Sister Wives: I’m Certain Leon Brown Rarely Speaks To Their Family (Even Their Mother Meri Brown?)

Sister Wives has shown off some relationships in the Brown family through the seasons, but after watching for years, I’m certain Leon Brown, Meri Brown’s child with Kody Brown, rarely speaks to their family. Meri, Kody’s first wife, struggled through the years of her marriage to the patriarch of the Brown family. While Meri and Kody were both each other’s first marriage, they were both interested in expanding the family through plural marriage as they grew older. As Kody married Janelle Brown and then Christine Brown in the years after his wedding to Meri, their dream began to take form.

Kody’s marriages with Janelle and Christine brought children into the mix, but Meri’s fertility was different than Kody’s other wives. While her struggles were documented on Sister Wives, the couple were able to have one child, Leon. Though things have changed in Leon’s life since their birth, Kody and Meri were happy to have had a child together, even if it wasn’t always easy. After years of struggling with their identity, Leon was able to be open about who they are to their family, and while some were accepting, others weren’t. Through struggle, Leon’s relationship with their family remains complicated.

Leon Still Follows Meri On Instagram

Although Leon has distanced themselves from their family over the years, they’re still active on Instagram, which they keep public. Leon’s time on Sister Wives ended years ago, when they left the family home and ventured out on their own. Though Leon wasn’t typically featured on the show, the Brown family’s kids were often in the episodes and shared their feelings on various topics over the years. Whether it was something silly or something serious, though it was often the former, the Brown kids were asked for their take on family matters over the years, more as they grew up.

While Leon hasn’t participated in Sister Wives in a number of years, their social media presence gives an idea of their current relationship with their family members. In recent posts, Leon has shared more about their spouse Audrey Kriss and showed off time they’ve spent with some of their siblings, like Gwendlyn Brown and her wife, Beatriz Queiroz. The more surprising news from Leon’s Instagram comes from the fact that Leon still follows and interacts with their mother, Meri, on the social media platform. While the nature of their relationship isn’t entirely clear, Meri comments on Leon’s Instagram posts frequently.

Leon Never Mentions Sister Wives Or Their Family Online

While Leon is active on social media, the former Sister Wives star doesn’t mention their time on the series or their family online. Though parts of the Brown family have been supportive of Leon in the past, it’s clear that the issues they’ve faced in their life make it easier for them to keep the family private. Leon’s dealt with a lot of adversity, especially in recent years after they’ve separated from the Brown family, so respecting their privacy can be difficult for those who watch Sister Wives, even if it’s what’s best for Leon, who’s made clear boundaries.

Though Leon does discuss their life online, their family of origin is rarely mentioned in their posts. Leon has chosen to live a life separately from many of their family members, especially Kody and Robyn Brown, who have been difficult to understand their life in the past. Leon’s relationships with their family members are private, but it’s been obvious that they’ve spent time with Christine and Janelle in recent months, as well as Gwendlyn and some of the other Brown kids during a trip to Wyoming. Leon, Audrey, and the rest of the family seemed to have a great time.

Leon Likely Wants To Stay Out Of The Spotlight

While Leon wasn’t given much of an option in their younger years about being in the spotlight, their choices in their adult life are their own. Leon’s been keeping their social media up to date with updates about their life, relationships, and the social activism they take part in, but they don’t seem to enjoy the spotlight much when it comes to the viewers of Sister Wives. After growing up in such a specific religious environment and having their family air dirty laundry on reality TV, Leon appears to be taking care of themselves the best way they know how.

By keeping their life as private as possible, Leon has been able to create a sense of security for themselves that makes them feel more at peace. Growing up in a chaotic family with a huge number of siblings would’ve been difficult enough, but Leon was dealing with other struggles as they realized their own identity and moved through revealing that to their family. Leon’s life outside of Sister Wives has been so full, which is wonderful to see. Still, their relationship with their family is likely something Leon will struggle with on and off throughout their life.
