Kody Brown's New Monogamous Journey: Will He Find a 'Diamond' in the Rough?

Sister Wives star Kody Brown (R) had a serious discussion with his fourth wife - Robyn Sullivan Brown (L) - about whether they wanted try plural marriage again after being 'forced' into monogamy when his first three wives divorced him in 2021, 2022, and 2023

Kody Brown's Shocking Confession: He Craves Another Wife

In a jaw-dropping conversation, Kody Brown, the patriarch of the reality TV show "Sister Wives," confessed to his fourth wife, Robyn Sullivan Brown, that he wants to try plural marriage again. The 56-year-old grandfather-of-six revealed his true intentions on the 20th season premiere of their TLC show, leaving viewers stunned and intrigued.

According to sources close to the family, Kody's motivation for seeking another wife is not love or companionship, but rather his desire for someone who is physically attractive. In a cringe-worthy moment, he confessed that "there's something I want maybe more than you do" – implying that he is drawn to Robyn's physical appearance.

The 56-year-old grandfather-of-six confessed during the 20th season premiere of his TLC reality show Sunday: 'There's something I want maybe more than you do. My primary motivation, I'm afraid at this state in my life, would be um... yeah, just how good looking she is'

Robyn, 46, responded with laughter and a gentle warning: "You don't understand how you're coming across." Kody, however, insisted that his intentions were genuine, saying "I'm not kidding." But what followed was a disturbing display of objectification, as he openly admitted to wanting another wife for physical pleasure alone.

The conversation took a dark turn when Robyn pointed out the reality of their situation: "You're just kind of being a bit of a pig right now. For me, I'm like, okay, well so you have the real relationship with me, but then she's just, what, a concubine?" She emphasized that most women crave commitment, love, and emotional intimacy in relationships – not just physical gratification.

In a candid confessional, Robyn expressed her reservations about returning to plural marriage: "If there was somebody who was really supportive and really wanted to work and really wanted a relationship with me as well as with you, I would consider it." But for Kody's sake, she clarified that the new wife would need to adore Robyn deeply, ensuring no competition for his attention.

At that, Kody's 46-year-old spouse threw her head back in laughter

The twist in this scandalous tale? Kody has been accused of fabricating his Mormon church excommunication story to make their family appear more mainstream. According to insiders, he was never actually kicked out by the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB) – a claim that could raise questions about his sincerity and integrity.

As the conversation came full circle, Kody professed his love for Robyn and hinted at a desire for monogamy: "So, it's you and me, baby. Monogamy, does it work for you? Will it work for you?" Robyn, seemingly unaware of her husband's true intentions, responded with enthusiasm: "Sounds good... It sounds good, I'm good."

This bombshell revelation raises serious concerns about Kody Brown's character and the dynamics within his family. Does he genuinely want a committed relationship or is he simply searching for another woman to fulfill his desires?

'And that would be the very worst reason!' Robyn smiled. 'You don't understand how you're coming across'

A Look Back at Kody's Troubled Past

Kody Brown has been married four times, with three of those marriages ending in divorce: Meri Barber Brown (32 years), Janelle Schriever Brown (29 years), and Christine Allred Woolley (27 years). He was also briefly married to Robyn Sullivan before legally divorcing his first wife. The 56-year-old has a total of 18 children, two of whom – Gabe and Madison – are reportedly estranged from their father.

The family's most recent tragedy occurred when Kody's son Robert Garrison Brown took his own life at the age of 25 in 2024, leaving many to question whether there is more to the story than meets the eye.

Wyoming-born Brown replied: 'I know! I know, I'm a guy and I don't freaking care'

In her confessional, Sullivan scoffed: 'You're just kind of being a bit of a pig right now...For me, I'm like, okay, well so you have the real relationship with me, but then she's just, what, a concubine?'

Robyn would 'really truly consider' going back to plural marriage if 'there was somebody who was really supportive and really wanted to work and really wanted a relationship with me as well as with you'

In his confessional, the polygamist patriarch clarified about finding a 'diamond' in the rough: 'Just take the sex out completely. She would have to adore Robyn so much that I would never, ever have to worry about whether she was competing with Robyn for my love and affection'
