It seems that, similar to what Kody Brown stated earlier, love is intended to grow and expand. However, it was also the very factor that led to the division within the family of the Sister Wives‘ matriarch’s husband.
To ensure a thriving plural marriage, as expressed by one father on the TLC show in its 19th season, it’s crucial that the love shared isn’t excessive, impractical, all-consuming, and impossible to live without each other.
In simpler terms, as he expressed in the last episode on June 18th, “Polygamy isn’t practical when genuine feelings of love develop.
He and Robyn Brown, who he later married after divorcing Meri, Janelle, and Christine, deeply fell in love, as Kody admitted himself. This love was strong.
As a devoted follower, I couldn’t help but recognize a significant change in my feelings towards the fourth marriage compared to my first three. However, I made it clear that I had no intention of altering this newfound sentiment.
But Kody did recognize he was taking a risk by exchanging claddagh rings with his fourth wife.
In retrospect of the television program, I find myself pondering, “Wow, here I am, jotting down thoughts in my notebook, ‘Gosh, what is happening? I’m already in love and I’ve got three spouses already!’
Well, had, anyway.
By the end of 2021, first Christine, followed by Janelle, and later Meri, declared their separations from the previous salesman. This left Robyn as his only spouse.
Following this event, Kody became agitated, Robyn grieved over the demise of her multi-partner family aspirations, and all three of his former partners tried to clarify what had transpired, acknowledging that the problems with their common spouse had existed for a long time.
She thoroughly expressed all the instances where she felt forsaken by the man she developed feelings for at 19. Christine criticized him as “extremely self-centered,” while Janelle referred to her former partner as “selfish by nature,” avoiding labeling him a narcissist since she’s not qualified to diagnose, but suggested that others might have to make their own judgments about this.
Regarding Kody, who repeatedly stated that he didn’t love his first three wives, he confessed that he became defensive about how he handled the situation. “I wouldn’t have initially acted harshly towards any of them,” he explained. “But when they departed, they started acting hostile. I was simply responding in kind.
In the heat of the ring, I counted every punch thrown – jabs, hooks, and uppercuts alike, each one contributing to an intense, unforgettable battle.
Kody Brown expressed his readiness to part ways with his first wife, Meri Brown, not long after their 1990 wedding vows. However, as Meri explained in the September 15 premiere, Kody “led me to think he would work on things by saying, ‘Oh Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a fresh start for us.'” This mirrors his behavior from many years ago.
She mentioned her primary concern was his poor communication, including his feelings, desires, and dislikes, as well as inconsistencies in the stories he has been sharing over the years.
Initially, Kody admitted that there might have been some ambiguous signals, but as he began to tackle tasks, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point?” He clarified his current stance by stating, “I wouldn’t pursue a relationship with her now.
Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023.
She admitted, “They essentially said, ‘We’re here, we’ve got your back. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinders, she now realizes that he had been trying to persuade her to depart for years by claiming he didn’t care for her deeply. “Because if I were to leave, then he wouldn’t be the villain since he didn’t walk away instead.
After many years since the family acquired a 14-acre plot of land intended for construction in Flagstaff, Ariz., Kody admitted during the season premiere that he was prepared to watch their dream fade away. With the necessity of settling the full $820,000 cost (a debt they reportedly paid off in 2023) before any building could take place, he expressed his feelings to Robyn Brown, saying, “I’d almost prefer to abandon it or sell it and then restart fresh 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 began to deteriorate due to growing apart. However, it was ultimately Kody’s shortcomings in his role as a parent to some of their children that led her to make the decision to depart.
In simpler terms, the mom told 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 her children deteriorated, and it appeared as if he wasn’t making a concerted effort to repair it. This realization made her understand that this was the main reason she had been staying put.
In the November 3rd episode, Kody suggested the possibility of reconciliation, but Janelle firmly rejected it as an option.
She stated, “I can’t imagine finding a way to reconnect with him in such a way that he wouldn’t be involved with my children.” However, she made it clear, “I will always prioritize my kids.
Kody provided a reason as to why he hadn’t made more effort to repair the strained relationships he had with some of his grown-up kids.
He expressed his feelings in the September 15 episode, stating that he no longer feels part of the family. Despite being legally married to Robyn and jointly parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he mentioned having limited connections with some other children, which is rare. Consequently, he questioned how he should manage all these relationships when it doesn’t feel like a family atmosphere anymore.
