Sister Wives is back, with season 19 of the show kicking off on September 15, 2024. The newest season has given more insights into the lives of the three separated wives and how their children feel about their family now. While Robyn and Kody continue to be together, fans of Sister Wives are curious to know about the other family members.
In Sister Wives season 19, Janelle revealed that she asked Kody to return the share of the money she had put into buying their joint property at Coyote Pass since they were now separated. This hinted at a distribution of wealth which could give rise to a conflict between the wives and their children.
For the unversed, Kody is a father to 18 children with his four wives, former and current. He has six children with Christine and Janelle each, one with Meri, and five with Robyn. This includes three of Robyn's children, who are Kody's step-kids. Some of his children are married, while some even have kids. Sister Wives season 1 started in 2010 when Kody met his fourth wife, Robyn.
Sister Wives star Kody Brown's family tree explained
Sister Wives star Kody Brown started a family, with his first marriage to Meri in 1990. He then married Janelle, who was first married to Meri's brother, Adam Barber. But that wasn't how he knew of Janelle. He already knew her as a step-sister because Janelle's mother was married to Kody's father at the time.
Janelle was married to her former husband for a short span of 2 years, from 1988 to 1990. She met Kody in 1989 when she was already married. She also attended Meri and Kody's wedding in 1990. Kody married Janelle in 1993.
He married Christine in 1994 and they all started living together. Kody then had one child with each of his wives. His first child with Janelle, Logan, was born in 1994. Then came, Aspyn, his first child with Christine, who was born in 1995. And then he had Leon with Meri, who was born the same year.
Meri didn't have any more children, the rest of his children were born to Janelle and Christine. Madison, Janelle's second, was also born in 1995, while Mykelti, Christine's second daughter was welcomed in 1996. Then came Hunter as Janelle's third, in 1997. Paedon, Christine's third, was born in 1998, followed by Janelle's fourth son Garrison in the same year, who passed away in 2024.
Janelle's fifth child, Gabriel was born in 2001. Then came Gwendlyn, Christine's fourth, in the same year. Followed by her fifth, Ysabel, in 2003. Janelle's last, her sixth child was Savannah, who was born in 2004. While Christine's last, her sixth child was born in 2010 and was named Truely.
Their family got even bigger when Robyn joined them in 2010, with the three children she had from her previous marriage, whom Kody adopted. Among these were, Dayton, born in 2000, Aurora, born in 2002, and Breanna, born in 2005. Thereafter, Kody and Robyn went on to have two children of their own. Their son Solomon was born in 2011, and daughter Ariella was born in 2016.
Among all these children of Kody, Mykelti, Christine's second, is married and has three children. Janelle's second, Madison, is also married with three children. While their firstborns, Aspyn, Logan, and Leon all have partners. Christine has moved on with her new husband David Woolley, while Janelle and Meri are looking to settle down on their own.
New episodes of Sister Wives season 19 come out every Sunday, at 10 pm ET, on TLC.
