Kody Brown is leaving Sister Wives.
After 16 years, Brown and his remaining wife, Robyn Brown, have exited the TLC series, according to the trailer for Season 21 released on September 14.
"After 16 years of filming Sister Wives, Kody and Robyn will not be returning to the show," the channel noted at the start of the trailer.
Kody Brown had four wives throughout his time on the show.
At one point, Kody had a total of four wives, three of whom have split from the reality star. However, his exes reacted to the shocking announcement in the trailer.
The family has experienced several dramatic moments in recent seasons, as the show featured seemingly endless tension and breakups within the family.
"I don’t know what it means," Christine Brown Woolley, who separated from Kody in 2021, revealed. "I have no idea."
Christine and Kody were together for 25 years before deciding to end their "spiritual marriage." They shared six children.
'I Was Flabbergasted'
Janelle Brown split from Kody Brown in 2022.
"I was flabbergasted, really, when I got the news," added Janelle Brown, who split from Kody in 2022.
The couple was together for 30 years and welcomed six children.
"I was actually surprised when I was told that Kody and Robyn weren’t coming back to the show," Meri Brown, who broke up with Kody in 2023, explained in the trailer.
Meri was married to Kody from 1990 to 2014, when they divorced so that Kody could legally marry his current wife, Robyn. Their spiritual romance ended in 2023. They had only one biological child.
