Robyn Brown wants Kody Brown to be present for all his children.
That’s why the 46-year-old—who shares Dayton, 25, Aurora, 23, Breanna, 21, Solomon, 13, and Ariella, 9, with the Sister Wives patriarch—is trying to bridge the distance between the father of 18 and his kids with former sister wives Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Christine Brown.
“I nag him about interacting with his other children,” Robyn said in E! News’ exclusive preview of Sister Wives’ Sept. 28 episode. “He pushes back, tells me to give him space.”
For his part, Kody noted that he would “really love to have a better relationship” with not only the children he shares with his exes, but with his former spouses themselves.
“I literally just compartmentalize the heartbreak,” he said. “I would love healing with Meri. I would love healing with Janelle. I would love healing with Christine and, of course, all of my children. But I think we’re in an impasse here because this healing can only happen on their terms.”
Christine—who in 2021 split from Kody, with whom she shares kids Aspyn, 30, Mykelti, 29, Paedon, 27, Gwendlyn, 23, and Ysabel, 22, and Truely, 15—noted that to be able to heal, there has to be trust.

However, Christine—who is mom to kids shares kids Aspyn, 30, Mykelti, 29, Paedon, 27, Gwendlyn, 23, and Ysabel, 22, and Truely, 15—believes healing requires a concerted effort from all members of the family.

“We all need to see each other again when it’s not around a funeral,” she added on the episode, which will air 18 months after Janelle and Kody’s son Garrison died at age 25, “so we can all start to heal a different way.”
And Meri—who shares Leon, 30, with Kody—expressed hope for civility across the board.
“I would absolutely love it,” she began, “if Kody and I, if Robin and I, if me and Christine, me and Janelle, could just get to a place with each other that we can be kind and civil to each other.”
