Sister Wives' Kody Brown's Marriage Struggles Exposed!

Currently, Robyn Brown, a cast member of “Sister Wives,” is optimistic that the toughest months of her and Kody Brown’s marriage are now in the past.

However, during that particular episode on April 20th of the TLC reality show, the mother of five candidly stated, “For a time, he was difficult, and I needed to clarify to him, ‘You were quite grumpy and uncooperative.’

For the family’s elder, a significant source of worry arose when his wife, Christine Brown, declared their separation in November 2021, prompting Janelle Brown and Meri Brown to depart shortly afterward as well.

Occasionally, you may find yourself questioning, ‘Does her divorce make me less valuable to her? Since I was the one who was left, do you still desire me in the same way?’ This is how Kody described his relationship with Robyn, whom he married in 2010. “When they left, they took a piece of my self-assurance, and I’m left feeling exposed and foolish.

It appears that an individual who may not be the wisest is deeply smitten, seemingly implying a strong affection towards the man who has 18 children and his current spouse, while treading cautiously with the term “soulmate.

In a previous phase of his life, when he was married to his three other spouses, Robyn acknowledged that he had used the phrase before. “I came to understand how deeply mistaken I was,” he admitted. “So, I believe it could be acceptable for you to be my soulmate, but not vice versa.

Either way, Robyn feels grateful to have gotten through the roughest patch in their 15-year union.

During the April 20th broadcast, Robyn clarified, “Kody and I have put in a significant amount of effort to ensure our relationship remained intact amidst all the separations. Kody came to believe that my problems with him stemmed from his lack of multiple spouses.

However, even though multiple marriages were his ultimate aim, she emphatically stated, “Splitting from him never diminished his worth in my eyes.” In other words, “I don’t view him as any less valuable because of the separation.

She really just wanted the Arizona resident to be a little nicer.

“What I struggled with was how he was treating me,” she stressed, “and how he was acting.”

After he seems to be feeling better, she commented, “It appears Kody is recovering,” she said. “I’m simply proud of us for making it through.

Regarding returning to the multi-spousal lifestyle of polygamy, Robyn admitted she was unsure if she would choose it again. She stated that if given another chance, she would need an assurance that things would turn out favorably and that she could maintain relationships with any future spouses Kody might marry.

Though at this point, Kody isn’t looking to entangle himself with any other brides.

On the show’s December 1st episode, he expressed his viewpoint: “Polygamy stifles emotional intimacy.” He went on to explain, “It creates defensiveness in everyone. I yearn for a deeply emotional and intimate relationship with a woman, but such a connection is hard to find in polygamous unions.

In this season alone, they’ve revealed one of their confessions among many. Stick around to discover more secrets they’ve recently disclosed.

Kody Brown expressed his intention to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after they exchanged vows in 1990. However, as he had done for several years, he gave her hope by stating, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will provide a fresh start for us.” This is what she shared during the September 15 premiere, hinting at their 2018 relocation. “He led me to believe that he would address issues. Unfortunately, this is just another instance of him doing the same thing for many years.

She mentioned that her primary concern is his poor communication, specifically about his true feelings, desires, dislikes, and the narrative he has been presenting throughout the years.

Kody admitted there could have been unclear signals, but as he delved into tasks, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point?” He clarified that at present, he wouldn’t pursue a relationship or romance with her.

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’ve got your back. It’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now believes that for years he had been encouraging her to leave by claiming he didn’t love her, “As if, if I could be pushed out and depart on my own accord, then he wouldn’t be the villain since he never walked away.

A number of years following the acquisition of a 14-acre property in Flagstaff, Ariz., intended for building, Kody admitted during the season premiere that he was prepared to see the dream wither away. Since they couldn’t construct without settling the entire $820,000 cost (which reports suggest was paid off in 2023), he expressed this sentiment to his remaining wife, Robyn Brown: “I think it would be better if we either abandon it or sell it and then restart somewhere else.

As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”

As an over-the-moon fanatic, let me share my spin on the situation: Just like Janelle Brown herself admitted to TopMob News, our bond slowly started fading away. However, it was Kody’s shortcomings as a parent towards some of our kids that ultimately drove me to make the difficult decision to part ways.

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 children deteriorated, and it didn’t appear as though he would go to great lengths to mend it. She added, “That was what kept me tethered here, but then I realized, yes, that was it.

In the November 3rd episode, Kody suggested the possibility of reconciliation, but for Janelle, it was an absolute no-go.

