Memorable Sister Wives Moments

From wholesome memories to family drama, these are the Sister Wives moments we'll never forget. Look back at the Brown family's most shocking, funny, and emotional experiences from years past.

Meet the Browns

Christine, Meri, Kody, and Janelle introduced their plural family to the world all the way back in 2010. For the first time, people were able to look inside their lifestyle and learn how a family like theirs operates.

A Fourth Wife for Kody

Kody began courting Robyn and eventually, she and her three kids joined the family! All of the Browns celebrated together on Kody and Robyn's wedding day.

Sister Wives in the City

Kody, Christine, Meri, Robyn, and Janelle went to New York City for a feature on the news. It was their first television appearance as a polygamist family and they were excited to share their story.

Emergency Exit

The Browns were under investigation and feared being separated and facing jail time for their lifestyle. They decided to pack up everything and hit the road. But then, the press found out they were moving. They rushed their move even earlier and fled Utah that evening. Despite a couple of flat tires and 24 hours of high stress, they finally made it to their new home: Las Vegas.

4 Wives in Sin City

Meri, Christine, Janelle, and Robyn got full makeovers and hit the Las Vegas strip! They zip lined and explored the city. But by the end of the night, they ended up in a very unfamiliar side of Las Vegas and decided that was enough for one girls night.

Jealousy, Jealousy, Jealousy

For the first time, Robyn and Christine, discussed their rocky relationship. Christine explained her feelings of jealousy once Robyn entered the family. It was a sore point for the wives, but they agreed to work through it.

Mission Statement

With so many big changes going on in their lives, the Browns needed a nice retreat. So, they went to Sedona, Arizona with their family therapist, Pat. They did several workshops to improve their communication, including a family mission statement. Everyone wrote out words that represented their family's mission on blocks and arranged them in a creative way. It was a turning point for the spouses and reinforced why they chose plural marriage in the first place.

Divorce & Marriage

Meri met with a lawyer and decided to legally divorce Kody. She wanted to do this so he could legally marry Robyn and adopt her children. Although the divorce was for the good of the kids, it was a deeply emotional moment for both Meri and Robyn.

Catfished

Meri revealed that in a moment of loneliness, she went online to find community. She met a man and they began talking to each other regularly. The man made Meri laugh and feel happy during a time when she needed just that — but then, her new friend turned on her. There was a woman behind the man's fake profile and Meri felt threatened. She began pushing her loved ones away in order to protect them from this person.

See Ya, Las Vegas!

The Browns packed their things and made their big move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona. They were leaving a lot of their life behind, but they were ready to have a fresh start somewhere new.

"Welcome to My House"

Kody surprised the entire family with a special presentation on Christmas Eve. He displayed mockup designs of an enormous home he wanted to build for the Browns to all live in together. However, the wives weren't enthused in the slightest.

Polygamy Is Decriminalized

After fleeing Utah years ago, the Browns were ecstatic to learn that the state had officially decriminalized polygamy.

"I Am Going to Leave Kody"

After struggling repair her relationship with Kody, Christine made the decision to leave. She gathered Janelle, Meri, and Robyn together to break the news. Robyn and Meri were shocked, speechless, and processing while Janelle was upset, but didn't feel blindsided.

"A Knife in the Kidneys"

Kody, Robyn, Christine, Janelle, and Meri got together to have another family meeting after Christine's announcement. By the end of the conversation, Kody let all of his emotions out. We will never forget his infamous words for Christine: "Man, just the knife in the kidneys over all these years! And the sacrifices that I made to love you...wasted!"

Kody vs. Janelle

After months of friction about Kody's COVID rules and division among the family, Kody and Janelle's emotions boiled over. They both felt they weren't being heard and it's probably the angriest we've ever seen Janelle! In the end, Janelle confided in Christine and admitted she had been questioning her marriage to Kody.

"I'm Having Twins!"

Mykelti and Tony came over with a special surprise. They handed Christine ultrasound photos and revealed that they were expecting twins! Christine was so thrilled by the news.

Janelle's Truth

Janelle told Christine that there was a lot of distance between herself and Kody. She confessed that she didn't want Kody to come back and that she had no plans to reconcile with him.

"I still have family. I don't have a husband, I guess," she shared.

"It's Not What I Want"

Meri sat down with Robyn and Kody and told them she didn't want to be part of their plural marriage any longer. She knew that her relationship with Kody truly ended years ago and she didn't want to be alone anymore.

Robyn was shattered. Kodi described it as "a negotiation that was long overdue."

Christine's Wedding

Christine and David were surrounded by loved ones on their wedding day, October 7, 2023. The beautiful ceremony was followed by a lively outdoor reception full of dancing and memory making.

Janelle's Big Move

Janelle packed up and moved across the country to North Carolina! The move was a fresh start and allowed her to be closer to her grandkids. Christine, Truely, and David joined Janelle on her journey and they made a few fun stops along the way, including The Plotz Plot (a small museum with items people have left behind to represent letting go and moving forward). Janelle left behind a tree necklace Kody designed for her, a gesture that symbolized her leaving behind her old life and starting anew.

Bye Bye, B&B

It was the end of an era. After moving to Parowan, Utah to focus on her bed and breakfast, Meri decided to take the business in a new direction. Her final guests checked out and she envisioned a new life for the space, perhaps a small event venue. Meri was going through a transition in her work life as well as her personal life, which made this moment all the more important. Meri had new goals for herself and she was ready to embark on a new journey.

Laying Garrison to Rest

Everyone came together for Garrison's burial in Wyoming. The family had deep roots there and considered it "home" for many reasons, ultimately choosing it as his final resting place.

A Family Healing

Although the family was grieving, they found strength in each other. The siblings and parents were each other's support system and you could see how meaningful these bonds were during the gathering in Wyoming. When they needed each other most, they came together and helped each other find peace in the most difficult moments.
