As the curtain falls on Season 19 of Sister Wives, one thing is clear: Kody Brown’s love story with Robyn didn’t just complicate the family dynamic; it might’ve cracked the whole thing open.

In an exclusive sneak peek leading into the Sister Wives finale airing June 15, emotions run high, and so does the honesty. The tell-all features Kody and his ex-wives, Janelle and Christine, pulling back the curtain on the moments that shaped and shook their polygamous life.

And this time, it’s not just the women speaking up. Kody himself makes a statement that leaves no room for doubt about how deeply he fell for Robyn:

“Polygamy doesn’t actually work if you fall in love. I fell in love hard—hard.”

Here’s how the last chapter of this season breaks down what that love meant for everyone involved in the Sister Wives world.


The Sister Wives finale leans into emotional honesty

In typical Sister Wives fashion, the Season 19 finale dives right into the family’s most sensitive issues, and yes, Robyn is at the heart of it again. This time, it’s not about favoritism or logistics. It’s about emotion.

Janelle and Christine sit down with host Sukanya “Suki” Krishnan to talk about how Kody and Robyn’s courtship played out compared to theirs. Janelle doesn’t sugarcoat it.

“Robyn and Kody had a very long courtship compared to the rest of us,”

She says.

“It is not really appropriate for a married man to have a long courtship.”

That line alone draws a thick underline under the issue. While courtship might sound sweet, in the Sister Wives framework, it’s complicated when a man is already married to multiple women.

Christine, meanwhile, cuts even deeper:

“I think that it was a love story from the very, very, very beginning. It just was. And they had to just hide it.”

For her, this wasn’t just about romance. It was about trust and what she saw as its breakdown.


A long courtship and a lot of questions in Sister Wives

Kody and Robyn didn’t rush into things. That’s one of the first things Janelle points out in the finale preview. While the other relationships on Sister Wives moved quickly, Robyn and Kody took their time.

“Robyn and Kody had a very long courtship compared to the rest of us,”

Janelle says during her chat with host Sukanya “Suki” Krishnan.

“It is not really appropriate for a married man to have a long courtship.”

She estimates it lasted close to a year, much longer than her own experience with Kody. And she wonders what might have changed if she’d had that kind of time.

“If I had a year with Kody, I’m not sure I would have married him, honestly. I might have seen him for a little bit more who he was, you know what I mean?”

It’s a comment that speaks volumes about timing, attraction, and what we choose to see in people when we’re caught up in the moment.

But despite all of it, Janelle isn’t bitter. She adds,

“Regardless, I don’t need to go back and trash everything that was or happened.”

Christine calls it what it was: a hidden love story in Sister Wives

Christine Brown doesn’t mince words. Her view of Kody and Robyn’s relationship? A love story, plain and simple.

“I think that it was a love story from the very, very, very beginning. It just was,”

She says. And while she acknowledges the love was real, she also hints at the damage it caused behind the scenes.

“They had to just hide it,”

She adds. That hiding, according to Christine, created more than just tension. It created a sense of betrayal.

“But we all knew, and they didn’t admit it to us. So it’s another level of lying. It’s another level of betrayal. It’s another level of sorrow for them. All of it.”

This isn’t drama for drama’s sake. It’s a quiet heartbreak, the kind that builds over the years. In Sister Wives, it often played out subtly. But in this finale preview, it’s said out loud, without hesitation.


Kody finally says it: “I fell in love hard—hard” in Sister Wives

The biggest moment of the sneak peek comes from Kody himself. He sits across from Suki and drops the kind of confession that makes it clear why his family dynamic was always complicated.

“Polygamy doesn’t actually work if you fall in love,”

He says. And then comes the clincher:

“I fell in love hard—hard.”

It’s not just an admission. It’s a turning point. For years on Sister Wives, fans saw Kody struggle to balance his relationships. But now, he’s owning the fact that falling deeply for one person can unravel a plural marriage faster than any outside pressure.


There’s a bittersweetness to the moment. It’s not framed as an apology or a justification. It’s just the truth. And while Robyn doesn’t speak in this particular clip, her presence hangs heavy. Because the story isn’t just about Kody. It’s about how one relationship redefined everything around it.
