It was clear to viewers of Sister Wives that Robyn Brown was always Kody Brown’s number one. This was evident as far back as season 1, when Kody would spend weekends at Robyn’s house, leaving his other wives and children behind. So, why was Kody so surprised when his wives began feeling neglected? Robyn Brown stole Kody’s heart in a way his other wives did not Robyn and Kody Brown’s relationship was portrayed as more romantic than his relationships with Meri , Janelle, and Christine Brown.
TLC’s cameras showed their intense romance, contrasting it with the platitudes he exchanged with his three other wives. For example, he briefly kissed or hugged Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown. But Robyn got long, lingering looks and hugs and kisses before marriage.
This should have set off red flags for his wives. However, it was not revealed until much later how Kody’s affection toward Robyn at the beginning of her relationship with the Brown family affected his three other wives. Sadly, Kody wasn’t mature enough to tell his other wives that he had met the true love of his life and kept them strung along for years.
Christine Brown called out Kody’s actions in season one From the beginning of Sister Wives’ first season, Christine Brown knew she wouldn’t always be number one in Kody Brown’s heart. She saw his affection toward Robyn Brown and felt a distance in her marriage. She said in a confessional that Kody courting Robyn had taken a toll on their family.
Christi.
