'Sister Wives' Stars Meri & Kody Brown Get Back To Their Biggest Fights

It's never smooth sailing with Meri Brown and Kody Brown as they continue to be at loggerheads.

The estranged couple had their fair share of disagreements while they were still married, and even after pulling the plug on their union, they still have active arguments. Most of their fights, however, have been over money and conjugal property. 

Meri Brown and Kody Brown had their nuptials in 1990 and remained together till 2023. In 2014, Meri legally divorced him but remained spiritually married until their final split. The estranged lovers share a child, Leon Brown. 

Meri and Kody have had a rocky relationship for years, even before they were separated. The topics of their biggest arguments revolved around money and property.

Part two of the "Sister Wives: 1-on-1 special, aired on Sunday, January 18, showing the former lovers talking about the origin of their brawls over money.

Both of them revealed that their financial arguments dated back to the sale of their Las Vegas house and not the Coyote Pass property that they co-owned with Janelle Brown and Robyn Brown, contrary to popular opinion. 

USMagazine reported that Kody claimed that Meri did not want to split the proceeds from the sale of the house, alleging that she tried to keep all the money.

Meri, on the other hand, stated that she never fought her ex-husband on the matter, with the understanding that they were legally married when they purchased the property.

Kody and Meri lived in the Las Vegas house from 2011 to 2018 with sister wives Christine, Janelle, and Robyn Brown, but every wife had their own home on adjoining lots in a cul-de-sac.

When Kody claimed his ex-wife Meri did not want to keep to their divorce decree and split the money down the middle, she clapped back.

Meri explained that because she was the only one who lived in the house for the majority of the time, it would have made sense for her to have the "full amount of the equity," but she never asked for all the money.

She claimed she made all the payments, but still kept his name on the deed, and that every penny of the house she sold in Vegas went into Robyn's Arizona house.

Kody and his first wife fought over many things, including the way he treats her and their child, as opposed to the other sister wives and their kids. This issue became heightened over the sharing of their landed property in Arizona.

The mother of one accused Kody of favoring wives with more children, as he claimed she was entitled to just two acres, while wives with more children would receive larger shares. 

The Blast notes that she pushed for receiving an equal share as she had contributed to the family over the years in various ways, ranging from funding the property to supporting the kids' education. She also expressed concerns about feeling excluded from decisions relating to family properties. 

Kody remains married only to Robyn, as his marriages to Meri, Janelle, and Christine ended between 2021 and 2023.

Speaking on the challenges of practicing polygamy and aspirations to return to the system, Kody revealed that bad blood ensued between his exes, kids, and himself, hence he has no desire to go through it again. 

"I had 18 kids with four wives," It has been three divorces, and I would never do that again — I would never marry again," he disclosed.

As reported by The Blast, the TV personality and his current wife have talked about expanding their family, adding a new wife into the mix, where Robyn revealed that it would only be possible if the new woman were ready to have a relationship with both of them. 

Kody reiterated that he was done with polygamy if Robyn was okay with it.

As 2025 neared its end, the former husband of four expressed his desire to apologise to his ex-wives properly. The Blast reported that he acknowledged his faults and shared his intention to take responsibility for his part in the family breakdown.

This came after their big fight over the sale of their jointly owned Coyote Pass. The Coyote Pass caused a great feud with the exes, giving him the silent treatment.

Kody turned to his faith, praying for guidance on how to approach each wife, make peace, apologise for his shortcomings, and set them free. 

Will Meri Brown and Kody Brown ever finally bury the hatchet?
