Kody Brown no longer has a spiritual union with Meri, Christine or Janelle Brown.
He is legally married to only one woman at this point, Robyn Brown.
In other words: Kody no longer has any sister wives in his life.
And yet… we now have it on a very reliable authority that the TLC reality show Sister Wives will continue to air new episodes!
In a recent interview with Growing Up in Polygamy YouTube channel, Mykelti Brown Padron — the daughter of Christine and Kody — told the hosts that executives appear to have picked up the series for a 21st season.
“I will say that none of the parents have the same filming schedule that they used to have,” Mykelti explained, confirming that shooting has gotten underway, even if it looks different from the past.
“It’s been two weeks of filming, two weeks off,” she added. “But this last six months or so, the filming has been very, very minuscule. It’s sporadic. So, filming has been less.”
TLC has not yet made any announcements about the future of Sister Wives.
The network has continued to support the show despite the many changes that have taken place of late within the Brown household.
As Mykelti herself admits, there really can’t be that many seasons remaining of Sister Wives.
“I think [the show] is fizzling. Because it’s not Sister Wives anymore. You know, they’re all ex-wives now,” she told the aforementioned outlet.
Indeed, Christine left Kody in late 2021; Janelle did the same a few months later; and then Meri and Kody confirmed their divorce in early 2023.
On the latest run of the program, Kody went around to his former spouses and tries to issue an apology for all the terrible ways he treated them.
For her part, though, Mykelti would sort of prefer it if Kody worked on his relationships with his children.
“Several of my siblings have blocked him,” Mykelti said during this new interview. “I know which ones have, but I’m not going to say it, but I do know that there are several of my siblings who have told him point-blank, ‘Do not ever contact me again.’”
She continued, clearly critical of her father:
“So obviously with those, he’s still going to generalize us, and he’s not going to name us by name. But he isn’t actively reaching out [to them] and seeking that relationship.”
On the November 6 episode of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, Brown actually broke down while admitting to his own shortcomings as a father to his sons and daughters.
“I should have had a stronger relationship with my children,” Brown told a couple fellow contestants on this reality program.
“I’m at a place in my life now where I’m very willing to say that I’ve been wrong,” he added, actually starting to cry on air.
“My failures were because I didn’t know about being a good dad and husband, and I thought I did. I really thought I did, and I misunderstood that. I did it wrong in so many ways, and I hated being blamed for it, and so it made me resistant to ownership.”
Sounds like a fresh perspective.
However, Mykelti added of her father’s attempts to reconcile when speaking to the aforementioned channel:
“I think he could try harder. He’s not trying as hard as he could, and there’s room for improvement.”

Bad Bunny may have won Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
But Erika Kirk says he still can’t hold a candle to Kid Rock.
As we previously reported, Erika and Turning Point USA will be hosting their own halftime show on Super Bowl Sunday — an alternative for viewers who are inexplicably offended by the fact that Bad Bunny is headlining the actual halftime show.
No one has ever attempted to upstage the biggest broadcast of the year before.
But Erika is confident that her All-American Halftime Show will draw a massive crowd.
In fact, she believes that the concert — featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett — will be watched by a “larger audience” than Bad Bunny’s performance with special guests Green Day.
“For us to be able to provide an alternative that’s pro-America, that’s just pro everything, that that’s not the opposite of what they’re putting out there, I don’t want to go into details and bash that, because there’s apparently an audience that wants that,” Kirk said during a recent appearance on Fox News’ The Story with Martha MacCallum (via Newsweek), adding:
“But there’s a larger audience that wants ours. And so we are going to make it very amazing. I’m so excited.”
Erika, of course, is the widow of Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed during a speaking engagement in September.
Asked how her late husband would feel about the All-American Halftime Show, Erika enthusiastically replied that he would be thrilled.
“He [Charlie Kirk] would be fist-pumping with this. He’d be so stoked,” she said.
“The artists that have teamed up with us, I just want to say thank you to them… It’s very brave of them to do this.
“And they have partnered with us without hesitation. And it’s actually been a huge blessing. And it’s going to be an unbelievable halftime show.”