She stated, “I can’t imagine finding a way for us to make up and him not being part of my children’s lives. My decision is clear: I will always prioritize my kids.

Kody provided his reasoning behind not exerting more effort to reconcile the strained relationships he had with some of his grown-up kids, due to the issues they were facing together.

In the Sept. 15 episode, expressing his feelings, I shared that I no longer seem to belong within our family unit. Despite being legally married to Robyn and jointly raising our five beautiful children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – my connections with some of the other kids are sporadic at best. This leaves me feeling uncertain about how I should navigate this complex situation. It’s not that it feels like a family to me anymore.

Even though they’ve been genuinely monogamous for the first time in their 14-year marriage in this instance, Robyn admitted in the season premiere that things have been particularly challenging. “Things have been hard between us,” she said. “Kody doesn’t know if he should blame himself or one of the other wives. He feels a lot of rejection and I think he wonders if I might reject him too.

She admitted, “I’m constantly vigilant. I have to keep checking he’s not undermining our relationship.” In her own words, she expressed the most challenging aspect: “There’s no support system for dealing with the fact that I’m still married to a man who’s in the process of multiple divorces.

Meanwhile, Kody was grappling with a wave of self-doubt, confessing, “I find it hard to face my reflection and tell myself, ‘Hi there, buddy. I adore you.’

For Robyn, it was challenging to witness her ex-sister wives thriving in their latest phase. As she put it during the October 27 broadcast, “They’re all advancing, while I seem to be the one who’s been overlooked.

Add Madison, Janelle’s eldest child, to the list of kids Kody isn’t currently in contact with. As it turns out, Maddie hasn’t spoken to her father for a while, according to Janelle’s statement during the premiere. “He hasn’t called her, she hasn’t contacted him either,” she explained. “Their relationship is non-existent at this point.” Madison seems to have cut ties with both Kody and Robin.

Janelle stated that the matter at hand revolves around Kody not fully engaging in a relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. Essentially, she feels that he should only maintain contact if he is willing to make a firm commitment towards it.

Consequently, during the September 22 broadcast, Janelle mentioned that Kody had essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband Caleb Brush when the family began to disintegrate significantly.

Without Kody being present or in contact, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as stated by Janelle. She feels that until he can reliably appear without causing a fuss, it might be best for everyone if they remain unaware of his existence.

Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to take steps to repair their relationship. She added, “It seems only fair that the children should also extend their efforts in this direction as well.

Currently, it appears as though Kody isn’t inclined to mend the rift. He’s been expressing frustration, stating that whenever he converses with his daughter, the conversations seem geared towards gossip, which has grown tiresome for him.

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi on the September 15th broadcast that “He hinted at not having genuinely loved me and feeling as if he was obligated to marry me.” In response, she told Kody, “‘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?

She pondered, “Why would a bachelor decide to marry a spinster without feeling any affection towards her initially? It seems so heartless! To select her among many others, only to say, ‘I choose you, and I will try to make myself fall in love with you for the next three decades’?

In his personal reflection, Kody stated: “Well, Meri is airing some criticisms. Alright, let her speak as she pleases. I won’t be adding my thoughts to the mix.

Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.

He emphatically stated during the October 20th episode, “Our marriage was in trouble from the start,” to which he attributed his knowledge by having “much stronger relationships” with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.

25 years back, I should’ve walked away from that relationship, yet fear held me back. After all, they say leadership wouldn’t approve another marriage if you keep jettisoning spouses.

In my recent musings, I found myself pondering whether I should develop Coyote Pass or opt for a sale. However, I realized that the first and most crucial step was to settle the Arizona property debt. Alas, Kody remains unresponsive in addressing this matter, leaving me with few options. As I shared with my dear former sister wife, Christine Brown, during our recent conversation, “I believe I’ll need to seek legal counsel.” It seems that might be the only avenue for extracting a decision from him regarding our current situation.

In her own words, Janelle admitted that since she and Kody aren’t legally married, she has no right to make any claim on his property whatsoever. She explained further that it’s not as simple as calling a lawyer for a divorce because, in this case, there is no legal marriage to dissolve.

Kody chose not to discuss the Arizona property with Janelle as he had lost trust in her.

When the right moment arrives, I’ll settle the property, and I prefer to keep my strategies undisclosed. I’ve had enough of sharing details that only serve to fuel 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 secrets as if he were a leaky bucket, and I found myself in an awkward position when he disclosed details about his previous relationships and multiple spouses that made me feel uneasy.