In their 14-year marriage, which is now the first time they’ve been truly monogamous, Robyn admitted during the season 19 premiere that things are more strained than ever. “We’re struggling more than we’ve ever had,” she said. “Kody doesn’t know who to blame – himself or one of the other wives. He feels a lot of rejection and I think he’s worried that I might reject him too.
As a consequence, she admitted, “I’m constantly vigilant. I have to keep checking that he isn’t undermining our relationship.” The most challenging aspect, as she put it: “There’s no guidance or support for the reality that I’m still wedded to a man who’s going through multiple divorces.
Meanwhile, Kody struggled with self-doubt, expressing, “It’s difficult for me to stand before a mirror and tell myself, ‘Alright, buddy. I adore you.’
In the October 27th episode, Robyn observed that her ex-sister wives were progressing into a new phase of life. She remarked, “They’re all advancing,” and admitted to feeling like she was the one who was left behind.
In the show’s premiere, Janelle shared that her eldest daughter Madison is currently estranged from Kody, as there has been no contact between them. “Maddie hasn’t spoken to her father,” Janelle clarified, “Neither of them have reached out, and she doesn’t maintain any relationship with Kody or Robin. Essentially, she’s cut ties with both of them.
The crux of the matter, as Janelle pointed out, is that Kody should fully engage with Maddie’s children Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine in a meaningful relationship: “She feels he should only interact with them if he’s willing to make a firm commitment.
Consequently, during the Sept. 22 episode, it was mentioned that Kody had essentially stopped communicating with Maddie and her husband, Caleb Brush, when the family began to fall apart.
Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as described by Janelle. She has expressed feelings of needing consistency and reliability from him before re-introducing him to their lives, to avoid unnecessary drama.
Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to reconnect and repair their relationship. She further stated, “It seems only fair for the children to do the same as well.
currently, it appears that Kody isn’t prepared to mend the rift yet. He complains that whenever he converses with his daughter, their discussions often turn into gossip-mongering, which has grown tiring for him.
Love is intended to grow, not diminish, but unfortunately, Kody confessed that in his past declarations about his ex-wives, he claimed not to have loved them.
He responded during the June 15 interview by saying it felt like an instinctual response. He emphasized that he had been overwhelmed by their criticism for the past three years, which he described as a whirlwind of reactive anger.
He mentioned to Meri during their anniversary celebration that he had never really felt love for her throughout their relationship.
In a chat with a friend in September 2024, Meri asserted that she was certain about his affection for her.
But if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose?
When a man meets a woman who’s also single, it seems unfair that he would marry her without already loving her, merely intending to grow those feelings over time. It feels harsh, like plucking someone from a crowd and saying, ‘I choose you, and now I expect to learn to love you for the next three decades.’
Kody’s response, he shared in his own confessional: “Oh, Meri has her little accusations now.”
Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period.
On the October 20th episode, he firmly stated that their marriage was in trouble from the very start. He explained that he had a much stronger bond with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, which is how he came to know this.
However, he chose to remain due to apprehension, observing, “The leadership strictly forbids remarriage if a spouse is being replaced.
Although Janelle was unsure whether to develop on Coyote Pass or sell it, her 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 “It seems I’ll need a lawyer,” explaining, “I think that’s the only way I can get any kind of resolution from him.
In simpler terms, Janelle admitted that since she doesn’t have a legally binding marriage with Kody, she has no legal grounds to assert any claims on his property. She explained further that the situation is not as straightforward as simply filing for divorce; instead, it’s complex because there’s no existing legal marriage.
Kody explained that he stopped discussing the Arizona property with Janelle because he had lost trust in her.
He emphasized during the September 22 episode that he would settle the property matter when necessary, and he chose to keep his plans secret because he is fed up with sharing details that get distorted by our fractured family’s rumor mill.
A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview.
She mentioned, “He spills secrets as if he’s got a broken bucket,” meaning he revealed confidential information about his other relationships and marriages, which left her feeling uncomfortable.
In days when their love was growing instead of waning, they would combine all their savings into a common fund.
In simpler terms, as Janelle put it on the September 22nd episode, we would pool all our resources to assist one individual, and afterwards, we’d unite to aid the other person. This was how things were done for a long time, until around the last decade or so. But now, it seems like it’s more about personal wealth and everyone wanting their own share of it instead.
When Robyn found herself needing a house in Arizona, everyone chipped in to purchase her spacious five-bedroom property that was valued at approximately $1.65 million and had been on the market since August.
