Kody Brown's Dramatic Transformation: From

Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images This article contains references to suicide.Since first making its television debut in 2010, TLC reality show "Sister Wives" has taken viewers on a wild ride that, given the show's origins, proved to be much more unhinged than anyone could have anticipated. The show brought viewers face to face with a family of polygamists, featuring patriarch Kody Brown, his wives — Meri, Christine, Janelle, and (eventually) Robyn — and their combined children. As Los Angeles Times TV critic Mary McNamara pointed out in her review of the series premiere, "Sister Wives" initially depicted the unconventional family's rather harmonious life together, as strange as it may have been for non-polygamous viewers to fathom.As time passed and the series' popularity grew, fractures in the family became impossible to ignore. Ratings skyrocketed as spellbound viewers watched the unfolding drama that propelled the show to become one of cable television's highest-rated series. It took a few years, but the plural marriage began to unspool, as one wife left Kody, followed by another, and then another, until only wife Robyn remained. "They made choices that separated us," Kody said of his trio of exes during a 2024 episode of "Sister Wives," as reported by Us Weekly. "And maybe I made choices that separated us, but they eventually moved on."Eventually — and more than a little ironically — television's most notorious polygamist ended up in a shockingly traditional marriage to just one woman. As the show's 19th season kicked off in the fall of 2024, with no signs of ending anytime soon, it's crystal clear that the transformation of TLC's "Sister Wives" is a staggering sight. Kody Brown married first wife Meri in 1990 Kody Brown's journey toward becoming one of America's best-known polygamists began in a surprisingly traditional manner. It all began back in 1990 when Brown married his first wife, Meri Brown. The two had met in church and abstained from a physical relationship until they tied the knot. "I was a little taken with Kody right off the bat," she wrote in the 2012 book, "Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage." "He was definitely cute, and had a great attitude. He was talkative and engaged me in conversation, and made me feel comfortable around him." Kody was likewise smitten as he got to know his future bride. "Meri was so cute and sweet when I met her that I had a hard time suppressing my hopelessly romantic nature," he wrote in that same book. "I had a sneaking suspicion that we were soulmates ..."Kody and Meri eventually had a child, Leon, who came out as transgender in a 2022 Instagram post. Leon is Meri's only child with Kody (although far from Kody's only child).Over time, both spouses came to feel very differently than what they'd expressed in the book. "Every time I was with her, she wasn't nice, she wasn't fun, she wasn't kind, she wasn't interesting," Kody griped about Meri during a 2024 episode of "Sister Wives,"

Sister Wives: Christine Brown & Janelle Brown Admit “Most Devastating” Part of Family RiftDivorces, marriages, new grandbabies, and a tragic death have been the focus of the Brown family’s past few years.Indeed, the Sister Wives stars have all had their share of highs and lows in the wake of former polygamist Kody Brown’s newly monogamous status after three of his four wives left him. Now, after turning the page on a tumultuous chapter, Christine Brown and Janelle Brown are enjoying a new era.“We’re living our best lives,” Christine exclusively told E! News three years after her split from Kody. “I would say, that’s the best way I can sum it up. It really is.”Christine, who remarried David Woolley in October 2023, is focused on the future after ending her marriage to Kody, with whom she shares six children.“I feel like it’s nice to start over again in a new chapter,” she expressed. “We’re also starting over in a new chapter.”Janelle, who split from Kody in 2022, echoed the sentiment, adding, “It’s kind of a renewal season, I think.

'Sister Wives': Meri Brown's Transformation From Kody Brown's

Including Janelle, Christine and Robyn Brown — who entered into a “spiritual union” with Kody. Bryant Livingston/APChristine Brown, who was with Kody for 25 years, announced her exit from the polygamous family in November 2021, with Janelle Brown following in her footsteps in December 2022. In December 2023, Christine, 51, detailed the lack of intimacy and respect she received from Kody that led to their separation.“It was, like, five times in one year,” the former reality star said on Heather McDonald’s “Juicy Scoop” podcast. “There’s sex and then there’s intimacy. What we didn’t have was intimacy.”As of January 2024, Kody only remains married to Robyn. TLCThe mother of six also recalled the last straw in the relationship came when Kody wasn’t there as their daughter Ysabel underwent spinal surgery.“The final thing for me was Ysabel’s surgery,” Christine said. “[Kody] said to [Ysabel] … ‘I can’t leave my family for that long.’ Ysabel goes, ‘I thought we were family. I thought he was my dad.’ She was like, ‘What am I?'”Kody and Robyn Brown — who legally tied the knot in 2014 — remain together. The father of 18 admitted in December 2023 that he would not “advise” others to enter into a polygamous relationship. Eilon PazLooking back on his time with the four women, Kody shared in December 2023 that he wouldn’t advise polygamy today.“I don’t advise people marry and go over three wives,” he said in an interview with People.“I’m not an advocate of plural marriage, but I’ve had my own experience in it and I’ve had my own failures in it. Because of that, I’m like, you got to be really, really wise about who is doing it, how they’re doing it.”

