And, with all the stories out there, it can often be difficult to separate fact from fiction.
Robyn has led an even more interesting life than even the most avid viewers of the show know about.
Kody isn’t her first husband
Robyn was married before she met Kody.
Her first marriage to David Jessop lasted from 1999 to 2007, and the couple had three children together.
In 2011, she revealed why she left her ex-husband.
She claimed on Twitter (viaE!
News) that Jessop was abusive.
“Just to clarify, I do not tolerate my kids getting bullied,” she wrote in 2011.
“I ended my first marriage because of abuse.
My kids come first ALWAYS.”
Radar Onlinerevealed that Jessop’s pattern of abuse continued long after the divorce.
He was arrested in January 2018 for allegedly assaulting a family member and causing bodily injury.
Jessop was held in custody for four days and pleaded not guilty.
The charge was eventually changed to disorderly conduct, and Jessop was made to pay fines.
However, that wasn’t always the case.
A few years later, Kody divorced Meri so that he could become legally wed to Robyn.
“We made this decision together as a family.
We are grateful to our family, friends and fans for all their love and support.”
Robyn’s introduction into the Brown household caused some tension and left Robyn feeling a little guilty.
While Kody’s other wives welcomed Robyn, they struggled with the new addition to their family.
“Those are natural.
Hopefully that’s something that I can overcome.”
“They had a really wonderful thing, and I’ve stirred it up,” Robyn said.
She added that she considered not joining the family and that she felt like an interloper.
“I’m so sorry,” she said to her sister wives.
“I know I’m making you struggle.
I’m so sorry.
I hate this.”
It was also tricky for the 13 kids who werepart of the familybefore she came along.
“Then Robyn comes in, and it messed up things a little bit.”
Madison and the other kids grew to love their new parent, though.
Christine said that Robyn also bonded quickly with her teenage daughters.
I really thought it would make the brand richer.
I loved the idea of reaching so many women with our different perspectives."
“I absolutely love it.
I have never loved another person more than I love my children.”
Robyn said that being a parent is “one of the hardest things” she does.
Fortunately, she had a great example in her own mom who gave her some great advice.
Her son Dayton is on the autism spectrum and wasn’t diagnosed until he was in second grade.
“When he was excited he would flap his arms and jump around the room.”
The diagnosis helped Robyn learn how to help and nurture her son.
“I remember my mom would say mysister-you-know-whatwhen she was in public just to be careful.
The word was so sacred to me, but so negative to the rest of the world.”
Today, Robyn has her own sister wives and appreciates them.
“I love my sisterwives and our relationship is unique and irreplaceable,” she said.
“Choose to Keep Going, " one of her bracelets featuring a semi-colon reads.
“That’s what the semi-colon is all about.
It’s not over.”
Robyn added that she hopes raising more awareness will encourage people struggling with suicidal thoughts to talk about it.
It needs to be talked about.”
“Utah is hostile toward polygamists,” Kody told theAssociated Press.
“There is a very natural and subtle discrimination from the public because of those anti-polygamy laws.”
The family rented out homes after relocating to Arizona.
Not all of the Brown wive’s homes are created equal, however.
The plot was purchased for $820,000 and split into four lots, according toRadar Online.
Janelle’s parcel is 2.42 acres, as is Robyn’s.
Meri and Christine, however, have much larger plots of land.
Even though Janelle and Robyn have smaller plots, they’re also named on their sister wives' deeds.
Her sweet Christmas tradition
Every family has their holiday traditions, and the Browns are no different.
“It is a tradition we all look forward to.”
“My favorites are the ones I have handmade myself,” she wrote.
Christine toldOprahthat she was jealous of Kody’s courtship with Robyn because it took time away from their family.
She was also upset about the way Kody and Robyn got engaged, as it went against their faith.
“We didn’t kiss until over the altar.
So, to me, the fact that he had kissed Robyn was devastating.”
Long after the engagement, rumors continued to swirl about the relationship between the two women.
How much of their marriage is just for show, and how much of it is genuine?
According to some rumors, Robyn has considered leaving husband Kody in the past.
In 2016,Radar Onlinereported that Robyn was planning on moving away from Kody.
He couldn’t handle it."
Being a sister wife isn’t always easy, but Robyn has a secret weapon: her faith.
She believes it’s what keeps their home life happy.
“It absolutely guides us in everything that we do,” she toldFox News.
