Robyn Brown reflected on the troubling times she and Kody Brown faced in Flagstaff, Arizona, before selling their tainted home on the latest episode of Sister Wives.
“The new home for me is like a new beginning,” Robyn, 47, said during the Sunday, October 12, episode of the TLC series. “I see a lot of future there, which is really great.”
While Robyn and Kody, 56, decided to stay in Arizona, they both agreed that selling the home where their family broke up was the ideal way to “start over” with their family unit.
“I was in a deep, deep depression in this house while the splits were happening, while the divorces were happening,” Robyn confessed, referring to Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Christine Brown all leaving Kody over a three-year period. “Every split happened when … we were living in this [house].”
Christine, 53, announced her split from Kody in November 2021 after more than 25 years of marriage. Janelle, 56, confirmed her separation from Kody in December 2022 nearly 30 years after they began their spiritual marriage.
Meri, 54, released a joint statement with Kody in January 2023, confirming that they had parted ways after more than three decades together. Robyn has remained committed to Kody through it all, despite having their own issues with becoming monogamous.
“This house had a series of sad events. First of all, I start breaking up with my family, I get covid, you know, Christine leaves,” Kody recalled of the series of unfortunate events they had to endure at their Flagstaff house. “We [had] kind of a nasty Christmas and then Christmas that we [didn’t] even do together.
He noted it was “just one thing after another,” including getting their news that his and Janelle’s son Garrison had died in March 2024. (Garrison died by suicide at the age of 25.)
“This place has pain in it,” Kody said. He later told the cameras, “This is where my heart broke right here,” pointing to the house. “We want a new beginning, something different, something new,” Kody added.
While Christine claimed she “found out from a random stranger online” that Kody and Robyn were selling their house, she applauded them for moving forward.
“Kody probably has a lot of hard memories in that house. He had three wives leave him while he lived in that house,” she explained. “I think it’s a good idea for him to move. Move and be done with that. Close that door [and] start another chapter, a whole other life with Robyn.”
Kody and Robyn share two biological children, Solomon, 13, and Ariella, 9. Kody is also the stepfather of Robyn’s three eldest children from her first marriage: Dayton, 25, Aurora, 23, and Breanna, 21.
In April 2024, the couple listed their five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Flagstaff for $1.65 million, per the listing site. According to Sunday’s Sister Wives episode, the house sold quickly, and the family moved into their new home nearby shortly thereafter.
“We’ll be leaving a lot of pain and hard memories behind,” Robyn said on the episode. “I think too, just the space itself is going to be really, really conducive to some of the things that we want to do with our future.”
One year after their move, Kody, Robyn, Meri and Janelle sold their Coyote Pass property in Arizona for $1.5 million. The 14-acre property was purchased by the Browns in 2018 and became a point of contention after Kody’s respective splits.
Christine was the only one of Kody’s exes who didn’t get money from the sale, as she gave her shares to Kody and Robyn when she left him in 2021. Christine, however, kept the money from the sale of her Arizona home before moving to Utah and marrying David Woolley in October 2023.
Sister Wives airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
