Sister Wives stars Kody Brown, his four wives, and their 18 kids.
A lot has changed since the show's debut in 2010, and we've got the scoop on where the
cast is today.
Is making another baby on any of the wives' radars, or are the Browns done with that phase
of life?
Apparently, Kody's fourth wife, Robyn, hasn't completely ruled out adding more kids to the
fam.
She told Us Weekly,
"When we grow our family, it's sort of by inspiration.
At this point we feel like we're done, but we're open to God's inspiration...If we were
blessed with more children, of course I would be totally open to that."
Robyn and Kody already have two biological kids together.
You may recall that Kody divorced his only legal wife, Meri, so he could adopt Robyn's
kids from her previous marriage.
Kody told Us Weekly that he feels "tempted" to have another baby, but he's currently focusing
on being a grandpa.
"Honestly, I'm able to go hold him, see him, rock him, but I'm not stuck there."
"That's the best part!"
"If he gets fussy, mom and dad take him."
Meri Brown still owns her bed and breakfast in Utah, and she seems to be staying busy
as a LuLaRoe consultant.
She regularly posts about her business friends and trips in her LuLaRoe Facebook group and
on Instagram.
However, a photo she shared on Instagram in July 2019 had people speculating that she
may have left husband Kody after breaking free from the Sister Wives lifestyle.
Shown in a pic with a man who was most certainly not Kody, she captioned the post with:
"And then you meet someone who was right in front of you all along..."
One follower outright asked if she had left Kody, and Meri didn't respond to that comment,
but sister wife Robyn's former friend did dish some dirt, telling InTouch Weekly,
"[Meri is] seeing so many guys [but is still] spiritually married [to Kody]...[She's] probably
not going to become public with anybody until they're serious, because she knows the scrutiny
she'll get and her biggest thing right now is keeping her fans happy and promoting her
business."
Ever since Sister Wives began airing in 2010, Kody has been asked repeatedly if another
sister wife is in the cards for him.
Despite publicly saying it's not happening, rumors have continued to swirl that the family
is open to the idea of adding another woman to the equation.
Kody told Us Weekly in January 2019,
"We're not even considering it anymore.
There was an energy, some sort of spiritual thing, inspiration from god, if you will,
that the family wasn't complete...It's a door we basically said we're closing."
You would think that would pretty much end all the fifth wife rumors for the Brown family,
but apparently not.
In May 2019, InTouch Weekly suggested otherwise.
A source told the tabloid,
"For a guy with four wives and almost two dozen kids, Kody's acting like he's on the
lookout."
As juicy as that sounds, until Kody puts out an official statement, it's fair to take his
word at face value and assume the ship carrying a fifth wife has sailed.
"I want all the thoughts to be held for just a second, okay?"
Kody and his family fled Utah out of fear that they'd be prosecuted for their polygamist
lifestyle, but just how safe is the family openly living its lifestyle in Arizona?
Some legal experts seem to think the brood could still face legal issues.
One legal expert told Radar Online,
"Polygamy is unlawful in Arizona...Under Arizona's Constitution, living with one wife and a spiritual
wife, or two or three etc., could meet the definition of 'polygamous co-habitation,'
which is prohibited."
Even if the family lives in four separate dwellings miles apart, another legal expert
told the tab that the Browns' arrangement could still prove problematic for Kody and
all the sister wives.
The source told Radar Online,
"Bigamy, which is one person married to two people at the same time, is a class 5 felony.
He could get half a year to two-and-a-half years.
He could get probation up to three years and $150,000 in fines."
All that said, the legal expert specified that the decision to press charges rests with
prosecutors.
As of May 2020, Maddie Brush lives in North Carolina with her little family.
Her husband Caleb and son Axel relocated to the Tar Heel state for Caleb's job in 2019.
But moving wasn't the only recent life change for Janelle Brown and Kody's oldest daughter.
Maddie and Caleb also welcomed a second child, daughter Evangalynn, in August 2019.
After her birth, Evangalynn was diagnosed with a rare medical condition called FATCO
syndrome, where bones in extremities do not fully develop in utero.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Maddie told her followers she was originally afraid to share
the details about her newborn, but added,
"As a family, we have decided to be open as we walk through this journey.
We want Evie to always feel pride in who she is, and all that God gave her."
Kody and Meri Brown's daughter, Mariah, is reportedly living in Chicago with her fiancee,
Audrey.
She's apparently gotten into fitness and regularly shares posts about her healthy lifestyle on
Instagram.
She posted in April 2019 that she was heading to Bali to train to be a yoga instructor.
Kody and Janelle Brown's son, Logan, is still with his fiancee, Michelle, who appeared on
several episodes of Sister Wives.
The couple has been together for more than four years, but they're taking their time
getting to the altar.
According to InTouch Weekly, in January 2019, Michelle said in a since-deleted tweet:
"Weddings are so expensive.
This is about to be a 4 year engagement."
The publication reported that Michelle planned on a long engagement as they focused on college
and saving money.
According to Michelle's social media, she earned her master's degree in Criminal Justice
from the University of Las Vegas in May 2018, so fans might be hearing wedding bells soon!
Kody and Christine Brown's daughters, Aspyn Thompson and Mykelti Padron, both had pretty
cool weddings featured on Sister Wives, and they're both seemingly enjoying the married
life.
Mykelti said she wanted to be a fashion designer on Sister Wives, and she's stayed true to
her interests by selling Color Street nail polish.
Meanwhile, Aspyn and husband Mitch Thompson celebrated their first wedding anniversary
in June 2019.