Robyn stated that it was planned for the property to benefit the whole family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all be co-signers on the mortgage, she faced resistance. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, protect Robyn’s inheritance,” as Janelle remembered. Now that she’s leaving the family, Janelle expressed her wish 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.
In a reflective tone, Robyn remarked, “We’ve been collaborating for quite some time.” Then, as Janelle mentioned her claim of unpaid dues, Robyn expressed her bewilderment, saying, “I just can’t wrap my head around it! How do you even calculate that? It’s all so perplexing.
Expressing her frustration about the unpaid Coyote Pass debt, Janelle pointed out that Kody often mentioned having numerous other debts. However, she has observed him acquiring various assets such as trailers and home decorations. She noted the art adorning Robyn and Kody’s walls and all their possessions, adding that she understands spending money on personal items. She clarified that she too has spent money on things, but Kody explained that most of his cash was used for purchasing cars (essentially having a fleet) and insurance for the children.
Janelle would often find herself wondering about the financial management of Kody and Robyn, as she frequently marveled at the lavishness of her backyard and the abundance of possessions in Robyn’s home, exclaiming something along the lines of, ‘Wow, really? That’s impressive!’
Essentially, she expressed that he didn’t give importance to her needs or desires, which over time became increasingly evident, even to her children who grew frustrated, asking questions like “What on earth, Mom?
In a nutshell, Robyn became more cautious about managing her finances following the dissolution of her initial marriage.
She admitted in the September 22 episode that she wasn’t very skilled with finances in the past. She experienced difficult times when she was younger and it was during her divorce that she learned to budget effectively. Regarding her sister wives, she explained, “It seems like you prioritized your spending differently than I did.
Currently, as observed in the Sept. 22 episode, Janelle admitted that there is little interaction taking place between her, Meri, Robyn, and Kody. She doesn’t anticipate this situation changing significantly in the near future.
Speaking about their period residing on a cul-de-sac with four homes in Las Vegas, Kody described it as “the best time of my life.” He added, “Things were running smoothly, and having Maddie and Caleb around made it even better. I truly loved Caleb; he was essentially like family to me.
However, discord arose in Arizona concerning coronavirus safety measures, and things began to unravel. In a similar vein, as his marriages disintegrated, he found that his connections with the children deteriorated too: “It seemed to spoil all those relationships.
But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021.
In the September 22nd episode, she remarked that the kids who appeared frustrated had been feeling that way long before she departed. She explained that her departure didn’t alter the dynamics of their relationships with their father; Kody has the ability to mend his bonds with his children.
Though it’ll definitely take some work.
Kody clarified, “I’m still deeply hurt by how I was treated in the past, which has left me unable to move on. To be clear, I refuse to accept blame for actions that my wife or ex-wife insists are mine. I can only hope that one day the resentment will fade, allowing us to find forgiveness and love once more.
At the ages of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri admitted they weren’t very acquainted with each other when they entered into both a spiritual and legal union. As time passed, they eventually decided to file for divorce in 2014 so that Kody could legally adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from her previous marriage.
During our wedding, she seemed quite different, and it later occurred to me that Meri might have brought some issues from her past that I wasn’t aware of. At first, I believed I could cope with these differences. However, as time went on, it felt like everything was a source of conflict. Eventually, I realized I couldn’t continue living in a world where she was frequently upset with me.
Despite his desire for change, he found himself unable to depart from the relationship. Speaking about a plural marriage, Kody stated, “If one wishes to remain faithful and devoted to the faith, they can’t seek a divorce. It’s prohibited. Consequently, I couldn’t escape that bond. Yet, it wasn’t that I yearned to depart from the relationship. Instead, I wanted to explore if we could salvage and mend it.
Therefore, the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they were together, Kody stated, “She was neither pleasant nor amusing nor compassionate nor stimulating. I’m making an effort to be interested in her, but I find myself bored.
In a spirit of understanding, he acknowledged that it might appear as if Meri was left behind, however, it’s important to clarify that none of them forced him to vacate the house; instead, it was their collective decision for him to step out.
Despite the fact that Janelle and Christine didn’t consider it necessary to formally divorce Kody as their union wasn’t legally recognized, Meri petitioned their church for a formal separation, referred to as a ‘release’, around late 2022.
