'Sister Wives' Season 16: 5 things you didn't know about the TLC reality show
This November, TLC will bring back 'Sister Wives', a reality show that premiered in 2010. The show documents the everyday life of a polygamist family, including the father Kody Brown and his four wives (Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn) and their 18 children. The family of 23 began the series while living in Utah and then moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2011.
Brown and his wives said that they participated in the show to create public awareness of polygamist families, thereby combating societal differences. He says that he believes that his polygamist arrangement is legal since he is legally married only to one woman (Robyn), while his other 3 marriages (to Meri, Janelle, and Christine) are spiritual unions.
