\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tKody Brown\u2019s relationships with Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown and Robyn Brown have all had their ups and downs \u2014 but many Sister Wives viewers were shocked when nearly all his wives started to leave him. 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
\u201cI think they\u2019re trash-talking me because \u2026 if I\u2019m small [it] makes them feel OK for how they treated me,\u201d Kody said, referring to Janelle hanging out with Christine after her November 2021 breakup<\/a> with Kody. Janelle, meanwhile, confirmed in December 2022 that she and Kody were separated.<\/p>\nMeri Brown<\/strong><\/a> announced in January that she and Kody had also ended their romantic relationship, leaving only Robyn Brown<\/strong><\/a> married to the head of the family.<\/p>\nScroll down for the biggest bombshells from part 1 of season 18\u2019s Sister: Wives: 1-on-1<\/em>:<\/p>\nKody Says He \u2018Wasn\u2019t Vetting\u2019 Wives to \u2018Be Compatible\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\nKody told host Sukanya Krishnan<\/strong> that \u201cdivorce messes with you\u201d after splitting with three of his four wives. He revealed in the tell-all, which was tapped after season 18 ended filming in December 2022, that he was only ever \u201cin love\u201d with Robyn.<\/p>\n\u201cI look back and because I was so anxious to be living the principle of plural marriage, I wasn\u2019t vetting who I was marrying to be compatible with me,\u201d Kody explained. \u201cThe blame lays on one thing and one thing only. If you\u2019re going to marry and you\u2019re going to marry for eternity, you should start out in love.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that he had blinders on going into his first three unions. \u201cI thought I could make up the difference. I thought everything in this situation with all three wives, this isn\u2019t about being, like, in love,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis is about growing a family together. We love each other. We\u2019re required. The gospel requires us to love each other. But I never really actually suffered in a fit of passion in this place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Kody](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kody-Brown-Calls-Christine-and-Janelle-s-Bond-a-Big-F-You-4.png?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

\n Kody Brown.<\/span> TLC\/YouTube<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nRobyn Didn\u2019t Know Kody Cried With \u2018Joy\u2019 After Their 1st Encounter<\/strong><\/h3>\n\u201cI met Robyn and there was a safety and a vulnerability that I had never experienced in my life,\u201d Kody revealed. \u201cAnd I met her, and I started weeping for joy<\/a> and didn\u2019t stop for months. Let\u2019s just say the two of us had a click. Whereas I was working for years with these others to get them to get this place. Never had the click.\u201d<\/p>\nAfter learning about Kody\u2019s remarks, Robyn told Krishnan during the sit-down, \u201cI did not know that until just recently. I wonder if it\u2019s just the rewriting of history, because there seems to be a lot of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cI don\u2019t know what else I was supposed to do, but I did my best to not have it be something that was painful for them. I constantly was suppressing and hiding my relationship in any kind of connection I had with Kody.\u201d<\/p>\n
Christine\u2019s Heart \u2018Broke\u2019 When She Realized Kody Was \u2018In Love\u2019 With Robyn<\/strong><\/h3>\nChristine, for her part, detailed the \u201cyucky day\u201d when she realized that Kody was head over heels for Robyn and their dynamic<\/a> was therefore going to change.<\/p>\n\u201cIt broke my heart. That was one of my first moments of heartbreak,\u201d Christine said, explaining that the moment transpired before Kody was about to go on a date with Robyn prior to their marriage. She remembered Kody being nervous for the night, which led Christine to say out loud, \u201cOh, you\u2019re in love with her.\u201d While Kody was initially taken aback by Christine\u2019s comment, he eventually agreed.<\/p>\n
Christine, who shares six children with Kody, recalled her former spouse getting \u201creally giddy\u201d thinking about Robyn in her presence. \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh God!\u2019 It hurt. It hurts so bad,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s so bad because you realize at that point, everything now is going to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kody Admits He\u2019s \u2018Guilty\u2019 of \u2018Not Being in Love\u2019 With Exes<\/strong><\/h3>\nKody looked back at his family\u2019s shift following Christine\u2019s 2021 exit from their family, saying that it changed how he approached all his marriages. \u201cHere\u2019s what\u2019s happened, I\u2019ve spent two years watching and seeing Christine and Janelle talk about me without me, and they\u2019re just trash-talking me,\u201d he alleged. \u201cSo I\u2019m, like, going I don\u2019t want to ask about anybody else because I don\u2019t want anybody talking about me.\u201d<\/p>\n
He claimed that his exes were bad-mouthing him \u201cbecause [they think] I\u2019m guilty, actually, yes I am, of not loving them.\u201d Kody clarified that he \u201cgot angry\u201d over the trash-talking, but his guilt stemmed from years prior.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was guilty of not being in love with them. It was a guilt from the beginning,\u201d Kody continued. \u201cI married on a premise that was very different than [what] romantic love is.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then confessed that he\u2019s \u201cin a place\u201d where he \u201cwould like romantic love with Janelle\u201d if they work out their differences. \u201cChristine was always in a place where she wanted romantic love with me,\u201d Kody added.<\/p>\n\n![\"Kody](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kody-Brown-Calls-Christine-and-Janelle-s-Bond-a-Big-F-You-3.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

Maybe he\u2019s jealous that we coparented.\u201d<\/p>\n
She noted that the change in dynamic \u201csucks\u201d for Kody because he finally sees what being a sister wife was like. \u201cIt sucks that sometimes [Janelle] picked me over you because she can talk to me and I will work things out with her. And because we\u2019ve had our fights and we\u2019ve had our disagreements, but we work them out,\u201d Christine explained. \u201cThis is what it\u2019s been like for 26 years. \u2018Take off your blinders and look and see what it\u2019s like for us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
