Does Kody Brown Have A New Wife? Unpacking The Sister Wives Rumors
Since its debut in 2010, TLC's Sister Wives has captivated audiences, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of Kody Brown, his four wives, and their large polygamist family. Over the years, viewers have witnessed the complexities, joys, and heartbreaks of plural marriage. However, recent seasons have seen a dramatic shift, with Kody's once-large family unit shrinking significantly. As rumors swirl and the show promises its "most explosive yet" season, one question remains at the forefront of every fan's mind: Does Kody Brown have a new wife? Let's dive into the truth behind the headlines, the ongoing speculation, and Kody's current relationship status.
Kody Brown's Current Marital Status: A Look at 2024 and Beyond
For years, Kody Brown was the patriarch of a plural family, married to Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn. However, the landscape of his relationships has drastically changed. As of 2024, and looking ahead into 2025, the answer to whether Kody Brown has a new wife is a resounding no—at least not yet.
In 2024, Kody Brown isn't tying the knot with anyone new. His marital status has been significantly streamlined. Kody separated from his other wives, Christine, Janelle, and Meri, leaving Robyn Brown as his only legal wife. This marks a profound shift from the polygamist lifestyle that first brought the Brown family into the public eye.
The Dissolution of Plural Marriage: Where Do Kody's Wives Stand?
The journey to Kody having only one wife has been a long and often painful one, extensively documented on Sister Wives. Each separation brought its own set of challenges and emotional turmoil:
- Christine Brown: Kody’s third wife, Christine, married him in 1994. Their marriage lasted for 27 years before they finalized their divorce in 2021. This decision was largely prompted by Christine’s desire to return to Utah, a move that symbolized her complete break from the plural marriage and Kody.
- Meri Brown: Meri, Kody's first wife, announced the end of her marriage to Kody earlier this year. Their relationship had been strained for many years, often appearing more platonic than romantic on screen.
- Janelle Brown: Janelle and Kody Brown are currently separated. While not a formal divorce yet, their relationship has also fractured, leaving Kody with significantly fewer familial connections than he once had.
This leaves Robyn Brown as Kody’s current and only wife. The series is now focusing on the aftermath of these family changes and even Christine’s new marriage, showcasing a very different dynamic for the Brown family.
Kody's Openness to Remarrying: A Search for an "Obedient Wife"?
Despite his shrinking family, Kody Brown has not shied away from discussing his future relationship prospects. In an interview with *People* in August 2023, Kody revealed that he would be open to "marrying again" with a new wife after the significant changes in his life. This statement fueled much speculation among fans, especially given Kody's perceived character.

Many viewers and even the data suggest that Kody Brown is a "complete and perfect example of a narcissist," always portraying himself as "the hero or victim, never the problem." This perception is reinforced by the sentiment that "the patriarch has refused to accept responsibility for his failed relationships with Meri, Janelle, and Christine Brown." Instead, it appears Kody is "returning to the dating scene in search of a more obedient wife." This desire for obedience, rather than partnership, has been a point of contention and criticism among fans, with some even humorously suggesting that if they were Kody's fifth wife, they'd be a "widow on day 2" from the wrath of scorned women who have survived "jerks like him."
Insiders have even alleged that Kody considered courting a new wife to keep Robyn Brown happy and potentially "save the show." The truth is, a fifth wife for Kody Brown would certainly provide the kind of narrative push needed to propel Sister Wives into a brand new season in 2024, should an announcement for the show’s renewal materialize.
The Swirling Rumors: Who is Bonnie Dwyer? Who is Leah Marie Brown?
The question "Does Kody Brown have a new wife?" has led to a flurry of rumors, with specific names often surfacing. One prominent rumor suggested that "Kody Brown is said to have a new wife, Bonnie Dwyer," with some even claiming, "Kody Brown’s fifth wife is named Bonnie Dwyer."
Public response to Kody Brown’s new wife rumors, particularly concerning Bonnie, has been a blend of curiosity and criticism. Many fans expressed their opinions on social media, with "some support[ing] the idea of Kody marrying Bonnie, while others believe it complicates family dynamics." However, as of now, these remain just rumors. Kody Brown has not married Bonnie Dwyer.
Another name that briefly surfaced in speculation was Leah Marie Brown. The idea that "Kody Brown married first wife Meri the same year this possible fifth wife was born" added a bizarre layer to the rumors, suggesting a significant age gap if "Leah Marie Brown would have been 28 at the time of a wedding to Kody, who is 51." While Kody has been linked to an American actress amidst his current marriage, these connections often lead fans to believe a "fraudulent storyline is approaching" for the show, rather than a genuine new relationship.
Sister Wives Season 19: Delivering the "Shocking Truth"?
Fans of Sister Wives have been "on the edge of their seats as rumors swirled about Kody Brown’s personal life." The upcoming season of Sister Wives promises to be "the most explosive yet, with new revelations set to rock the Brown family." There have even been speculative claims like "Kody announces his new wife in Sister Wives Season 19."
While the show thrives on drama and anticipation, the official stance remains that "so far, Kody Brown has not married again, and Robyn Brown is his last wife." It's plausible that the "shocking truth" Season 19 aims to deliver might be about Kody's dating life, his reflections on his failed plural marriage, or even the definitive end of his relationships with Meri and Janelle, rather than the immediate announcement of a new wife.
The series has garnered a massive following since its debut in 2010, and viewers are constantly eager for updates on Kody's relationships with Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, which have all had their "ups and downs." The continued focus on Kody and Robyn, making Robyn Kody’s only wife, offers a new dynamic for the show, even if it's in a "reduced format" as TLC focuses on the aftermath of the family changes.
Conclusion: Kody's Future - Solo or Seeking?
In summary, despite persistent rumors and Kody Brown's own stated openness to finding a new partner, as of 2024 and 2025, Kody Brown does not have a new wife. His plural marriage has dissolved, leaving Robyn Brown as his sole legal wife. The dramatic shifts in his family dynamic have been a central focus of Sister Wives, leading to heightened anticipation for new seasons.
While Kody has expressed a desire to re-enter the dating scene, perhaps in search of a "more obedient wife," the specific rumors about individuals like Bonnie Dwyer or Leah Marie Brown have not materialized into actual marriages. The show continues to navigate the aftermath of his failed relationships, and any future "new wife" storyline would undoubtedly be a major plot point, whether it's a genuine development or a narrative device for the show.
For now, Kody Brown's journey is one of reflection, adaptation, and potentially, a solo path in the dating world, all under the watchful eye of millions of Sister Wives fans.