In the September 22nd episode, she clarified that all four of us married Kody through our church. Since it’s not possible for us to be legally married, we referred to it as a covenant. However, since none of us are pursuing further marriage with him and I don’t want to remain bound to him eternally if he doesn’t feel the same way, I think it’s best that we completely sever this bond. In essence, I want to move on independently.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I found myself initially hesitant, choosing to withhold recognition of the religious authorities’ leadership role.
Kody made it clear that the harm was so extensive that reconciliation is no longer an option, regardless of circumstances. He added that he no longer wishes to answer for his actions to this church, with all its complications. Therefore, he intends to allow Meri her freedom to do as she pleases since holding a grudge against her would lead to conflict. Essentially, he wants her to move on because it’s been years since their issues were resolved.
In the midst of last year’s holiday gift exchange, things took an unpleasant turn for me and the 18 Brown children. As I looked back on it all, I couldn’t help but feel the chill run down my spine and say, “Things went awry, things unraveled.” Kody, Robyn, and their kids stood firm against Janelle, myself, and our offspring, creating a stark divide in our group. This divide became evident during our text conversations about the exchange.
Robyn explained that her older children perceived the interaction as uncomfortable and felt the need for some distance in their relationship. However, she clarified that it wasn’t a matter of never wanting to see or interact with her again; rather, they expressed that things had become awkward.
For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.
He admitted during the October 13th episode that what he desires most is rebuilding a connection with Robyn’s kids. In middle school, Aurora was his preferred companion, and in high school, he made frequent attempts to get close to Dayton. However, he expressed that he isn’t optimistic about forging a relationship with their father and Robyn.
Aurora stated emphatically that she was told numerous times by various individuals, both directly and indirectly, that she was not welcomed as part of the family when her mother married Kody in 2010. They made it clear to her that she wasn’t their sister, and they didn’t recognize or perceive her in that role.
Instead, her sister Breanna expressed that they believed the parents might’ve made more effort to strengthen our family bond. Unfortunately, that connection was never fully established.
But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.
Robyn’s children and Robyn were always invited to all events,” she emphasized. “In other words, they are more than welcome to drop by our home whenever they please.
Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and Mykelti Brown Padron even resided with them for a while. She said, “There were challenging periods, and my children felt frustrated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s kids as their siblings just as if they were blood relatives.
Speaking enthusiastically about plural marriage, Janelle expressed, “When it’s working well, you become part of this extraordinary family network, connected to a community that nurtures you. You have a husband and a strong bond with him, yet you maintain your independence too. In my perspective, plural marriage offers an exceptional balance.
Kody, however, wouldn’t say “I do” to polygamy again.
In his view, expressed during the December 1st episode, polygamy hinders emotional intimacy. It tends to make everyone guarded, and he desires a deeply emotional, intimate bond with a woman, which is challenging to achieve within a polygamous relationship.
According to Janelle, Kody found it more challenging to divide his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.
On the September 29th episode, it was observed that Kody found living in Flagstaff more manageable for him to be away. Occasionally, she felt compelled to remind him of his responsibility to visit her home. He often tried to avoid by claiming exhaustion, but she pointed out, “I understand you’re tired. But you can rest just as comfortably at my house as you could at Robyn’s.
Expressing the same idea more casually: Janelle pointed out that her children were reprimanded if they dared to open Robyn’s fridge, suggesting a sense of distance between them and Robyn. Meanwhile, Christine’s kids felt excluded because they recognized that Robyn was their dad’s partner but 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 her and her children, but the rest of the family found it difficult to accept them. They only desired to become a part of this family.
However, Gabriel might assert that he and his fellow siblings made considerable efforts to integrate them fully into their group.
He stated during the October 13th episode, “It seems to me that Robyn has a tendency to view herself as a victim.” To put it another way, this is his perspective. And while I don’t hold her accountable for this, I believe that various individuals develop unique strategies to stay afloat in life.
Indeed, if she genuinely perceives that our actions towards her or her children were less than kind when it seemed she was favored by my father and we were diligently nurturing our bond with her kids, should this belief persist, then I must sadly accept that any future relationship between Robyn and myself is unattainable.
During a September 29 episode, Kody shared how the frequent moves between four households significantly impacted his eighteen children. He vividly recalled an instance when his and Robyn’s youngest daughter Ariella, born in January 2016, became attached to him as he was about to depart, holding onto his leg.
In simpler terms, Kody said, “I had to tell her, ‘There’s another woman who needs me, another mother. I have other children who need my presence,'” expressing the difficulty he felt as she clung to him and pleaded, “Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t abandon me.” He added, “This is tough.
Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle.
She shared from the start, her children “were aware their father wouldn’t always be around permanently.” She felt Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation with their children. He couldn’t stay away for longer than three or four days because Ari gets so upset. She thought it was a form of poor parenting. Throughout family history, the other children had done the same thing, and they turned out to be well-adjusted adults.
Among the rare young individuals of Brown descent, Mykelti maintained a strong bond with both Robyn, Kody, and also their shared siblings Christine and Janelle. In the midst of Kody’s divorces, Mykelti assumed the role of mediator to preserve harmony within the family.
From the instant Robyn joined the Brown household, Mykelti graciously included her in a significant milestone – the November 2022 birth of her twins, Archer and Ace.
During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still trying to discover myself. She made me feel unique and understood, she was there for me at a time when I needed someone. More importantly, she was there for me when I needed someone to listen to me, to care for me.
And Christine was overjoyed beyond words when she saw how close Robyn and Mykelti were. “Ever since Robyn joined our family, it’s been clear they have a wonderful bond,” Christine expressed during the Oct. 6 episode. “When I dreamt of having a multi-mother household, I always wished my children would form strong bonds with other mothers.
Kody believes that it’s not just his wives who have chosen to exclude him from their lives; instead, he thinks they are intentionally doing so as a form of punishment for a crime he did not commit. During the Oct. 6 episodes, he shared this perspective on his strained relationship with some of his older children, stating that his only guilt lies in not being deeply in love with their mothers.
What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.
In my perspective as a lifestyle expert, I often find myself grappling with a gap in my relationship with my kids, a chasm that seems to have emerged predominantly due to negative conversations, or what I refer to as self-talk. It’s an unfortunate byproduct of the tumultuous times we’ve experienced together, and it sometimes feels like a vicious cycle where the blame game takes center stage: “Well, it’s Dad who’s made mistakes.
However, although he accepts some responsibility, he strongly objects to the insults. In fact, during a conversation, Kody admitted that he had been having difficulties bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. Notably, one of his children reportedly responded to a text message by saying, “You are worthless. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.
In a different occurrence, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You’re a jerk. I won’t speak to you anymore. You have manipulated me and indoctrinated me.’
He’s unwilling to continue addressing the issue that revolves around his venom. “I won’t stretch out my hand indefinitely,” he stated, expressing his belief that his grown-up kids should take more responsibility for rectifying matters. “I’m prepared to make an effort, but it’s important that someone else is ready to reciprocate and put forth some effort as well.
For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.
As a child, I experienced the painful reality of my parents’ separation. My father lived with another woman in a different city, while my mother bravely navigated life on her own. I vividly recall the moment when I asked him about our changed circumstances, seeking understanding: “Why did this happen? Why weren’t you there for me during those crucial years?” His responses, though numerous, were nothing more than feeble explanations that left me feeling empty and unsatisfied. It was a difficult time in my life, one that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Instead, it seems she was unwilling to let Kody’s wounded feelings impede his efforts. During their heated confrontation, caught on camera towards the end of 2022, she expressed some reservations, saying, “I must admit, I find myself struggling not to question your respect a bit.
While Kody admitted there was room for improvement in repairing his relationship with his children, he emphasized that healing his own heart came first.
He shared that some of his children seem to be conspiring against him, explaining, “I’m so furious about the situation that whenever I speak with my kids, I fear they might provoke me with an accusation. At this moment, I’m too emotional and could potentially make things worse by reacting impulsively.
Despite many members of their family being present at the wedding of Logan and Michelle Petty in October 2022, it seemed that Janelle and Kody didn’t share in the warm emotions of the event.
In the October 6th episode, Kody voiced his displeasure to Robyn, expressing that he noticed Madison swiftly removing her children from him, and he hadn’t been informed earlier about her expecting their third child, daughter Josephine, who was born in February 2023. Essentially, he mentioned that Madison didn’t share with him the news of her pregnancy.
Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.
In essence, Janelle clarified that Maddie avoids Kody at events such as the wedding because she takes great care to safeguard her children. Kody hasn’t visited since Evie was born over three and a half years ago, and Janelle didn’t want him to suddenly show up and claim to be their grandfather without the kids recognizing him first.
Kody’s viewpoint: “It’s not practical for grandparents to be constantly involved in their grandchildren’s lives, as was the case with Maddie living in North Carolina. This is particularly true when you relocate your children to an entirely different coast. I have my job and personal life here in Flagstaff.
