•  Kody Brown’s first three marriages failed due to personal issues.
•  Jealousy and management issues caused tension in Kody’s marriages, ultimately leading to the departure of Christine and Janelle from the relationship.
•  Kody’s actions, such as missing his daughter’s surgery and cruelly dissing Meri, have strained his relationships and may make it difficult for him to find new partners in the future.

Sister Wives star Kody Brown’s first three marriages failed miserably after years of personal issues. The reality star’s relationship journey began in 1990 when he tied the knot with California native Meri Brown. At the time, he was a monogamous man and was rediscovering his true self. In 1993, Kody found a new purpose and opted for polygamy. He married a Utah woman, Janelle Brown, hoping to expand his family. A year later, Kody found Christine Brown and brought her into his growing household. Kody remained married to the three women for almost two decades before finding another partner. In Sister Wives season 1, he wedded his fourth wife, Robyn Brown.

Initially, things started great for Kody and his four wives. However, the peaceful dynamic didn’t last long. A few years into his fourth marriage, the 54-year-old man began having management issues. He couldn’t spend adequate time with each of his partners, which led to various problems. The pandemic further worsened the Brown family issues, leading to more drama. In 2021, Christine finally said goodbye and left the polygamous relationship for good. This major shake-up inspired Janelle, who decided to move out a few months later. In 2023, Meri also felt that she and Kody had nothing between them. Therefore, she quit the polygamous marriage and began relishing her single life.
