We by no means thought we’d see the day, readers.

Kody Brown being a comparatively deadbeat dad isn’t main information to anybody who has been paying consideration.
He solely speaks to a handful of his kids and, at different instances, has seemingly blamed these children for his or her lack of a relationship.
Maybe Kody has now seen the sunshine? Taken a protracted, shut look within the mirror?
The TLC persona shares Leon with Meri; Logan, Madison, Hunter, Gabriel and Savanah, together with Garrison, who died by suicide in 2024, with Janelle; Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Truely with Christine; and Solomon and Ariella with Robyn, in addition to David, Aurora, Breanna, whom she had throughout a earlier marriage and Kody later adopted.

Effectively, sure, you moron. You’re their father. Begin performing prefer it.