In the days when their love was growing stronger instead of weakening, they would combine their savings into a common fund.

In simple terms, Janelle stated during the September 22 broadcast that we traditionally give our full support to one individual, and once that’s done, we come together to aid the next person. However, this practice has changed in the last decade or so, with everyone becoming more concerned about building their own assets instead of helping each other.

When Robyn required a house in Arizona, everyone combined their resources to purchase a $1.65 million five-bedroom property – this property had been on the market since August.

Initially, Robyn mentioned that the property would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed they all share the mortgage, she faced objection. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, Robyn’s estate,” as Janelle remembered. Now, since she’s leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.

But that could be a tough sell.

Robyn remarked, “After all this time we’ve collaborated, it seems perplexing to me when Janelle mentions being owed money. I can’t help but wonder, ‘How is this calculated? How does one arrive at that figure?’ It’s all quite puzzling.

Janelle expressed her frustration over the family’s inability to settle Coyote Pass, stating that Kody often mentioned having numerous other financial obligations. However, she has observed him acquiring additional assets such as trailers and home decorations. “I notice all the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls,” she remarked. “I see all these things. And I understand, because I too have spent money on similar items.” (Kody himself explained that a significant portion of his funds went towards purchasing vehicles—”Essentially, I had a fleet”—and insuring the children.)

Even though Janelle admitted she wasn’t clear about how Kody and Robyn managed their finances, she often found herself amazed by the beauty of Robyn’s backyard. It was immaculately done, and it always seemed well-stocked. Her reaction was something like, “Wow. Huh.

To put it in my own words as a lifestyle expert, here’s what she conveyed: “He simply didn’t make my needs and desires a priority, which became increasingly apparent over time. In fact, it was my children – even those who are grown adults – who expressed their frustration, asking me questions like, ‘Mom, what’s going on?’ or ‘What the hell is this?’

Instead, Robyn became cautious about her finances following the breakdown of her first marriage.

She mentioned during the Sept. 22 episode that she wasn’t always good at managing money. When she was younger, she faced several financial challenges, and it was only during her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she simply suggested they had different priorities for their finances than she did.

Currently, as revealed in the September 22 episode, Janelle admitted that she and Meri, Robyn, and Kody (parents of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) seldom interact with their families. At the present time, she does not anticipate this situation to improve significantly.

Speaking fondly about their period residing on a cul-de-sac with four homes in Las Vegas, Kody expressed that “It was the best period of my life. Things were running smoothly and it was fantastic having Maddie and Caleb around. I had a special bond with Caleb; he truly felt like family to me.

In Arizona, disagreements arose concerning coronavirus safety measures, causing a breakdown of order. Subsequently, when his marriages disintegrated, he found that his connections with the children deteriorated as well, stating, “This caused all those relationships to become bitter.

But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021.

On the September 22nd episode, she remarked, “The children who felt frustrated had been feeling that way long before I departed. My departure didn’t affect their relationship with Kody. Kody still has the ability to mend his relationships with his kids.

Though it’ll definitely take some work.

Kody stated, “I’m still upset about how I’ve been perceived, and it’s holding me back. You see, I refuse to accept responsibility for actions that my spouse or ex-spouse is claiming are mine. I can only hope that the resentment will fade someday so we can rediscover forgiveness and love.

At the age of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri had only a limited acquaintance with each other when they got married spiritually and legally. This lack of familiarity became apparent as they later filed for divorce in 2014, allowing Kody to adopt Robyn’s three eldest children from her previous marriage.

In the beginning of our marriage, my partner carried some emotional baggage that I wasn’t initially aware of. At first, I thought I could adapt to this difference, but as time passed, it seemed like we were constantly at odds. I found myself unable to thrive in an environment where she was consistently upset with me.

Despite wanting to depart, he couldn’t. Kody, in a polygamous union, explained that if one wishes to stay loyal and committed, divorce is not an option. Consequently, he found himself unable to extricate himself from that relationship. Yet, he wasn’t yearning for an exit; rather, he sought understanding about whether they could salvage and mend it instead.

Therefore, due to the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they were in each other’s company, Kody explained, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t amusing, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to be intrigued by her, but I find myself growing tired.

