After several plural marriages, Kody Brown is focusing on monogamy towards the end of the year.
Kody, 54, and wife Robyn, 45, chat to host Sukanya Krishnan on Sunday's edition of Sister Wives: One on One.
Kody said he was “not interested” in welcoming another sister wife into the family after splitting from his wives Meri Brown, 52, Janelle Brown, 54, and Christine Brown, 51, within 14 months of each other .
He told Robyn: “I'd have to tell that woman I'll never love you as much as she does – now I know better.”
Janelle said of Kody, “He's talking more and more about it now, 'As we get closer to monogamy.' So I think that's where he's headed.”

Janelle said she didn't expect Kody and Robyn to seek out other sister wives to expand their family, as they seem “very happy” with the direction of their family after the series of breakups.
“I can’t predict that,” she said. “If I did that, I'll bet $1,000 right now and you'll come to me. 'If he does, I'll give you $1,000.'
Janelle said she feels like Kody and Robyn have “found something together at this stage in their lives that seems to be very profound,” adding, “I think it's working — and that's okay.”
Robyn didn't sound so optimistic as she said she found it “strange” to continue in a single marriage after entering into a plural marriage in the first place.
“To be loving and respectful to Kody, I want to say yes, but I just don't know how exactly that works,” Robyn said. “It’s strange – I find it disrespectful.”
In the special, Robyn said that it “felt disrespectful to be happy in her romance with Kody” since Janelle, Meri and Christine never officially gave her their blessing during the aforementioned relationship trio's breakup.
Krishnan told Robyn, “They want you to be happy with Kody. They all sat here and said, 'We want Robyn and Kody to be happy, they have a special relationship.' Christine, Meri and Janelle shared that with me.”
In response, Robyn said, “I need an off-camera look because I don’t know how it feels like it’s disrespectful to your kids; It feels disrespectful to the commitments I have made.
Kody chatted with host Sukanya Krishnan about the future of his marriage on Sunday's edition of Sister Wives: One on One
Kody said he was “not interested” in welcoming another sister wife into the family after splitting from his wives Meri Brown, 52, Janelle Brown, 54, and Christine Brown, 51, within 14 months of each other
Janelle said of Kody, “He's talking more and more now about, 'As we move toward monogamy' – I think that's the direction he's going.”
Kody and Robyn “have found something together at this time in their lives that seems to be very profound for each other,” Janelle said
Janelle said she didn't expect Kody and Robyn to seek out other sister wives to expand their family, as they seem “very happy” with the direction of their family after the series of breakups
“My commitment to her, to her children and to Kody in relation to this family is not broken.” And I don't know how to break it. I don't know how to deal with this.'
Krishnan replied, “I don't think you're stupid – I think you're asking to have a talk with your sister wives, and in order for you to be truly happy with Kody, you need to be released by them.”
Christine – who later married 59-year-old David Woolley – announced her and Kody's split in November 2021.
She said in an Instagram statement at the time: “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave.”
“We will continue to be a strong presence in each other's lives as we raise our wonderful children and support our wonderful family.” “At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate this period within our family.”
Janelle's split from Kody was revealed in late 2022 during Kody's Sister Wives: One on One special.
“I’m separated from Janelle and divorced from Christine,” he said. “Janelle has made it pretty clear to me that she is enjoying her life without me.”
Janelle confirmed that they had been “separated for several months” as she had “actually become indifferent” to the marriage.
Robyn didn't sound so optimistic as she found it “weird” to continue in a single marriage after entering into a plural marriage in the first place
In the special, a tearful Robyn said it “felt disrespectful to be happy in her romance with Kody” since Janelle, Meri and Christine never officially gave her their blessing while the relationship trio above had already broken up
In response, Robyn said, “I need an off-camera look because I don’t know how it feels like it’s disrespectful to your kids; It feels disrespectful to the commitments I have made.
Christine announced in November 2021 that she and Kody were separating
She married 59-year-old David Woolley and the couple tied the knot two months ago
“It wasn’t as heartbreaking for me as it was for Christine; “It was just like I was just grieving that this life was over,” she said. “We had this great run.”
Late last year, Meri announced she was splitting from Kody after more than three decades together.
The former couple said in a joint statement in January: “After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our own unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently end our marriage.”
“Throughout this process, we are committed to kindness and respect for each other and all members of our family, and we are also committed to the continued healing of all relationships within the family so that we can move forward with forgiveness, grace, and love.”
