Kody Brown, 55, from Lovell, Wyoming, is the head of the Brown Family featured on Sister Wives on TLC. The reality show follows Kody's polygamist lifestyle with his four Sister Wives and eighteen children as they work through their lives in Utah.

The reality TV star has an Instagram account (@kodywinnbrown) with over 185k followers, though he rarely posts about major life events.

Once married to four women at the same time, Kody is now only married to his fourth wife, Robyn. His ex-wives, Meri, Janell, and Christine, left him after he was not able to work through the differences in their respective relationships.


More about Sister Wives's fame Kody Brown

Kody Brown, born on January 17, 1969 (currently 55 years old), was raised in a Mormon household. His father, William Winn Brown (also a polygamist), had three wives besides Kody's mother, Genielle Tew. Kody grew up with nine siblings: four brothers (Scott, Curtis, Travis, and William) and five sisters (Patricia, Cindy, Lorilyn, Christine, and Leah).

His Instagram bio hasn't been updated since his three divorces, and still reads, "Father of eighteen, husband to four." Kody is not an active Instagram user and has only 12 posts since his first post on September 30, 2017.

His posts include two about a night out to Hyde Loung in the T-Mobile Arena, where he went with his Sister Wives on September 30, 2017. His latest post came on March 6, 2024, when he officially announced his and Janelle's son, Robert Garrison Brown's passing.


Kody Brown's status with Sister Wives

Meri Brown: Separated

Kody and his first wife, Meri, met in 1989. By December 24, 1989, Kody proposed to her, and the pair got married on April 21, 1990. Their marriage lasted for 32 years, during which they had one kid, a son named Leo, born on July 29, 1995.

The Sister Wives couple legally got separated in September 2014 so that Kody could marry Robyn and adopt her three children. While they were still together (spiritually married), they officially broke things off in January 2023.

The season 19 trailer teased that their relationship is getting worse. In the trailer, Kody said that he wished he never married Meri and that she should blame herself for him not loving her anymore.


Janelle Brown: Separated

Before meeting Kody, Janelle was friends with Meri, who introduced her to Kody. Kody and Janelle's relationship started as a friendship, and later they got spiritually married on January 20, 1993.

They never legally got married, and their relationship stood on spiritual grounds. This arrangement came to an end in December 2022, when Janelle confirmed on a Sister Wives: One-on-One special that the two had been separated for several months.

Their marriage lasted for 29 years. They had six kids: four sons (Logan, Hunter, Garrison, and Gabriel) and two daughters (Madison and Savanah). The pair will be dealing with the passing of their son Garrison in the upcoming Sister Wives season 19.


Christine Brown: Separated

Christine and Kody were friends before they got together. After just one date, the Sister Wives star decided he wanted Christine to be his third wife. He proposed to her on their first date on February 14, 1994, and by March 25, 1994, they were spiritually married.

Like Janelle, Kody did not legally get married to Christine, and their spiritual union came to an end on November 2, 2021. During their 27-year relationship, the Sister Wives pair had six children, namely Mykelti, Paedon, Aspyn, Ysabel, Gwendlyn, and Truely. Christine is currently married to David Woolley, and she will be exploring her new life in season 19.


Robyn Brown: Married

Kody met Robyn at church in 2009, and they were spiritually married on May 22, 2010. They had to wait until December 2014 to get legally married, and they have been together ever since.

Robyn had three children from her previous marriage: Dayton, Aurora, and Breanna. Together they had two kids, namely a son, Solomon, and a daughter, Ariella. Their relationship will be tested in season 19, as the pair can be seen at odds in the season trailer.


Sister Wives season 19 is set to premiere on September 15, 2024, on TLC.