In a sense of fairness, he mentioned, it was understandable that Meri might feel deserted, “However, it wasn’t me who asked for her departure. Instead, Christine, Janelle, and Meri decided I should leave our shared home.

Despite the fact that neither Janelle nor Christine considered it necessary to legally divorce Kody, Meri sought an official church-sanctioned separation, referred to as a “release,” towards the end of 2022.

In the September 22 episode, she clarified that all four of us women were united with Kody through our church in a special commitment known as a covenant, not legally. Since none of us are planning to marry him anymore, I believe it’s essential to dissolve that bond. If he doesn’t want me, I don’t wish for us to remain connected for eternity, so let’s sever this connection entirely.

Kody appeared unwilling to accept the concept, she noted, as she wasn’t keen on recognizing the leadership of the church officials.

As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself in a position where the rift between us is too deep for reconciliation, no matter the circumstances. I’ve come to a point where I no longer wish to answer to this community and their perceived nonsense. Therefore, I choose to give Meri the freedom to explore her own path because if I harbor anger towards her, it only leads to more conflict. Frankly, I just need her to step back for a while as it seems like she’s still clinging to something that has been over for quite some time.

A 2021 holiday gift exchange discussion via text message took an unpleasant turn for the 18 Brown family members. As Christine explained, “Things fell apart, things went wrong.” Kody and Robyn, along with their children, were on one side of the issue, choosing to exclude Janelle, me, and our kids from the exchange. This led to a rift within the group following the text conversation.

In Robyn’s perspective, her older children expressed that the interaction felt “unsafe emotionally,” and they suggested a temporary break from their relationship. However, Robyn emphasized that it wasn’t about cutting ties or having no further contact, but rather about addressing a situation that had become uncomfortable for them, as she put it, “‘Hey, this got messy.’

For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.

He openly admitted during the October 13 episode that what he longs for most is rebuilding a connection with Robyn’s children. In middle school, Aurora was his preferred companion, and in high school, he would often reach out to Dayton. However, he isn’t optimistic about forming a relationship with their father and Robyn.

Aurora asserted that she was told on numerous occasions, by various individuals, that she wasn’t welcomed into the family upon Kody’s marriage in 2010. She claimed they never recognized her as a sister and didn’t view her in that manner.

Her sister Breanna expressed that she believed the parents might’ve made more efforts to strengthen our familial bond, but unfortunately, such connections never materialized.

But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.

Robyn’s children and Robyn are always welcome to join any event,” she emphasized. “In other words, feel free to drop by our home whenever it suits you.

Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and Mykelti Brown Padron lived with them for a while. “There were tough periods, and my children felt frustrated at times, but they viewed Robyn’s kids as siblings just the same,” she added.

Janelle expressed her enthusiasm for the freedom she experienced in polygamy by saying, “In a well-functioning setup, it’s like being part of an incredible family network and having a strong bond with your spouse. Plus, I maintain my independence too. To me, that’s what makes plural marriage such a wonderful arrangement.

Kody, however, wouldn’t say “I do” to polygamy again.

He expressed his viewpoint during the December 1st episode: “Polygamy stifles emotional intimacy.” He further explained, “It creates a sense of defensiveness among all parties involved. I yearn for an emotionally open, intimate relationship with a woman, but such connections are difficult to cultivate in polygamous relationships.

According to Janelle, Kody found it more challenging to distribute his love when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.

In the September 29th episode, it was mentioned that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it simpler to be apart from others. Occasionally, she had to remind him to visit her home. He’d often make excuses about fatigue, but she pointed out, “I’m so tired. I’m like, ‘You can rest just as comfortably at my house as you do at Robyn’s.’

In simpler terms, Janelle stated, “My children were reprimanded for going into Robyn’s refrigerator,” suggesting a sense of distance between her brood and Robyn. For Christine, the problem lay in the fact that “her kids noticed that Robyn was dating their father, but he wasn’t living with us.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide.

She mentioned that while Meri welcomed my children and me wholeheartedly, the rest of the family found it difficult to accept us. What they truly desired was to become a part of this family, she expressed during the September 29th episode.

However, Gabriel might contend that he and his other siblings went out of their way to integrate them into the group.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn might have a victim mentality. To put it simply, he was implying this. Now, I don’t want to place blame on her for it. Instead, I think each person tends to develop their own unique strategies to stay afloat in life.

Yet, he added, “If it’s truly her conviction that we were unfairly treating her or her children while she was frequently favored by Dad and we were consistently trying to build a connection with her kids, if she genuinely thinks this, then there is no possibility of me maintaining a relationship with Robyn whatsoever.