It’s evident that Kody and his grown-up kids hold contrasting perspectives regarding their current rift, with a significant issue being Kody insisting on an apology or acknowledgment of wrongdoing from his side.
Following the end of the COVID-related concerns, we didn’t manage to mend family ties as expected because Kody insisted that his sons should apologize, particularly to Robyn, according to Janelle in the October 13 episode. Essentially, he expressed that they simply needed to have a conversation with him directly.
According to Janelle, what troubled Kody was his belief that his children hadn’t been faithful to him, and he felt that the most cherished individual in their family, who had given so much of themselves, had been disregarded or treated unfairly, she explained. In response, Janelle said something along the lines of, “Well, Kody, I don’t know… whatever.
Gabriel expressed a similar sentiment, relaying an account of his discussion with his father. “He seemed to keep suggesting that I ought to apologize,” he told Janelle. “Finally, I said something along the lines of, ‘Unless you’re genuinely willing to rebuild our relationship and mend things, we won’t talk anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He said, ‘Hey, I’ve been pondering over what you’ve been saying. I forgive you. Please forgive me.’
As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t help but share my feelings about Kody, who shares six children with Janelle. Though our encounters are few and far between, every two or three months, he reaches out to me – his youngest, Savanah. We seize these rare moments to catch up outside the home, creating special memories in the process. However, it’s unfortunate that the rest of the kids don’t seem to have a meaningful connection with him.
Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, she believes her four elder brothers have assumed a paternal role in her life. In fact, she has openly expressed to Janelle her intention to ask her siblings to accompany her during her future wedding walk.
Janelle mentioned that she had discussed the matter with Savanah, and Savanah explained, ‘I’ve figured out that this is just his nature.’ She described him as a father who will occasionally spend time with us, but will not be around permanently. Janell accepts this reality, acknowledging that it’s fine for him to be this type of dad.
Janelle, however, is less forgiving.
She expressed her frustration about Kody, saying, “I’ve witnessed this pattern before. There are multiple women I’ve collaborated with who went through a divorce, only for the children to be left without their father’s presence.
At the beginning of their estrangement, “Gabriel found it particularly difficult as Kody used to let Gabriel accompany him on work trips,” noted Janelle, explaining that Kody had been a highly involved father until relatively recently.
In the October 13th episode, Gabriel expressed his confusion over what might have upset his father, but he also stated, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t alter himself and can’t accept responsibility, 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. And ideally, I wish the same peace 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 apology for how Gabriel feels, adding that he has attempted to reach out to him several times but was turned down. However, this doesn’t mean he didn’t make an effort.
In late 2022, Meri was the one who ended her union with Kody, formally separating their relationship within their faith, which they refer to as a “release,” based on the claim of abandonment.
She pointed out during the October 13 broadcast that he dislikes that particular word because he doesn’t believe he left her. Instead, she feels it was him who did so.
To put it simply, she believes he neglected her significantly until she decided to depart, allowing him to claim, “I had no involvement in this.
And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy.
He admitted that he had long since left the past behind him. However, it’s important to be straightforward: I was hesitant to confront her due to fear of her reaction. My reluctance stemmed from Meri’s history of disloyalty, which has always been a concern for me. It’s mostly about her reputation because getting divorced can tarnish one’s image.
Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished.
As a lifestyle expert, I find it truly disheartening to see Kody speaking about our marriage in such a manner. It appears as though his perspective on our relationship has evolved, yet the portrayal of me that he shares with others and that they seem to accept, does not align with reality.
Before Christina parted ways with Kody, it became apparent to her that they might not have been compatible based on a task suggested by their marriage counselor in Las Vegas.
In her search for a suitable partner, Christine penned down characteristics she desired in a husband, such as an effective communicator, a loving and involved parent, and someone who was genuinely drawn to her. However, it turned out that Kody did not possess any of the qualities she had specified, according to her remarks on the October 20th episode. “I shared the list with him, and he admitted that he doesn’t fit the bill,” Christine stated. “I said, ‘No, you don’t.’
In my line of work as a lifestyle advisor, I can confidently say that I recognized instantly that David Woolley was my match. His message played a significant role in this realization.
She praised the widower, father of eight, stating that family is his greatest treasure. Running his own drywall company, he’s renowned for his integrity and authenticity. He’s an exceptional communicator as well.
