadn’t known the details about Kody and Robyn managing their finances, but she would often be taken aback by how well-maintained Robyn’s backyard was. It always looked finished, and there were plenty of items at her house. This made Janelle exclaim, “Wow. Huh.
Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t value her needs or desires, which became increasingly frustrating for her over time. At some point, even her grown children noticed and voiced their concern, saying something like, “Mom, what’s going on?
In her viewpoint, Robyn became quite cautious with her finances following the breakdown of her initial marriage.
In the September 22 episode, she admitted, “I wasn’t very good with finances in the past.” Growing up, she experienced some tough times and it was during her divorce that she learned to manage her funds exceptionally well through budgeting. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she explained, “It seems like you prioritized your money differently than I did.
Currently, as revealed in the September 22 episode, Janelle admitted that when she and Christine (mother of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) gather with their families, there is little to no interaction taking place between them and Meri or Robyn, nor does Kody. Janelle doesn’t anticipate this situation will improve significantly in the future.
Speaking about their period living on a cul-de-sac with four homes in Las Vegas, Kody described it as “the best phase of my life.” He went on to explain that things were running smoothly, and having Maddie and Caleb nearby made it even better. Additionally, he shared his fondness for Caleb, stating that he felt like family towards him.
However, tensions rose in Arizona due to disagreements about coronavirus safety measures. Later, when his marital relationships deteriorated, he lamented that this led to strained connections with his children: “This only worsened all our relationships.
But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021.
On the September 22nd episode, she remarked that the children who seemed frustrated had been feeling that way long before she departed, suggesting that her departure did not affect their relationship with Kody. In essence, Kody has the opportunity to mend his relationships with his kids.
Though it’ll definitely take some work.
Kody shared, “I’ve been deeply hurt by how I’ve been treated, and it’s left me unable to move on from it. I can’t accept blame for actions that my wife or ex-wife are accusing me of, things I didn’t do. I hope one day the resentment will fade away so we can find forgiveness and rediscover love.
At the age of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri got married, both spiritually and legally, without knowing each other very well. Later on, they filed for divorce in 2014 so that Kody could legally adopt Robyn’s three older children from her previous marriage.
When we got married, she seemed different to me, and I believe there were some issues from her past (baggage) that I wasn’t aware of. Initially, I thought I could handle it. However, he admitted that everything was always a struggle, stating, “I can’t live in a situation where she is constantly upset with me.
As a devoted admirer, I found myself trapped in an intricate bond, as Kody, a man bound in plural marriage, explained: “If one wishes to remain loyal and steadfast in our faith, a divorce is not an option. It’s forbidden. Consequently, I was unable to escape this relationship. Yet, it wasn’t that I yearned to depart from the relationship; rather, I sought answers – could we mend, heal, and salvage it?
Therefore, due to the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they were together, Kody stated, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t enjoyable, she wasn’t considerate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to be interested in her, but I’m growing tired.
In his opinion, it’s understandable that Meri might feel neglected, but he clarified that he wasn’t the one who forced her out; instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri made the decision for him to depart from our shared living space.
Despite the fact that Janelle and Christine believed their union with Kody wasn’t legally binding, it was Meri who sought a formal separation from their church, referred to as a “release,” towards the end of 2022.
In the September 22nd episode, she clarified that all four of us had a church ceremony when we married Kody. Technically, we couldn’t have legal marriages, but it was what we referred to as a covenant. Since we aren’t planning any future marriages and I don’t want to be bound to him for eternity if he doesn’t desire me, I believe it’s best to end this covenant completely. In other words, I want to fully separate ourselves from this union.
Kody hesitated on the suggestion, expressing that she didn’t feel comfortable accepting the leadership of the church officials.
Kody clarified his position: “The harm was so profound that there’s no chance of reconciliation. As for accountability to God, I don’t want that responsibility extended to this church and its complications. So, I plan to let Meri pursue her own path because if I’m upset with her, it would lead to conflict. frankly, I just want her to move on because it seems like she’s been stuck in the past for a long time.
