Will there ever be a time when Kody Brown will fully move on and let bygones be? Maybe, or maybe not but one thing is certain, he’s already on his road to recovery. From his recent interview with PEOPLE, you can easily tell that he’s almost there.
The Brown patriarch told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview published on January 20, “Really I just look forward to a future of a lot of forgiving and a lot of more understanding.” His statement comes after he has come to terms with the fact that he’s no longer a husband to four wives but one.
For clarity purposes, the once-upon-a-time polygamous marriage of Kody crumbled before his eyes in November 2021 when his third wife Christine Brown divorced him.
The following year, in December 2023 his second wife Janelle Brown ditched the marriage too. Just when it seemed like the dust had settled, his first wife Meri Brown followed suit in January 2023. He is currently left with his last and only legal wife, Robyn Brown.
Speaking with the outlet, Kody, 55, said, “I feel like my confidence is coming back. I got to find that space of grace and love for myself as well. Be it really forgiving of simple things, like just being angry about what has happened. I want to forgive myself for that and move on.”
Continuing, he said, “You have to express forgiveness to the people you’ve been involved with,” before adding, “You have to express understanding and hope that at the end of an era for us as a family, we still have hope of a friendship and a loving or kind relationship with each other in the future because we’re bound forever through our kids.”
Sister Wives Spoilers — Kody Brown’s Failed Marriage Made Him ‘Feel Like God Doesn’t Exist’
In a different interview conducted by People early last month, Kody told the outlet how he has been transitioning into monogamy since his wives dumped him.
Speaking with the outlet Kody said, “Moving forward is still one of those things where you go through a divorce, you almost feel like God doesn’t exist, and you’re so angry, so bitter, and … you need to let some sunshine back in. That’s the thing. I think we’re just in a transitionary point where I am letting sunshine back in.”
The reality TV star said that while he and his ex-wives are not in the same place mentally, they all should seek happiness. His reason is that it’ll be unrealistic to break up because you’re unhappy, just to remain unhappy afterward. It’ll only bring regret. “If we are breaking up and we don’t continue seeking happiness and go out and find that happiness, then the breakup was never a benefit, then you’re living with regret.”
Looking back at how his first divorce left him full of anger, he told the outlet, “As time progresses and I move out of the anger phase of that experience, I find myself going, ‘Yes, you need your happiness and you weren’t happy,’ It was making me unhappy. We go through this terribly unhappy part, and then we move to happiness. If she’s happy, then I’ll be happy. That’s just it.”
He went on to add, “It’s like there’s doubt and you wonder and you think, ‘Is this right to break up?’ If everybody finds happiness afterwards, then we’ll know that it was just a part of life, just transitioning to a new space.”
