Sister WivesstarRobyn Brownhas been at the center of ongoing tensions with her husband’s three other wives throughout the show’s 19 seasons. By the time she met Kody Brown, he was already married to Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown. Her entry into the Brown family in 2010 disrupted the existing dynamic, as Kody’s favoritism toward her became a recurring source of conflict. Robyn’s closer bond with Kody, often perceived as deeper than his relationships with the other wives, created feelings of inadequacy and resentment among Meri, Janelle, and Christine, who felt sidelined.
Robyn’s inconsistent storytelling duringSister Wivesseason 19exacerbated these feuds, as her shifting narratives strained family trust. Herattempts to mediate Kody’s strained relationships with his adult childrenoften worsened tensions, particularly with Janelle’s and Christine’s kids, who felt Robyn’s children received preferential treatment. Meri, once close to Robyn, publicly distanced herself, refusing to take blame for their falling out, and accusing Robyn of not reciprocating efforts to mend their friendship. By 2025, with Meri, Janelle, and Christine having left Kody, Robyn remains his sole wife, living a monogamous life.
Does Robyn Still Clash With Christine?
The Two Women Haven’t Spoken In Years
Robyn and Christine’s relationship remains strained and distant as of 2025. After Christine left Kody Brown in 2021, she revealed that she hadn’t spoken to Robyn in years, choosing to focus on her new life with husband David Woolley. Christineexcluded Robyn from her 2023 wedding, inviting only Janelle among the sister wives. Robyn expressed a desire for cordial relations but feels burdened by criticism from Christine and others. Their limited interaction, primarily through shared family events like thebirth of Mykelti Brown’s child, haven’t brought theSister Wivesstars closer together.
Is Robyn Friends With Janelle?
They Were Driven Apart During The Pandemic
As of 2025,Robyn and Janelle’s relationshipis distant and tense. Janelle, who left Kody in 2022, has minimal contact with Robyn, focusing instead on her independence and family. Their strained dynamic stems fromJanelle’s belief that Kody and Robyn mistreated her children during the COVID-19pandemic. Kody and his fourth wife were so strict about viral mitigation that they ended up cutting off contact with some of the older children. While Robyn held out hope that Kody and Janelle could reunite, that ship seems to have sailed.
Is Robyn Getting Along With Meri?
The Two Women Were Once Close
Of all of Robyn’s relationships with her sister wives, she and Meri were the closest. Meri was the one who introduced Robyn to Kody, andencouraged their courtship and marriage. In many ways, Meri was looking for an ally when she pulled Robyn in, but she got more than she bargained for. As of June 2025, Robyn Brown and Meri Brown’s relationship is fractured. Meri, who left Kody Brown in 2023 after years of estrangement, has publicly expressed frustration with Robyn, denying responsibility for their troubled dynamic and noting Robyn’s lack of effort to maintain their friendship.
Once close, Robyn and Meri’s connection deteriorated due to Kody’s favoritism toward Robyn and differing family dynamics. Robyn has voiced a desire to continue a relationship with Meri, but Meri’s recent comments onSister Wivesand social media indicate unresolved tension. With Meri focusing on her new life, their interactions are minimal. The whole family recently gathered to bury25-year-old Garrision Brown, who passed away in 2024. For all intents and purposes, Robyn’s relationships with all three of her sister wives are over.