A 2021 holiday gift exchange conversation took an unpleasant turn for the 18 Brown children, as Christine explained. “Things went awry, things fell apart,” she summarized. “Kody and Robyn, along with their kids, were on one side, completely distancing themselves from Janelle, me, and our children. This text exchange led to a division in the group after that.
In Robyn’s perspective, her three eldest children perceived the encounter as not emotionally secure and decided it would be best for them to distance themselves from the relationship, at least temporarily. However, she emphasized that this wasn’t indicative of a desire to sever all ties or refuse future interactions: “It’s more like, ‘Oops, this got messy,’ rather than ‘We never want to see you again and have nothing to do with you.’
For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.
“The thing I want most is to just have a relationship with Robyn’s children again,” he confessed in the Oct. 13 episode. “In middle school, Aurora was my favorite person to hang out with. And in high school, I would always try to hit Dayton up. But I’m, I’m not hopeful for a relationship with Dad And Robyn.”
Aurora firmly stated that she had been informed on numerous occasions, by various individuals, that she wasn’t welcomed into the family at the time of her mother’s marriage to Kody in 2010. She was told that she wasn’t considered their sister, and they didn’t perceive or regard her as such.
Her sister, Breanna, expressed that she believed the parents could’ve made more efforts to strengthen our family bond, but unfortunately, that connection wasn’t established effectively.
But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.
Robyn’s children and Robyn themselves were always invited to all events,” she emphasized. “To put it simply, they are more than welcome to drop by our home whenever they wish.
Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and for a while, Mykelti Brown Padron lived with them. She explained, “There were challenging periods, and my kids felt exasperated at times, but they viewed Robyn’s children as siblings just the same.
Speaking enthusiastically about the freedom she experienced, Janelle expressed her thoughts on plural marriage by saying, “When it works well, you’re part of an incredible family structure and connected community. You have a strong bond with your husband, yet you also retain all your independence. To me, that’s what makes plural marriage such a fantastic setup.
Kody, however, wouldn’t say “I do” to polygamy again.
In his view, shared during the December 1st episode, polygamy tends to hinder emotional intimacy. He argued that it creates a defensive atmosphere, making it challenging to establish the emotionally open, intimate connections he seeks with a woman. Such depth of connection, he believes, is less likely to be found in polygamous relationships.
2018 marked the year I found myself uprooted from our Las Vegas home and transplanted to Arizona, according to Janelle’s account. However, it was Kody’s feelings about dividing his love that seemed more tumultuous during this transition.
On the September 29th episode, it was observed that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it more manageable to stay apart. Occasionally, I had to remind him of our arrangement and convince him to visit my home. He’d often make excuses about being tired, but I would gently tell him, “You can rest just as comfortably at my house as you can at Robyn’s.
Janelle pointed out that her kids experienced a sense of distance from Robyn, as they were often reprimanded if they dared to open her refrigerator. On the other hand, Christine’s children felt excluded because they noticed that Robyn was their father’s partner and he wasn’t physically present in their home.
And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide.
She expressed on the September 29th episode that Meri was welcoming towards both me and my children, but the rest of the family found it difficult to accept us. However, our main desire was to become a part of their family.
However, Gabriel might contend that they went out of their way to integrate their new family members.
In the October 13th broadcast, I expressed my belief that Robyn seems to carry a sense of being a victim, if I may be candid about it. It’s not that I lay blame at her feet for this, rather, it appears that various individuals employ distinct tactics to navigate life’s challenges.
Yet, he added, “If she genuinely thinks we mistreated her or her children while she was frequently favored by Dad, and we were consistently nurturing our bond with her kids, and if she truly believes that, then it’s impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Robyn in the future.
As a lifestyle expert, I might rephrase it like this: During a recent broadcast on the 29th of September, I openly discussed how my kids, numbering eighteen and scattered across four households due to my living arrangements, have been impacted by this setup. I shared a poignant moment when my youngest with Robyn, Ariella, born in January 2016, held onto me tightly as I was about to depart, underscoring the emotional bonds that can sometimes get strained in such an arrangement.
