Kody Brown Reveals If ‘Sister Wives’ Will Move Back To Utah

Their reasons for fleeing the state so many years ago are officially no longer valid since Utah has officially decriminalized polygamy. However, fans of “Sister Wives” shouldn’t expect to see another whole season of moving woes for the Brown family, as they intend to stay put in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Following news that the Utah Governor signed Senate Bill 102 into law, which reduced bigamy between consenting adults to an infraction with the same kind of penalties as a traffic ticket, famous polygamous families sounded off on the decision, including the “Sister Wives’ stars friends, The Darger Family, praising the news on social media. However, while Brown family patriarch Kody also seemed excited by the prospect that the bill had been passed, he admitted his family wasn’t going to head back to Utah, the state they left years ago under fears of persecution.

“Too late. Utah lost us...Now we have a new home in the free state of Arizona,” he wrote on Twitter.

Second wife Janelle also expressed joy over the news that the bill had passed, letting the Dargers know that she couldn’t wait to celebrate with them.

Fans previously wondered if the bill being passed would bring the family back to their home state, after Koy had previously admitted on the show that he wanted to go back there eventually, and had even wanted to go there after leaving Las Vegas, but that the laws prevented them from doing so. However, the issues the family has encountered since going to Flagstaff have seemingly made them weary when it comes to the idea of another move.

So far during the current season of their TLC reality show, fans have watched as the family not only struggled to sell off their homes in Las Vegas but several moves within Flagstaff itself. Meri was forced out of her first rental by neighbors who didn’t want her living near them and was sent back to Nevada for a short period as a result. She was then forced to leave her second rental when the owners opted to sell the property, and most recently, fans saw her contend with the fact that she could be forced from her third home due to a wildfire that had her on pre-evacuation notice.

In addition, Janelle also had to move to a new rental, while Robyn also had to leave her home when the owners wound up selling it. To date, the family has not begun to build homes on their Coyote Pass land.

“Sister Wives” airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EDT on TLC.