Kody’s 18 children were impacted by him moving between four different homes, as Kody explained during the September 29 episode. He recounted an instance where his youngest child with Robyn, Ariella (born in January 2016), held onto his leg when he was attempting to depart.

In a more natural and easy-to-read way, Kody said: “I had to tell her, ‘I have another wife and other children who need me,’ but she clung to me, crying ‘Don’t leave me, Daddy.’ It’s tough.

Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle.

She expressed from the start, her children understood their father wouldn’t always be around. I’ve often felt that Kody and Robyn mishandled this situation with their children. He couldn’t stay away for more than three or four days because Ari gets so downhearted. To me, it seemed like a lack of good parenting. Throughout family history, the other kids have handled similar situations and they’ve turned out to be well-balanced adults.

Among a small group of children with the last name Brown, Mykelti maintained relationships with not only Robyn and Kody but also Christine and Janelle. In the midst of Kody’s divorce proceedings, Mykelti stepped in to serve as a mediator or peacekeeper.

From the instant Robyn joined the Brown clan, Mykelti graciously asked her to be present for the birth of her twins Archer and Ace in November 2022.

In the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still trying to understand myself. However, she made me feel valued and noticed. At a time when I desperately needed someone, Robyn was there for me. She provided the support I needed – someone to listen to me, to care for me.

As an overjoyed fan, I couldn’t help but feel elated when Robyn joined our family and it became apparent that she and Mykelti shared a fantastic bond. On the Oct. 6 episode, Christine herself expressed this joy: “When Robyn came into our family, I was hoping for just this kind of relationship between my kids and other moms, and it’s everything I had dreamed of.

Kody believes it’s not just his wives who are choosing to exclude him from their lives; he thinks they’re intentionally doing so as a form of punishment for a crime he didn’t commit, as he expressed during the Oct. 6 episode. According to him, the only fault he finds in himself is that he didn’t fall deeply in love with their mothers.

What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.

He explained that the strained relationship with his kids is largely due to negative chatter in his mind about himself. Essentially, he feels a wave of disillusionment from the family separation, which has led him to believe, “Ah, it must be my fault. I’m the one who made mistakes.

However, although he accepts some of the blame, he strongly objects to the derogatory remarks. Notably, he admitted that he had difficulties bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. In response to a text message, one of his children replied, “You’re nothing but trash. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.

In another occurrence, he shared with the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You’re a jerk. I’ll never speak to you again. You’ve deceived me and indoctrinated me.’

He’s unwilling to continue dealing with the venomous situation. “I won’t keep extending my hand,” he stated, emphasizing his belief that those involved should take responsibility for resolving the issue. “I’m prepared to put in the work,” he added, “but someone else has to be ready to reciprocate that effort as well.

For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.

In her conversation on October 6th, she shared that when she was small, her parents separated through divorce. He resided with one spouse in another city, while her mother lived alone. I vividly recall questioning my biological father about this, asking, “What happened? Why weren’t you around?” His responses were nothing more than weak justifications for his absence during my childhood years, which left me feeling terrible.

Instead of letting Kody’s wounded emotions dissuade him, she found it challenging not to feel somewhat diminished admiration towards him, as she expressed during their heated confrontation that transpired towards the end of 2022.

Despite admitting that he could put more effort into repairing his relationships with his children, Kody stated that he needs to heal his own heart first.

Expressing his frustration, he admitted that some of his children seem to be banding together against him. He explained, “I’m so enraged by the situation that when I interact with my kids, I fear they might accuse me, which could set me off even further. At the moment, I’m too emotional and may only end up causing more harm.

Despite a large portion of the family being present at Logan’s wedding to Michelle Petty in October 2022, it seemed that there wasn’t much affection shared among them.

In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he observed Madison hastily removing her children from his presence. He emphasized that his daughter hadn’t informed him about her pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their third child, Josephine, in February 2023. In simpler terms, Kody was upset because his daughter didn’t tell him she was pregnant with Josephine.

Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.

Janelle clarified that Maddie hasn’t interacted with Kody because of her strong guardianship over her children. Kody hasn’t been present since Evie was born, which is about three-and-a-half years ago, and Maddie didn’t want him to suddenly appear at the wedding, claiming to be their grandfather, without the kids recognizing him.

