The American reality television series, The Sister Wives, starring Meri Brown, is broadcasted on TLC and first premiered on September 26, 2010. The series explores the everyday life of a polygamist family of Kody Brown, his wife Robyn, ex-wives: Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown, and their 18 children. The series started filming when they were living in Lehi, Utah, and continued when they moved to Las Vegas in 2011, and to Flagstaff, Arizona, in 2018.
The show began with Brown and his four wives with a single goal in mind: to make the public aware of polygamist families and fight against societal prejudices. According to Brown, his polygamist arrangement is legal because he is married to only one woman at one time, while the other marriages are “spiritual unions.” It aired for 17 seasons with a total of 201 episodes.
The show’s first season started off on August 6, 2010, on Television Critics Association summer media tour in Beverly Hills, with Kody’s courting of and marriage to his fourth wife, Robyn, who was the first new wife to enter the family in a very long time. The first episode aired for an hour on TLC on September 26, 2010, and continued with six episodes ending on October 17, 2010.
The announcement of Meri’s split from Kody after 32 years of relationship came more than seven months ago. In a joint statement, the former couple shared their decision to terminate their marriage relationship permanently.
Despite their challenges, Meri and Kody expressed their commitment to kindness, respect, and healing within their family. Meri’s separation from Kody is not the only change within the Brown family. Christine Brown and Janelle Brown, who were also married to Kody, have since split from the former businessman.
Currently, Robyn Brown remains the last remaining spouse in Kody’s life. These transformations have undoubtedly reshaped the family dynamics, paving the way for new beginnings.
