TLC's reality TV series Sister Wives premiered on the channel on September 26, 2010, and is currently airing season 19. It follows the lives of Kody Brown and his four wives, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, along with their 18 combined children.
Sister Wives shows the Brown family as they navigate the complexities of a polygamous lifestyle. However, it is worth noting that Christine, Janelle, and Meri have since separated from Kody, dramatically altering the family dynamic.
One of Kody's children is 26-year-old Paedon Brown, whom he shares with Christine Brown. Paedon criticized his father, Kody, on the latest episode of Sister Wives season 19 for the latter's prioritization of Robyn over his other wives. His revelation of the family conflicts led to a physical altercation with his sister Gwendolyn.
The relations between the family were strained further when Paedon publicly supported the Blue Lives Matter movement. It is a countermovement that supports police officers in the US and is in opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Paedon was born on August 7, 1998, and is Kody and Christine's third child and Kody's seventh overall. He has shared many aspects of his life on Sister Wives, making him a familiar face to fans.
Everything we know about Paedon Brown of Sister Wives
Sister Wives' Paedon Brown is Kody and Christine Brown's third child and the seventh among Kody's 18 children. He has five full siblings and twelve half-siblings from Kody's other three wives. Paedon lived with his non-traditional family unit in Lehi, Utah, until he was 14, when they moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite the family's move, Paedon maintained stability in his education, graduating from Centennial High School in August 2017.
In April 2019, Paedon completed rigorous training at the National Guard boot camp. His commitment to serving his country in the National Guard highlighted his dedication and discipline.
Family relationships and conflicts in Sister Wives
Paedon Brown shares a close bond with his mother, Christine, who married Kody in 1994. He has five full siblings, Aspyn, who was born in 1995, Mykelti, who was born in 1996, Gwendlyn, who was born in 200, Ysabel, born in 2003, and the youngest, Truely, born in 2010. The Sister Wives cast member has a strong connection with his siblings.
However, he has a strained relationship with his father, Kody Brown. He believes his father favors his fourth wife, Robyn, leading to conflicts between the two. Paedon has previously openly criticized Kody's behavior and his role within the family. In a TikTok video, Paedon said that a king who had to claim that he was the king, was "no true king."
Although Paedon has good relations with some of his siblings, he does have a troubled relationship with his sister, Gwendlyn. The issues among the siblings seemingly stem from their differing social and political views and have also led to them getting into a physical altercation on Sister Wives.
Paedon's outspoken nature often leads to conflicts with other family members over political beliefs. His public support for the Blue Lives Matter movement in 2020 led to considerable tension within his family. He had notable issues with his half-sibling Leon Brown and their wife Audrey Kriss due to this.
The Blue Lives Matter movement, often seen as oppositional to the Black Lives Matter movement, starkly contrasted with Leon and Audrey's beliefs. The two were strong supporters of Black Lives Matter.
Relationship with Robyn Brown in Sister Wives
Paedon feels a strong dislike towards his father's fourth wife, Robyn, and has expressed a desire for wanting her to leave the family. The family dynamics shifted significantly after Kody married Robyn in 2010, leading to feelings of neglect among his other wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine.
This change strained Paedon's relationship with his father, Kody, and in part, contributed to Christine, Meri, and Janelle ending their marriages with Kody by 2023. Paedon believes Robyn has had a divisive influence on the family and openly criticizes her for being self-centered. He admits to being rude to Robyn's children and blames her for much of the family's issues.
Paedon also has significant grievances with Kody, accusing him of neglecting the rest of the family in favor of Robyn. He publicly questions Kody's role as the family patriarch, highlighting his deep-seated issues with his father's leadership and ego.
Announced in August 2010, Sister Wives chronicles the lives of the Brown family and their polygamist lifestyle. Their lifestyle and the show were controversial due to legal and societal norms in Utah at the time. As of 2024, the show had aired nineteen seasons, with Paedon being a regular presence and sharing his journey openly with the audience.
New episodes of Sister Wives season 19 air every Sunday at 10/9c only on TLC.
