Speculation about the state of Kody and Robyn’s relationship has been rife among fans and followers of “Sister Wives” for quite some time. However, the confirmation of their separation has sent shockwaves through the fanbase, signaling the end of an era for the polygamous Brown family.
The decision to separate comes after years of ups and downs for Kody and Robyn, whose relationship has been a focal point of the show since its inception. Their struggles and triumphs, along with those of the other wives in the family, have been documented extensively over the years, captivating audiences around the world.
And for those looking in from the outside (and, admittedly, a few on the inside) it was easy to point to his 2010 spiritual ceremony with divorced mom of three Robyn as the beginning of the end. Particularly when he divorced first wife Meri in 2014 to legally wed Robyn and adopt her older children. But on the final episode of the series’ three-part Sister Wives: One-on-One special Jan. 8. But Kody adamantly denied that he showed the 44-year-old (mom to his youngest kids Solomon, 11, and Ariella, 6) preferential treatment.
“That’s the most unfair question,” Kody said when asked if Robyn was his “favorite” partner. “You don’t have any idea the work she has done. What she has done as a person. The sacrifices that she’s made. The games that she hasn’t played.”
For her part, a frustrated Robyn said she wanted Kody and the three women “to leave me the hell out of” their ongoing drama, having attempted to play mediator for several years.
“I’m tired of being punished and blamed. And people thinking I’m a bad person because I am just communicating,” she told host Sukanya Krishnan of her relationship with Kody while breaking down into tears. “I’m tired of being punished for it. I’m tired of it being somehow a bad thing, because it’s not.”
As “Sister Wives” bids farewell to its nineteenth season, fans are left to reflect on the legacy of the show and the impact it has had on popular culture. The end of Kody and Robyn’s relationship marks the end of an era for the Brown family, leaving viewers with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation for what the future holds for each of them.
While the conclusion of “Sister Wives” may mark the end of one chapter, it also opens the door to new possibilities for Kody, Robyn, and the rest of the Brown family. As they embark on separate journeys, fans can only hope that they find happiness and fulfillment in whatever comes next.