Kody expressed, “‘I have another wife who requires me, another mother for her children. I have other kids who need to spend time with me,’ was what I had to convey to her. But she clung to me, crying, ‘Don’t go, Daddy, don’t go.’ It’s tough, really difficult.
Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle.
Initially, she conveyed that her children were fully aware that their father wouldn’t be a constant presence due to his absences. I’ve often felt that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation regarding her children. He couldn’t stay away for more than three or four days at a time because Ari gets so upset, which I consider inadequate parenting. Throughout family history, other kids managed the same circumstances and they turned out to be well-adjusted adults.
Among a small circle of young adults named Brown, Mykelti found herself in a unique position, maintaining close relationships with not only Robyn and Kody but also Christine and her daughter Janelle. During Kody’s periods of divorce, Mykelti stepped up to serve as a mediator, fostering harmony among the group.
Ever since Robyn graced the Brown household, I’ve been smitten! So much so that she was honored with a special invitation to witness the arrival of Mykelti’s twins, Archer and Ace, in November 2022. It’s an unforgettable moment I’ll cherish as a fellow fan!
During the September 29th broadcast, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, she was going through a period of self-discovery and Robyn made her feel valued and seen. At times when I required support, Robyn was present. When I needed someone to listen to me, to care for me, Robyn was there for me.
Christine was overjoyed beyond words when she saw how well Robyn and Mykelti got along. She expressed this during the Oct. 6 episode by saying, “Ever since Robyn joined our family, it’s clear they have a wonderful bond, just as I had always hoped.” She further added, “When I dreamed of having a multi-mother household, I prayed that my children would form strong relationships with their fellow moms.
Kody believes it’s not just his wives who are intentionally excluding him from their lives as a form of retribution for a crime he didn’t perpetrate. As he explained during the October 6 episodes, this is his perspective on his growing distance from some of his older children. He maintains that he is only culpable for not deeply falling in love with their mothers.
What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.
He expressed that the strain in his relationships with his children is predominantly a product of negative comments, stating, “The tumultuousness in our bond can be traced back to all the gossip.” He further explained, “The chaos and upset from the family falling apart seems to have created a vortex of disappointment, and it’s as if everyone is pointing fingers at me, saying, ‘He’s the one who messed up.’
However, although he accepts some of the responsibility, he strongly objects to the insults. In fact, he admitted that he was having trouble bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. Kody disclosed that one of his children replied to a text message by calling him “worthless” and stating they would never communicate again.
In another event, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said to me, ‘You are really selfish. I will no longer speak with you. You have deceived me and conditioned me.’
He’s unwilling to tackle the venomous situation any longer. “I won’t continue extending my hand indefinitely,” he stated, hinting that the grown-ups should step up and take responsibility for resolving issues. “I’m prepared to put forth the effort, but someone else needs to reciprocate and make an effort as well.
For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.
In my childhood years, I experienced the painful reality of my parents’ separation. He resided with another spouse in a different city, while my mother lived independently. I recall an instance where I bravely approached my biological father, asking him about our changed circumstances. His responses were filled with hollow excuses that didn’t explain his absence during my formative years, leaving me feeling empty and disheartened.
I must admit, it was quite challenging for me not to feel a tad let down by your actions, as I value our relationship and your efforts. During our intense conversation that unfolded towards the end of 2022, you expressed, “I’m finding it tough not to feel like I’m losing some respect from you.
Although Kody admitted that he might need to exert more effort to repair his bond with his children, he asserted that healing his own heart is a priority first.
He confided that some of his children seem to be conspiring against him, and he admitted, “I’m so furious about the situation that when I speak to my kids, I fear they might provoke me with a criticism. I’m currently too emotional. All I can do is cause more harm.
Despite many members of their family attending when Logan married Michelle Petty in October 2022, it didn’t seem like there was much affection present among them.
