Sister Wives fans have been rocked to their cores recently, as both Janelle and Meri Brown have followed in Christine Brown’s footsteps, choosing to leave Kody Brown. Now, the polygamous patriarch has only one wife, Robyn Brown, to whom he's been legally married since 2014. As season 17 of the show aired, fans deliberated about whether Kody would look for new partners. The bombshells that dropped as the season came to a close intensified the discussion.
Christine, who married Kody in 1994, was the first wife to make the difficult decision to leave the plural marriage. Most of Sister Wives season 17 was centered on the drama caused by that decision. For example, Kody wants a custody arrangement for Truely Brown, since Christine chose to move to Utah with their daughter. Janelle’s departure is also riling up fans, who hope to learn more about it soon. Meri's exit from the plural marriage has only recently been publicly announced, but fans are already speculating that Kody will try to find other wives, so he can continue to be a polygamist.
Is Kody Still Committed To Polygamy?
Kody can opt out of participating in plural marriage in the future. He is still married to Robyn, who is considered Kody’s favorite wife, and could transition to monogamy as he gets older. Many fans believe that Kody will ultimately choose monogamy. On a Reddit thread started by LeadershipMission, someone explained, “He’s said he struggles with polygamy and doesn’t think it works anymore. And at 50, I don’t think he wants more kids. The only reason I could see him courting a new wife would be at Robyn’s insistence.” Robyn may be the one who pushes Kody into pursuing more potential sister wives.
Will Kody Remain Monogamous?
With Kody now only married to one of his initial four wives, fans have been talking about whether he will search for new relationships. As a polygamist, Kody believes that God wants men to marry multiple women. Kody has openly discussed women conforming to the patriarchy, saying that such obedience should be a part of their faith. Several times, he has spoken about his relationship with God on Sister Wives. He has stated that he thinks God calls on him to do certain things, and Kody often teaches his secular viewers about his belief system. Since he's a longtime believer in a sect of the Mormon religion, Kody may want to build new relationships that lead to marriages, and eventually produce children.
As details continue to roll in about Kody’s relationships dissolving, fans will provide more commentary. With new and juicy details about the Sister Wives cast being revealed regularly, there is always plenty for fans to talk about, even when the show isn't airing. It's likely that more shocking revelations will surface in the future.
