“Challenged my identity:” Sister Wives star Robyn talks about her beliefs and monogamous marriage

Sister Wives season 19 episode 15 was released on TLC on Sunday, December 29, 2024. Titled Faith Can Move Mountains, the episode saw Robyn Brown, Kody Brown's fourth and current wife discuss the impact of her husband's three divorces on her family.

Kody Brown, the patriarch of the Brown family, was married to four women until recently as he followed polygamy. However, as of now, Kody is in a monogamous marriage with Robyn after separating from Janelle, Christine, and Meri, respectively. During a confessional on the latest episode of Sister Wives, Robyn stated that the experience of her husband's divorces was "traumatic." She added that being in a polygamous marriage was a "big piece" of who she is.

"This whole situation with our family has challenged my identity about like I am a plural wife and then this is what I believe and then this is our family. That was a big piece of who I am and now I am like, now who am I?" Robyn said.

Robyn's husband, Kody Brown got legally and spiritually married to his first wife, Meri Brown, in 1990, before marrying his second wife Janelle in 1994. He married his third wife, Christine in 1994, and married his fourth and current wife Robyn, in 2010. Currently, Kody is married only to Robyn and separated from his three previous wives.

Sister Wives star Robyn opens up about her marriage with Kody

Sister Wives cast member Robyn said that she was not sure if Kody would marry again. She said that if Kody did get remarried, she wanted to have a guarantee that the family would have a "positive successful experience."

She explained that she "never pictured" herself as a monogamous person and "never thought it would just be Kody." Robyn also discussed the increased tension among their family members following the divorces.

"If I had a guarantee that it would be something that would be beneficial and we would have a positive successful experience, I would be interested in living in a plural marriage again."

In the same episode, Robyn's daughters met up with their church's pastor to "explore non-Mormon" aspects of their religion. Robyn stated she could understand why her daughters wouldn't want to be in a polygamous marriage.

The Sister Wives star continued to say that she felt welcomed in the church and had a good experience. Robyn also questioned her identity as in the religion that she reportedly follows, polygamy is one of the main focuses and Kody's divorces left her feeling lost.
