Other than rumors about Meri Barber leaving the show because she allegedly can no longer hack a polygamous lifestyle, there is really nothing quite specific about what fans could expect when the American reality TV series “Sister Wives” returns on TLC later this year for its Season 6.
It looks like there is now something definite that fans of the show could look forward to when “Sister Wives” returns to the small screens as Robyn Sullivan Brown, the fourth and newly-wedded wife of Kody Brown is now pregnant with their second child together.
Robyn and Kody actually confirmed the pregnancy during a recent interview with People magazine where the couple said that they are happy to announce that they are eagerly anticipating the birth of a new member of the family.
The couple did not specify the exact delivery date of Robyn but she was apparently sporting a sizeable baby bump during the exclusive interview with People magazine. And it looks likely that Robyn will give birth at about the time when Season 6 of “Sister Wives” is back on TV, giving the show an instant and exciting new plot which fans could really look forward to, details Starcasm.
Latest reports however indicate that Robyn is due on January 7, 2016, which is just about right for Season 6 of “Sister Wives.”
While Robyn’s current pregnancy will just be her second with Kody, the child is to become the 18th member of the Brown kids as the patriarch also has children with his three other spiritual wives including Meri Barber, Janelle, and Christine.
Kody has one child with Meri, six children with Janelle, six children with Christine, and one child with Robyn. But Robyn has three children by her previous marriage.
Self-sacrifice
When Meri Barber divorced Kody Brown in September last year after 25 years of marriage, which was aired in the series finale of Season 5 of “Sister Wives” on TLC, she was actually doing a self-sacrifice.
She sacrificed her marriage to Kody in order for her spiritual husband to marry his fourth wife Robyn so that she and Kody can legally adopt Robyn’s three kids from her previous marriage.
Apparently, in order to get custody of the three children, Kody will formally adopt the kids and his official marriage with Robyn last December 2014 is the first step in the legal process.
However, Kody and Robyn will be up for a tough hurdle as Robyn’s ex-husband is planning to give them a run for the money in as far as children custody is concerned. According to sources, he is planning to make it difficult for both Robyn and Kody to gain custody over the three kids, which would possibly be another centerpiece plotline of the show for Season 6.
Now it turns out that what Meri did is actually a supreme sacrifice because it seems that she is happy with her decision to divorce Kody but remain spiritually married to him.
The under aged girl backfired on Meri Barber, so then she pushed for Robyn to be #4 wife and now that too has backfired. Kody fell head over heels in love with Robyn, much to the dismay of the other wives. Janelle and Christine took it harder than Meri Barber, although it’s weighing more and more on Meri Barber, especially now with Robyn being with child. It’s a mess for everyone except Kody and Robyn Brown, the soul-mate lovers and expectant parents to be. The discord has even extended to some of the children of the various family sub-groups. There is an underlying uneasiness throughout and seemingly no way to return to bygone days of harmony and happiness. The situation is looking as though there will eventually be an even higher degree of deterioration. Time will surely tell. The dynamics have certainly changed, and not for the better. Janelle needs your prayers, save a few for Christine too. Even Meri Barber deserves a mention, the state she’s in.
