Kody and Robyn Brown Exit "Sister Wives" After 16 Years — And the Ex-Wives' Reactions Say It All

After sixteen years on TLC, Kody and Robyn Brown are stepping away from“Sister Wives.”The announcement didn’t come from the couple themselves. It came from the show’s new Season 21 trailer, where neither of them appears or comments. That’s a quiet exit for two people who have been at the center of the series since its September 2010 premiere.

The bigger story might be how the news landed with Kody’s ex-wives. Christine, Janelle, and Meri each reacted with visible shock in their confessionals, with one admitting she was“flabbergasted”when she got the news. Robyn is Kody’s only remaining wife after the separations from Christine in 2021 and Janelle and Meri in 2022, which means the upcoming season puts the three women front and center for the first time.

The trailer teases awkward meetups between the ex-wives and a moment where they melt down jewelry from Kody. Season 21 premieres Sunday, Oct. 4, at 10 p.m. ET on TLC. So, with Kody and Robyn out of the picture, are you more excited for this season than ever? Let us know in the comments.
