"Sister Wives" first aired in 2010 and documented the Brown family as they navigated their plural family lifestyle. The Browns initially lived in Utah – which, much like the United States, has strict laws prohibiting bigamy in its Mormon-heavy state – but fled to Nevada to begin a new life.

Kody had four wives: Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn, and a total of 18 children. Christine and Kody separated two years ago, and she has since re-married. Janelle and Kody separated in December 2022.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abandoned polygamy in 1890 and strictly prohibits it today. The Browns consider themselves to be fundamentalist Mormons.
