Kody and Robyn Brown

Kody and Robyn were initially only spiritually married but they made their wedding legal in 2014 so they could adopt Robyn’s three children - daughters Aurora, Breanna, and son Dayton from her previous marriage. The couple also have two children of their own: son Solomon and daughter Ariella.

Notably, Kody Brown grew up in a plural family with 9 siblings including late brother Curtis Brown who died after getting into a motorcycle accident. Kody’s father William Winn was married to three wives.

Though Kody is in an active marriage with Robyn alone, all his previous wives continue to make a feature on Sister Wives. Christine, now engaged to widower David Woolley, lives separated from the Brown family in Lehi, Utah. She has expressed her intention of only being in a monogamous relationship in the future.