Erika went on to say that she considers the alternative halftime show to be the ultimate tribute to Charlie.
“What better way to honor him than just to get in the middle of this and be able to offer an alternative to families?” she asked.
Several conservative influencers have already vowed to turn off Bad Bunny and tune into Erika’s broadcast.
“I’ll take this over Woke Bunny any day of the week,” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted after the lineup was announced.
But will it really draw a “larger audience” than the actual Super Bowl halftime show? Seems unlikely, but only time will tell!

She can forgive, but will never forget.
Britney Spears is opening up about her feelings amidst what looks like repeated pushes to give her family financial control over her again.
After so many years in that dreadful conservatorship, she feels “lucky to even be alive.”
Now, she feels “scared” of her family. And can you blame her?
‘We can forgive as people, but u don’t ever forget’
On Wednesday, February 4, Britney took to her Instagram page to share a very personal post.
“As people, all we really want is to feel connected to each other and never feel alone,” her caption began.
“For those of you in your family that have said to help you is to isolate you,” Britney wrote, “and make you feel unbelievably left out … they were wrong.”
It is clear that she is talking about her own harrowing years under a conservatorship. It is also clear that she knows that she is not the only person to have suffered under a family’s control.
“We can forgive as people,” Britney expressed, “but u don’t ever forget.”
“Yearning and longing for contact is always crucial !!!” Britney then affirmed.
“I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive,” she acknowledged.
Britney continued: “With how my family treated me once in my life.”
She then revealed: “And now I’m scared of them.”
Considering the extent to which many believe that at least some of her relatives want to get her back under their financial control, that sounds very sensible.
‘I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive’
“It’s weird how God works in mysterious ways,” Britney commented.
“My friends, what do you think he is saying today ???” she asked, presumably probing her Christian fans for input.
“Because to be totally honest with you,” Britney confessed, “no matter what he says, they will never take responsibility for what they did.”
On a brighter note, she continued: “So I’ve made cheesecake today and I must say it’s pretty damn good.”
Britney added: “My neighbor joined me with milk !!!”
At the end of her caption, Britney wrote: “PS I haven’t danced in a month because I broke my toe twice!”
We’re so sorry to hear that!
In December, we reported on Britney’s injury.
While there are certainly some very loud people who seem to become enraged when she dances (or try to frame it as something that should see her stripped of her human rights), we hope that she heals up quickly.
And it’s good to hear that she had a neighbor who could bring over some milk. Borrowing baking ingredients is an old-timey trope among neighbors, but it happens less and less as our culture’s toxic individualism leaves us more and more alone.
She’s free — and will, hopefully, remain free
Britney is far from the first adult who had to claw their way out of their toxic family’s control.
It’s just that most people don’t have such a public spectacle surrounding their fight for freedom.
(Also, countless people remain under their family’s thumb — and not ever awful parent needs a conservatorship to do it)
It’s very clear that Britney knows that she’s not alone in still feeling shaken by her years without core human rights.
Right now, it sounds like she’s aware of the push to use her every word and action to turn public consensus away from her rights. Hopefully, no one will fall for it.

Compared to other royals, Camilla Parker Bowles doesn’t receive much attention from the American media.
But a new report about Queen Camilla’s drinking habits could change that.
According to an article published by UK tabloid The Globe, Camilla is having a hard time coping with the stresses of the throne and King Charles’ ongoing cancer treatments.
And she’s reportedly developed some unhealthy coping mechanisms.
“Her drinking has always been an issue, but lately she’s been taking it up a level. Camilla is hitting the bottle hard and is usually three sheets to the wind by evening,” one source tells the outlet.
“Often, she’ll be knocking it back during the daytime as well. That’s when she tends to be at her most aggressive — overexerting herself and acting like a power-crazed tyrant.”
Yes, apparently, it’s not only Camilla’s booze consumption that’s a problem. It’s also the fact that she’s drunk on the power of her position.
“She charges around barking orders, tearing into anyone who doesn’t fall into line and generally causing chaos throughout the palace,” says the insider.
