SISTER Wives star Robyn Brown could be the fourth and final wife to leave Kody as their marriage has nearly hit rock bottom.
The Sister Wives Season 19 trailer debuted earlier this week, showing a glimpse into Kody, 55, and Robyn’s current relationship.
The update comes after his three wives – Janelle, 55, Christine, 52, and Meri, 53 – recently left him.
“I feel like the idiot that got left behind,” Robyn, 45, confessed to cameras.
A source close to the TLC family spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun, shedding light on what’s allegedly happening behind closed doors.
“Robyn and Kody are not doing well. They have been very unhappy. I mean, they’ve been unhappy since everything fell apart, but even more so now, it’s getting worse,” the source claimed.

A big reason for their relationship’s downfall is allegedly how “angry” Kody is.
“He’s just really mad at the world right now. He’s not who he used to be at all,” the source continued.
“He’s completely changed. He’s angry and he’s volatile, and he doesn’t like anybody that’s not worshiping him.”
TAKING CONTROL
The source also claimed that Kody is “very controlling,” which has led Robyn “to become submissive.”
Allegedly, Kody is “controlling so much of her life right now” that it has made her “not happy.”
The source explained that Robyn used to be more social, visit friends, and talk on the phone for hours — which no longer happens.
The trailer showed Robyn and Kody arguing while standing outside in the snow.
On the verge of breaking down, Robyn told Kody, “I’m having a hard time feeling like [I’m] losing respect for you.”
Kody shouted back, “Robyn, I can’t even get it straight with you right now!”
SECOND DIVORCE?
Things between the couple, who have been together for 14 years, have gotten so bad that the source believes Kody is “turning into her ex,” David Preston Jessop.
Who are Kody Brown’s wives and children?
Kody Brown shares 18 children with Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn. TLC’s Sister Wives showed the demise of his marriages to Meri, Janelle and Christine, as he only remains married to Robyn today.

They also think Robyn “could definitely leave” if things continue in the current direction.
“Robyn is not committed to staying if things don’t change. That’s just what it has come down to. Their marriage is not going to sustain this kind of control,” the insider claimed.
“She’s not going to let her kids be raised in the same volatile, angry state that her other kids were raised in.
“Kody is turning into a mirror image of David. She took her kids away from him and took his parental control away. You think she’s going to stick around for this? No,” they added.
The source reasoned that there was “so much love” early in Robyn and Kody’s relationship and that she “fell in love with the man who took care of his family.”
However, Kody is “no longer that person,” and the source claimed they could “definitely see her leaving if he continues this.”
REPEATING PATTERN
Robyn and David, who is battling Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, were married from 1999 to 2007.
Together, they welcomed children Dayton, 24, Aurora, 22, and Breanna, 19.
Kody adopted the three kids when he and Robyn legally married in 2014, later welcoming two children of their own, Solomon, 12, and Ariella, 8.
“Her kids are still young, and she’s financially reliant on Kody. So, it would be tough to leave the marriage at this point in time,” the source claimed, noting that Kody has “pulled her away from her business ventures.”
Robyn used to manage the online shop My Sister Wife’s Closet, but it has not been in business for quite some time.
“The kids and money are keeping her in the marriage, truthfully,” the insider added.
Robyn has confessed in the past, “I ended my first marriage because of abuse. My kids come first always.”
She also revealed in a 2021 episode of Sister Wives that there was a lot of fighting and pain in her past marriage.
“I promised myself as I came out of my divorce, I was like, ‘If I ever marry again, I’m just going to be more cautious and more careful.’”
EX-WIVES’ LIVES
As seen in the new season clip, Kody’s disagreements with Meri and Janelle had hit an all-time low.
Meri, who now lives in Utah, said she and her ex were “officially done.”
Meanwhile, Janelle admitted, “Kody and I have officially said it’s not working.”
Christine, for her part, introduced her now-husband, David Woolley, to the family.
“Christine shoves her happiness in everyone’s faces. She’s like Little Miss Sunshine and life is perfect and everyone is drawn to her still,” the source told The U.S. Sun.
“It kind of pisses David off, and especially with Janelle being Christine’s bestie and following the happy train.”
Janelle, who lost her son Garrison in March, even threatened to “lawyer up,” claiming Kody had not talked to her about the land of property she owns on Coyote Pass – that has yet to break ground.
More will be revealed when Season 19 of Sister Wives premieres on Sunday, September 15, at 10 pm Eastern on TLC.
