er his arrival. They faced various challenges and obstacles when trying to conceive, which led to a sense of frustration and disappointment. These difficulties continued even after their son was born, as the couple experienced ongoing struggles with fertility.

Kody Brown has a belief that everything happens for a specific purpose. During the recent “Sister Wives: Look Back” special, the patriarch of the plural family took some time to reflect on his relationship with Meri Brown. Unlike his relationships with Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, and Robyn Brown, Kody and Meri only have one child together, their 25-year-old son, Leon Brown.

The special highlighted Meri’s struggles with fertility, as she and Kody attempted to have more children throughout the years. One particular clip from a 2012 episode showed Meri expressing her hesitation towards the idea of undergoing another round of IVF (in vitro fertilization).

Meri stated, “It just scares me to go through that again. I really want to have another baby. I would love that.” Kody shared the same sentiment, adding, “When we’re old and looking back at our lives, we’ll be grateful that we went through with the IVF.”

Looking back on that period, Kody expressed his relief that they did not have another child. He explained, “During that time, it made us realize that our marriage was not in a healthy state.”