Obviously, Camilla has tremendous power over those who are beneath her in rank (and since she’s the queen, that’s pretty much everyone).
But the source says she also holds all the cards in her relationship with Charles.
“Camilla is horrendously controlling of Charles. She often insists he stay in his room and raises merry hell if he tries to get up and assert his independence,” the insider claims.
“Of course, her official excuse for this is that he needs rest and she’s doing it for his own good. But everyone knows it’s her way to control him and give herself a platform to assert herself when he’s not there.”
And the source claims that Camilla is just as controlling when it comes to Kate Middleton.
“Camilla isn’t afraid to put Kate in her place any chance she gets,” the insider notes.
“The way she talks to her can be pretty brutal — looking down her nose and effectively treating her like a second-class commoner or menial servant.”
As for Charles’ efforts to reunite with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? As you may have guessed, Camilla (allegedly) is not a fan!
“She’s told Charles it’s a terrible idea and is chipping away to get him to rescind the invite,” the insider says.
“If they do turn up, she’s vowing to make life as difficult and uncomfortable as possible while they’re in England. But in an ideal world she’ll just put a stop to it altogether. She emphatically believes Meghan and Harry are treacherous, twisted rats who have no place in the royal household.”
It must be exhausting to be constantly clashing with everyone around you. No wonder she needs a drink!

Even her own fans love to give Joy-Anna Duggar a hard time.
Sometimes it’s valid backlash. Other times, she’s done nothing wrong.
Her latest video is also getting another reaction from followers.
Is Joy pregnant again?
This isn’t your normal GRWM, but it’s normal for her
At the start of this week (and month), Joy-Anna Duggar took to Instagram to share a “get ready with me” video.
“Sunday Morning GRWM,” her caption began.
“New week,” Joy penned on Sunday, February 1. “New month.”
She then quipped: “Same need for coffee.”
Though Joy offered to get coffee for followers who commented while tagging two friends in an apparent raffle, most eyes were on the video.
Most GRWM videos focus upon the person’s face while they do their makeup.
But then, most women Joy’s age (she was born in 1997) who are doing these videos aren’t mothers of three.
This video has an (unsurprising) focus upon what it’s like to get ready when you are a family of five.
Joy is getting ready in this footage. So is Austin. And so are their three children: Gideon, Evelyn, and Gunner.
By the time that Joy is applying makeup, the family is already in the car and driving to church.
Is she getting ready wrong? Is she PREGNANT?
Commenters were quick to poke at Joy for … almost every aspect of the video.
“You’re too young and pretty to wear ugly dresses like that. I get that you’re going for modest fashion but I feel like there are way better options,” one commenter opined.
Another simply wrote: “You’re too young to be wearing old lady dresses.”
(Joy wore a lengthy blue dress featuring a beige floral pattern. The internet tells us that this is normal to wear at some church gatherings, particularly in more conservative communities)
One commenter scolded Joy for featuring Gunner’s diaper change in the video. Another gave her at talking-to for drinking coffee. (The first one, we can understand, but not the second)
Some in Joy’s comments suggested that perhaps she has a special reason for wearing the allegedly “frumpy” dress.
Is she hiding a baby bump?
“Are you expecting? You’re always hidden behind things and in baggier clothes,” penned one suspicious commenter.
It is always possible that Joy and Austin, fundamentalist cultists who see procreation as virtuous and as a divine mandate, are expecting Baby #4.
But … by that same token, they’re cultists in a cult that believes that women and their bodies are inherently shameful and dangerous. Hiding their bodies behind unflattering clothing goes with the territory.
To be honest, it’s always possible that Joy is pregnant.
But, if so, she’d either tell fans pretty early on or wait until childbirth.
(Because of how the Duggars view miscarriage, they seldom fit the “standard” timeline of when to make an announcement)
At the moment, the only thing that we know with any certainty is that a lot of people are unhappy with their lives and are spewing unfiltered criticisms at Joy over a GRWM video because that’s their only outlet.
A lot of the feral online behavior in recent decades is just a manifestation of the person’s own misery. This is not a healthy way to express that.