In the October 6th episode, Kody voiced his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he had noticed Madison rushing away her children from him. He pointed out that his daughter hadn’t informed him about her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023, a fact that he was not aware of beforehand. In simpler terms, Kody expressed frustration because he wasn’t told about Madison’s pregnancy.
Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.
In essence, Janelle clarified that Maddie has no connection with Kody, which is why she chose not to interact with him at the wedding. Given her strong sense of parental protection, Maddie feels it’s best for her children since Kody hasn’t been present in their lives since Evie was born, around three-and-a-half years ago. She didn’t want an unexpected visit from Kody where he might claim to be their grandfather, leaving them puzzled and questioning his identity.
Kody expressed that it’s impractical to expect grandparents to always be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, using Maddie’s situation in North Carolina as an example. He pointed out that if you relocate your children to a different coast, maintaining close ties can become challenging, given work and personal commitments in Flagstaff.
It seems that despite the apparent disagreement between Kody and his grown children regarding their current rift, a major issue they can’t seem to find common ground on is his request for an apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing from him.
Following the end of the COVID-19 concerns, we returned to our usual routines, but there remained a divide within our family, as Kody expressed that his sons needed to apologize, specifically to Robyn. He further explained, “It became something more, so they just need to come and have a conversation with me.
According to Janelle, the problem with Kody was that he believed his children didn’t show him loyalty, and moreover, the most cherished member of their family had been treated disrespectfully or unfairly. In essence, she said, “It’s as if the most valuable person here has been taken for granted.” And in response, Janelle stated, “Well, Kody, I don’t know… whatever you say, Kody.
Gabriel expressed a similar sentiment when he narrated his exchange with his father. He stated, “He repeatedly suggested that I should offer an apology.” Later on, he said to Janelle, “I finally told him, ‘Unless you’re genuinely willing to mend our relationship and make amends, we won’t talk anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me. He wrote, ‘Hey, I’ve been thinking over what you’ve said. I forgive you. Please forgive me.'” I responded, “Forgive me for what exactly?
Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, it’s just Savanah that he often interacts with. Although it’s not very frequent, about every couple of months they speak on the phone and occasionally spend time together. The other children don’t have much contact or relationship with him.
Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, it’s her brothers, the seniors, who have assumed a more paternal role in her life. In fact, she’s expressed to Janelle that she might ask them to escort her on her future wedding day.
According to Janelle, she and Savanah discussed the matter, and Savanah explained, “It seems clear to me now that this is his nature.” She continued, “He will likely be a fun dad who visits but may not always stay. I understand him as he is, and I’m okay with it.
Janelle, however, is less forgiving.
She expressed her disappointment and frustration about Kody, saying, “You know, it’s a pattern I’ve noticed. I’ve encountered many women in my professional life who have gone through divorce, only to find that the father disappears from their children’s lives.
Initially, the strain between them, as father and son, hit Gabriel particularly harshly since Kody often invited Gabriel along on his work travels. As stated by Janelle, Kody had been a deeply involved father until fairly recently.
Despite being puzzled about what he might have done to upset his father, Gabriel asserted during the Oct. 13 episode, “If Dad doesn’t change and can’t admit fault, then I simply won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely fine with that decision.
According to Janelle, he finds comfort in the fact that his father isn’t part of his life. In truth, that’s something I wish for all my children as well, and I believe they are gradually reaching that point.
For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation.
He expressed his apologies for how Gabriel seems, adding that he has attempted to reach out to him numerous times, but those attempts were unsuccessful. However, this was not due to any lack of effort on his part.
In late 2022, it was Meri who requested and obtained what their church refers to as a “release,” effectively ending her marriage with Kody, due to alleged abandonment.
She pointed out on October 13th that he dislikes that particular word, as he doesn’t believe he left her. Instead, she feels it was him who departed.
To put it another way, she believes he paid little attention to her until she chose to depart, which enabled him to claim, “I have no involvement in this.
And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy.
