Summary

  • Kody's monogamous relationship with Robyn won't work due to his polygamy-centric lifestyle and the need to feel important with multiple wives.
  • Robyn's preference for living in a polygamous relationship may lead her and Kody back to polygamy despite temporarily enjoying monogamy.
  • Kody's desire for a new wife and the potential boost in the show's ratings may lead him to seek out a younger woman and possibly end his relationship with Robyn.

Sister Wives cast member Kody Brown is in a monogamous relationship with Robyn Brown, but there are a few reasons why it won't work. The 54-year-old is known for his lead role on the hit reality TV show, where he has showcased his personal life in front of the cameras. When Kody debuted in 2010, he was married to three women, Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. At the time, he pursued Robyn and made her his fourth wife. The six cast members and their many kids lived together like a big polygamous family for years. However, things changed after Kody's first three wives left him.

Kody had a decent relationship with Meri, Janelle, and Christine. However, his marriage to Robyn has to be his best one yet. Kody's 44-year-old wife maybe ten years younger than him, but she's still a perfect fit for him. The pair share similar beliefs and complement each other's personalities. Robyn loves being submissive to her husband, and Kody likes being dominant. Therefore, their relationship sails smoothly compared to Kody's other marriages. Other Sister Wives like Christine and Janelle Brown weren't stereotypically traditional. In comparison, Robyn is happy in her relationship, isn't jealous, and enjoys polygamy.

8 Kody Needs To Feel Important (More Wives May Build Up His Ego)

There are quite a few reasons why Kody and Robyn can't maintain a monogamous relationship for long. However, the biggest one seems to be the 54-year-old man's polygamy-centric lifestyle. Kody married his first wife, Meri Brown, in 1990. However, he only stayed monogamous for two years before he found Janelle and tied the knot. From then to 2023, Kody maintained a polygamous relationship with four women for nearly three decades. Therefore, it's likely that he won't be able to adjust to a normal family again. He may feel out of place with only one wife.

7 Robyn May Find That There's Just Too Much Togetherness

Robyn's needs are more reasons why she and Kody may soon return to polygamy. While the couple may enjoy a close relationship for some time, they will eventually feel like adding another partner. Robyn has previously stated that she doesn't want a one-on-one marriage. She said (via InTouch), "I had proposals before Kody, and I turned them down, and I said, 'No, I want to live plural marriage, and here I am." While Robyn has begun liking monogamy lately, it could be because it is her first time. She may go back to her old ideology and hope to live in a polygamous relationship again.

6 The Brown Kids May Encourage Kody To Branch Out (& Influence His Thinking)

Kody is a family guy. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the best relationship with his children. To make matters worse, he has been unable to give his kids a mother figure they can respect and love. While Robyn is good, she doesn't have the best matriarchal reputation. In comparison, Meri, Christine, and Janelle aren't in the picture anymore. Therefore, Kody may want to marry another woman who can become the ultimate mom of the family. He may want to set a good example for his kids by finding the Brown family matriarch.

5 Kody May Think About A New Wife & See Dollar Signs

Kody has been the star of Sister Wives since 2010. The show has allowed him to be popular, earned him a lot, and gave him a platform to tell his story. Unfortunately, since his reality TV series has always been about polygamy, viewers will likely stop watching it if Kody continues a regular monogamous relationship. He might need to find a new wife if he wants to keep the show running and continue being a famous individual. A new woman will also come with a lot of drama, which could boost the show's rating.

4 Kody Might Fall In Love With A Younger Woman (Like He Did With Robyn)

At the end of the day, Kody is a man who always falls for younger women. He had done it before with Christine, who was younger than Meri and Janelle. He did the same when he found Robyn, who was nearly a decade younger than all other Sister Wives. Kody fell for Robyn despite being ten years older than her, and history may repeat itself. As time passes, Kody may feel more attracted to youthful women and stop feeling the same for Robyn. He may feel the need to marry again.

3 Robyn & Kody Might Split Up (He Could Start Over)

Most viewers know Kody has slowly lost all his partners over the past few years. Christine left him for David Woolley, a better man with a better future. Janelle did the same and began focusing on herself. Meri also recently cut ties after staying married to him for nearly 33 years. The same fate may lie for Kody and Robyn's relationship. The pair have always faced some issues but fixed them over time. However, monogamy may be their greatest challenge yet and could cause them to call it quits.

2 Kody Might Want More Babies

Kody has had his fair share of kids over the years. He has 18 children, which is more than enough for any man in 2023. However, he's still in his early 50s and has the potential to raise a few more if he wants to. Since Robyn is in her mid-40s, Kody will likely have to find a more youthful partner to have more kids. As a result, he will certainly like to return to a polygamous setup. Still, viewers may turn against him if he finds another woman just for the babies.

1 Kody Might Reconcile With A Former Sister Wife

Kody may reconcile with one of his former wives for a variety of reasons. While Christine has moved on, he still has a chance with his first two partners. Ideally, he has the most opportunity with Meri, who stayed with him the longest. Meri was with Kody through all three relationships. The two may find some common ground and get back together. Kody could reconcile with Janelle, as she is a business-minded woman. Janelle may feel that she could mutually benefit by being with Kody and continue being a regular on Sister Wives.