Sister Wives: Kody Brown's Shocking Transformation

Christine See Their Kids as the Core Group of the FamilyAt the moment, Janelle acknowledged in the Sept. 22 episode, while she and Christine—mom to Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown and Truely Brown—get together with their broods, "There’s no contact, really, with Meri or Robyn or Kody. I don’t really foresee that’s going to change much."InstagramKody Thinks His Wives Leaving Hurt His Relationship With the KidsCalling their set-up with four homes on one cul-de-sac during their stretch in Las Vegas "the best time of my life," Kody said, "Everything was going along smoothly and Maddie and Caleb were around and it was great having them around. And I loved Caleb. He was definitely like family."But "things started to fall apart" in Arizona as they clashed over coronavirus-related precautions. Then when his marriages fell apart, he said, his bonds with the kids followed: "It just made all those relationships go sour."But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021. "All the kids that were frustrated were frustrated way before I left," she said on the Sept. 22 episode. "My leaving didn't change his kids' relationship with him. Kody can still fix his relationships with his children."Though it'll definitely take some work. "I'm so angry about how I've been treated that I haven't gotten past that," Kody explained. "Here's the thing is I'm not willing to take blame for things that my wife or ex-wife is sitting there telling them that I did. I hope the time comes when the contempt will subside. We'll be able to find forgiveness and love again."InstagramKody Said His Marriage to Meri Was MiserableKody revealed he and Meri didn’t know each other all that well when they wed both spiritually and legally at the age of 21 and 19, respectively. (They eventually filed for divorce in 2014 so Kody could legally adopt Robyn’s three eldest children from her first marriage.)"When we got married, she was very different and I think just there's some baggage that Meri had that I didn't know about,” Kody explained.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown's Dramatic Transformation

As reported by Us Weekly. Janelle entered the family in 1993 Kody Brown's marriage to Meri may have begun traditionally but didn't remain that way for long. In 1993, he officially became a polygamist when he married second wife Janelle; she'd recently split from her first husband, Adam Clark Barber, who was Meri's brother. Unlike Kody's first marriage — which was of the legal, state-sanctioned kind — his union with Janelle was a "spiritual" ceremony that was not technically binding, at least from a legal standpoint.While introducing a second wife into the equation would understandably seem to be a deal-breaker for most marriages, particularly with newlyweds, that was not the case with Kody and his first wife. "If Meri had any misgivings about Janelle, she didn't voice them to me," Kody wrote in "Becoming Sister Wives." "She seemed happy enough to welcome Janelle into our home."While Meri struggled with infertility (the couple contemplated having another with the help of IVF but never followed through), that wasn't the case with Janelle. She and Kody ultimately had six children together: Logan, Madison, Hunter, Gabriel, Savannah, and Garrison (Garrison died in March 2024 at age 25). Christine married Kody in 1994 Shortly after spiritually marrying Janelle, Kody Brown began courting Christine (he initially sought permission from her father, who was all in on the idea). As Kody wrote in the "Becoming Sister Wives" book, his other two wives seemingly differed in their assessment of his new marital goal. "Janelle was very sweet and accepting of my courtship with Christine," he wrote, but observed that "Meri was slightly more prickly ..."Kody popped the question, and Christine accepted. While he would have preferred a longer engagement, Christine was eager to become his third wife. "She didn't want to be running around with a married man," he explained.Years later, during a confessional segment in a 2023 episode of "Sister Wives," Kody offered up a far harsher recollection of how Christine came to join the family. "Christine forced herself into my life, she basically just insisted that we be married," he declared, as reported by Business Insider. Kody and Christine had six children: daughters Aspyn, Mykelti, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely, and son Paedon. The premiere of Sister Wives brought the polygamous family into the spotlight as they became tabloid staples In 2009, television producer Timothy Gibbons set out to make a reality show focusing on plural marriage. He found a home for his concept on TLC, which had already struck reality TV gold with reality shows about unconventional families, such as "Jon & Kate Plus 8" and "19 Kids and Counting." When he saw Kody Brown and his brood featured on a British news program, Gibbons knew he had found the right family and tracked them down.Speaking with Variety ahead of the series premiere, Janelle Brown explained why the family agreed to be filmed for a reality show. "We want to tell our story," she said, noting that their goal was to minimize the stigma surrounding polygamy.