Kody feels it’s not practical for grandparents to constantly be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, considering the situation of his daughter Maddie who lives in North Carolina. He further explains that with work and personal commitments in Flagstaff, maintaining such a close connection can be challenging when one moves family members across different coasts.

It’s evident that Kody and his grown-up kids hold contrasting perspectives regarding their persistent estrangement, with a major disagreement being about him expecting an apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

Following the end of the COVID-related concerns, we didn’t manage to heal our family rift as expected because Kody felt his sons owed him and Robyn, particularly Robyn, an apology for past actions. He later expressed that the issue evolved into something more complex, and essentially, they just needed to talk to him about it.

In my perspective, what troubled Kody was a sense of betrayal as he felt his children hadn’t stood by him, and the dearest member of our family who has consistently given her love and devotion had been disregarded or treated unfairly, to put it bluntly. And I found myself responding, “Well, Kody, whatever you say.

Gabriel expressed a similar perspective when recalling his conversation with his father. “He seemed to repeatedly suggest that I needed to offer an apology,” he told Janelle. “Finally, I responded, ‘Unless you’re genuinely prepared to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t be talking anymore.’ A few days later, he reached out and texted me. He said something like, ‘Hey, I’ve been thinking about what you’ve been saying. I forgive you, Please forgive me.’ I replied, ‘Forgive me for what exactly?’

Kody only interacts with his youngest child Savanah among his six children he has with Janelle, albeit not frequently, but every few months they might speak and meet up. The other children do not seem to maintain a significant bond with him. This was shared by Janelle during the October 13 episode.

Speaking personally, I’m Savanah, graduating from high school in 2023. My four elder brothers have stepped into roles usually reserved for fathers. Already, I’ve shared with Janelle my intention of asking them to accompany me on my special day, potentially serving as my escorts during a future wedding ceremony.

In her conversation, Janelle shared that she had spoken with Savanah about the topic, and Savanah explained, “Well, it seems to me he’s just the type of father who will join us and we’ll have a great time together, but then he’ll leave. I understand him as he is, and I’m okay with that.

Janelle, however, is less forgiving.

She expressed her exasperation about Kody, saying, “I can’t help but feel frustrated. You see, I’ve witnessed similar situations in the past. Many women I know who have gone through divorce find that the children’s fathers disappear from their lives afterward.

Initially, Gabriel found it particularly difficult due to the fact that Kody often invited Gabriel along during his work travels. As put by Janelle, Kody had always been an extremely involved father, but this changed over the last few years.

During the October 13th episode, Gabriel expressed his confusion over what might have upset his father, stating, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t transform and refuses to acknowledge his mistakes, then I simply won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely content with that decision.

In her words, he finds comfort knowing his father isn’t part of his life. Ideally, I wish the same for all my children, and I believe they are gradually understanding this too.

For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation.

He expressed his apologies for how Gabriel seems, sharing that he has attempted to reach out to him several times but hasn’t been successful. However, he wants to make it clear that this isn’t due to a lack of effort on his part.

In late 2022, Meri was the one who ended her relationship with Kody, by obtaining a “release” from their church, citing abandonment as the reason for this separation.

In the October 13th broadcast, she observed that he dislikes that particular word since it seems to him that he didn’t leave me. Instead, in my opinion, he did.

To put it simply, she believes he paid little attention to her needs until she decided to depart, at which point he could claim, “‘I had no part in this.’

And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy.

He admitted that he had already moved on a while back, but acknowledged the truth: he was apprehensive about her reaction if he ended things abruptly. This fear stemmed from the fact that Meri had never been loyal to him and this was his main concern. It’s all about reputation, as getting divorced can tarnish one’s image.

Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished.

She expressed, “It’s truly disheartening to listen to Kody discussing our marriage in such a manner. It seems as though his perspective on our relationship has altered, yet the accusations he makes about me to others that people seem to be accepting, appear unfounded.

Before Christina parted ways with Kody, it became evident to her that they were not ideally suited based on a task suggested by their marriage therapist in Las Vegas.

Christine outlined her preferences for a partner in a list, which included someone who communicates well, is involved in family life, and finds her attractive. However, Kody didn’t fit into any of these categories, as she stated on the Oct. 20 episode: “He wasn’t any of the qualities I was looking for. I told him about the list, and he said, ‘I’m not those things for you.’ I replied, ‘No, you’re definitely not.’

The letter played a significant role in her swift realization that David Woolley turned out to be her match.
