Paedon Brown Doesn't Want to Be Polygamous Like His Father – Meet Kody Brown's Son
After growing up watching his father with four wives and 18 children, Paedon Brown decided that he did not want to have the same married life. Despite his decision, Paedon is grateful for the big family he has.
Paedon Brown grew up in an unorthodox family setting, having been born to a polygamous father, Kody Brown. Since childhood, cameras surrounded Paedon, who starred in "Sister Wives" alongside his other family members.
Given his family set-up and public personality, hearing unsolicited opinions from strangers came naturally. Nevertheless, Paedon focused on becoming his best self and living his best life.
Even on his Instagram page, Paedon made it known that he was living according to his wants and "to the fullest of [his] abilities." That included his decision not to follow in his father's footsteps as a polygamous man.
According to Paedon, his decision to live against polygamy came after experiencing "a bunch of little things." Nevertheless, he is grateful for the family it brought him, including the six brothers he considers best friends.
Paedon Is Pretty Active on Social Media
Paedon has a broad reach on social media and maintains his fans' interest by staying active on different channels. He has over 85,000 Instagram followers and 453,000 TikTok followers as of writing. He also has a Cameo account where fans can pay to have him personalize a video message for them.
Following their split, Paedon slammed his father in a TikTok video, praising his mom and throwing shade at Kody. His social media post came after his other siblings cut ties with their father.
In one of his TikTok videos, Paedon narrated when a fan recognized him while shopping. It just so happened that his cart was filled with intimate items. He said:
"Do you know how embarrassing it is to be in a store buying a lubricant and condoms, and the cashier says, 'Hey, are you Paedon Brown from 'Sister Wives?' [...] She looks down and sees what I'm buying."
Besides his social media presence, Paedon is active in the US Army and serves in the National Guard. He completed the boot camp after high school and graduated in 2019. Snippets of his journey can be seen on social media, where he claimed to have had great experiences.
However, Paedon aspires to have a career as a firefighter in Utah. To achieve his dream, the reality star will have to undergo training for several months, and it seems he has his mother's support.
Paedon Has Had His Highs and Lows with His Father
Paedon has maintained a close relationship with his mother and tries to visit her once a month. He also shares photos with his mom on Instagram and helped Christine get started on the TikTok platform.
According to Paedon, he already has more than enough siblings and does not want his father to have more children. However, he is fine with the infinite nieces and nephews he will be having.
While Paedon may have a great relationship with his mom, Christine Brown, the same cannot be said for his father. Kody and Christine welcomed Paedon during their relationship and raised him while the family patriarch tended to his other wives and kids.
However, things started to change in 2010 when Christine began to feel overwhelmed running the household alone. When she talked to her husband and asked for help, Kody declined because he was busy with his other wives and kids.
"I'm like, we live in one house!" Christine recalled. "You just can't come over and tuck my kids in bed and talk to them and put them in bed?" Sadly, Kody still said no.
Christine and Kody eventually called it quits in 2021. At that time, the reality star claimed that her life had become much simpler and better. Nevertheless, Christine Brown hoped Kody could remain a friend.
Following their split, Paedon slammed his father in a TikTok video, praising his mom and throwing shade at Kody. His social media post came after his other siblings cut ties with their father, who showed favoritism in their family.
Paedon also previously stated that his relationship with Kody has its ups and downs, as the reality star can be the "absolute best" and the "absolute worst." As a parent, Kody focused on the younger kids and always favored the newest child.
Paedon Is against Having More Siblings after Being One of 18 Children
Paedon is one of Kody Brown's 18 children from his wives. In 1994, the "Sister Wives" star welcomed his firstborn, Logan Taylor, with Janelle Brown. The couple went on to have several more children, including Madison Rose, Hunter Elias, Gabriel, Robert Garrison, and Savanah.
Meanwhile, Paedon's half-siblings are Leon, whose mom is Meri Brown, and Solomon Kody and Ariella Mae, whose mom is Robyn Brown. Paedon has full siblings, including Aspyn Kristine, Mykelti Ann, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely Grace.
When Paedon's father began his relationship with Robyn, he adopted her children from previous relationships, Dayton, Aurora Alice, and Breanna.
According to Paedon, he already has more than enough siblings and does not want his father to have more children. However, he is fine with the infinite nieces and nephews he will be having. "No more kids with any wives, please!" he said.
Following Christine Brown's divorce, she became a grandmother to twins, while Paedon became an uncle. Her daughter, Mykelti, gave birth to healthy boys, Archer and Ace, her second and third kids. Mykelti shares her children with her husband, Tony.
