Robyn Brown has mourned the end of her plural marriage in recent seasons of “Sister Wives” and made it clear that she’d love to live a polygamous life once again.
However, the reality star was taken aback when Kody Brown told her the one reason he’d consider adding another wife to their relationship in the Season 20 premiere.
The scene took place when the couple was at a restaurant discussing the status of their marriage now that Kody Brown’s relationships with Meri, Janelle and Christine Brown have ended.
“Do you see a value in (polygamy) for us and our future in any way?” Kody Brown asked his wife.
Robyn Brown said she’d be open to plural marriage again if they found someone who was “really supportive” and “really wanted a relationship with me as well as with you.”
Kody Brown, on the other hand, wasn’t so sure and said, “I think you and I share something very special, but if it’s not duplicatable, it could put us at risk.”
Roby Brown agreed that their relationship wasn’t worth risking unless they had a “guarantee” that things would work out with another woman.
Kody Brown then realized they weren’t speaking the same language.
“No, not the guarantee. Why would we put that at risk for anything other than in my brain, there’s something I want maybe more than you do,” he said.
Robyn Brown at first wasn’t sure what her husband is talking about, but then realized he was referring to sex.
“My primary motivation, I’m afraid at this state in my life, would be just how good looking she is. I’m not kidding,” he said.
“And that would be the very worst reason,” she said.
Robyn Brown then cautioned her husband that he doesn’t know how he’s “coming across.”
“I know. I’m a guy and I don’t freaking care,” he said.
In a confessional interview, Robyn Brown addressed her husband’s blunt statement, saying, “You’re just kind of being a bit of a pig right now.”
In his own confessional, Kody Brown explained himself.
“I’m being crass here for a reason. I’m saying, ‘Yeah, she looks hot. And that would make me want to talk to her. But I’m not interested in marrying her because that won’t matter when I’m getting nagged,’” he said.
Robyn Brown definitely didn’t see eye-to-eye with her husband on this one and explained why in her confessional.
“For me, I’m like, OK, well so you have the real relationship with me, but then she’s just, what, a concubine? Because that’s pretty much what that is. It should be more than that, for sure. Most women want commitment. They want love, they want tenderness, they want companionship, they want honesty and depth and and emotional intimacy,” she said.
Kody Brown then addressed the top at further length in an interview.
“If I was to ever try this again, (the other woman) would have to be an absolute diamond. And I’m not talking about just looks. … Just take the sex out completely. She would have to adore Robyn so much that I would never, ever have to worry about whether she was competing with Robyn for my love and affection,” he said.