Kody Brown's Transformation Is Seriously Turning Heads

Sister Wives star Janelle Brown's social posts indicate she's still struggling to come to terms with her past and hasn't moved on. She first considered practicing polygamy when she was in her 20s. Janelle met her ex-husband, Kody Brown, in the 90s and became part of his family. Initially, she enjoyed being in a plural marriage, raising six children with her ex-husband, and maintaining a positive attitude while being an independent working woman. Janelle also found peace in sharing her husband with her Sister Wives, Meri and Christine Brown. Janelle was part of the Brown family for nearly two decades and loved it until she began to feel the negative effects of polygamy. She noticed that Kody showed favoritism towards his youngest wife, Robyn Brown, which made her feel unfairly treated compared to her sister wife. Janelle encountered significant challenges with Kody during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing her to reevaluate her beliefs about polygamy and decide to end her spiritual marriage. In 2022, Janelle left Kody to focus on her personal goals and children. She started working on her own business and became more independent than she had ever before. Janelle Wants To "Detox" Her Mind, Body & Spirit Janelle Lost Her Son, Garrison, In Early 2024 Kody's other wives, Christine and Meri, quickly moved on after their breakups with Kody. Christine lost weight and began dating again. Eventually, she found David Woolley, who she's now married to. Meri also moved on and started dating other people. She adopted a pet dog, reinvented herself, and launched a new business called Worthy Up. Unfortunately, Janelle hasn't reset her life like Meri and Christine. She's still dealing with the aftermath of her split from Kody and several other tragedies that affected her.

"That is so not where I’m at."Photo by Gabe Ginsberg/FilmMagicJanelle Left Kody for This ReasonWhile second wife Janelle Brown previously told E!

"And I thought, OK, that was what was really holding me here."Even when Kody broached the idea of reconciling in the Nov. 3 episode, it was a non-negotiable for Janelle.

"No, I'm going to always choose my kids."Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesKody Feels He's Been "Excommunicated" from His Own FamilyThat was the explanation Kody gave for not working harder to mend the rifts he was experiencing with several of his adult children."I don’t fit in the family anymore," he griped in the Sept. 15 episode. Noting he was still fully married to Robyn and parenting their five kids together—Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown and Ariella Brown—he added, "and then I have some relationship with some of the other kids and it's infrequent.

You have a husband and you have a great relationship with him and and you have everything, right. And then I have all my independence. So to me, plural marriage really was a really great arrangement."Kody, however, wouldn't say "I do" to polygamy again."Polygamy kills emotional intimacy," he opined on the Dec. 1 episode. "It makes everybody defensive, and I really want an emotionally vulnerable, intimate relationship with a woman, and you're not going to get that in polygamy."Janelle Brown/InstagramKody Started Distancing Himself From Janelle Years AgoTo hear Janelle tell it, Kody had a tougher time dividing his love after the family decamped from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.

Texted me. He's like, 'Hey, I've been, like, thinking about what you've been saying. I forgive you, Please forgive me.' I was like, 'Forgive me for what?'"Janelle Brown/InstagramKody Only Sees One of Janelle's KidsOf the six children Kody shares with Janelle, he only sees his youngest, Savanah. "It's not frequently, but every couple months he'll call and they'll go out," Janelle described in the Oct. 13 episode. "The rest of the kids don't really have much of any kind of connection with him."As for Savanah—who graduated from high school in 2023—she feels her four older brothers have taken on that father figure role, the teen already confessing to Janelle that she'd tap her siblings to walk her down the aisle one day. "I've talked to Savanah about it and she's like, 'Look, I just have come to realize that this is who he is," detailed Janelle. "'He's going to be kind of that dad who shows up and we have a lot of fun and then he's gone. I can meet him where he's at. It's OK.'" Janelle, however, is less forgiving.

And while Gabriel is somewhat flummoxed over what he did to anger his father, he said during the Oct. 13 episode, "I told Dad that if he doesn't change and he can't take accountability, then I just won't ever see him again. And I'm perfectly OK with that."As Janelle put it, "He's at peace that his dad is not in his life. And, you know, that's what I hope for all of my kids. And I think they're all getting here."
