Sister Wives fans ‘disturbed’ by how Kody Brown’s mom ‘looks exactly like’ Robyn – Photo Mon 11 December 2023 13:53 Yasmine Leung
Mia Morrison Sister Wives is wrapping up season 18 but some fans are only just realizing that Kody Brown’s mom looks like his wife Robyn.
Sister Wives is still going strong after 18 seasons despite three of Kody Brown‘s marriages breaking down. The polygamist family became TLC stars back in 2010 but fans are still digging up new details about them every day, including the uncanny resemblance between Kody’s mom and fourth wife Robyn Brown.

Kody’s mom Genielle rarely appears on Sister Wives but they have shared childhood photos featuring her.
Reddit fans are going crazy once again over Robyn being a spitting image of her mother-in-law. The observation has circulated on the internet since 2022 and last resurfaced in September 2023.
The first Reddit post was captioned: “Kody married his mom, that’s all,” while the second reads: “Robyn looks exactly like Kody’s mom.”
Take a look for yourself:
This is beyond creepy – why do Kody's mother and Robyn look like the same genetic stock? This is his mom – yikes!

Fans are ‘unsurprised’ Kody Brown’s mom looks like Robyn
According to viewers, Genielle and Robyn have similar jaw shapes and the brunette hair color definitely helps the resemblance.
“Finally someone said it. I’ve been thinking about this for forever. It’s that square jaw,” one commented.
A second person agreed: “Wow she is the spitting image.”
“This is extremely disturbing but not all that shocking… They do say men marry their mothers,” another added. A 2002 study concluded that the best predictor of a man’s partner choice was if she had the same hair and eye color as his mom. The research also applies to females.
That being said, Kody’s first three wives – Christine Brown, Meri, and Janelle – all have blonde hair, so it doesn’t look like he has a preference for dark hair.
“That looks like Robyn’s true birth mother,” a fourth TLC fan said. Robyn’s mom is Alice Sullivan.
Genielle Brown shared her words of wisdom in season 6
Genielle made a brief appearance in Sister Wives season 6, giving her son advice on how to juggle his polygamous marriages. She told Kody to treat his wives equally to keep the peace as she had an inkling that wasn’t going to be the case.
It seems that Genielle was correct as Kody’s first three wives have consistently maintained that Robyn is his favorite partner.
Cut to the season 18 tell-all, Meri reveals that she realized Kody valued his relationship with Robyn more as they made a pact to “free each other” if they fell out of love – an agreement that wasn’t initially formed with his previous wives.
