TLC fans were introduced to the Brown family in 2010 when he was legally married to Meri and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Meri legally wed Kody, 55, in 1990, becoming his first wife<\/a>. The plural family expanded their brood in 1993 when Kody spiritually married Janelle Brown<\/strong><\/a>. In 1994, Christine entered into a spiritual union with the patriarch.<\/p>\nWhen Robyn began dating Kody in 2010, she already had three children from a prior marriage. Four years later, Meri and Kody legally divorced and he married Robyn<\/a> and then adopted her children<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhile Christine alleged that was Robyn\u2019s plan all along, she denied the accusations. \u201cThe idea that I, like, planted an idea in Meri\u2019s head is an absolute lie,\u201d Robyn said on Sunday\u2019s episode. \u201cI never said it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She claimed, \u201cI don\u2019t even know anyone who divorced their first wife so that the second wife could adopt kids. I\u2019ve never even heard of that before.\u201d<\/p>\n
