‘Sister Wives’ Star Reveals She Considered Polygamy After Marrying Husband, Picked Out Women – InTouch Weekly | In Touch Weekly

Life almost looked very different for Sister Wives star Mykelti Brown and her husband Tony Padron.

During the pair’s recent appearance on the Growing Up in Polygamy podcast, the 29-year-old daughter of exes Kody Brown and Christine Brown Woolley opened up about her past desire to live polygamy like her parents once did.

First, Mykelti said that before meeting Padron, she had her eye on a family she wanted to join as a plural wife. “I had my polygamist family picked out,” she said.

Ultimately, she “never actually approached them,” and went on to marry Padron, 31, in 2016, but she didn’t let go of her dream of a plural marriage just yet.

“The first couple of years of our marriage, I wasn’t strictly opposed to polygamy,” she said. “I was like, ‘We could join. We could do polygamy.’”

When Mykelti presented the idea to Padron, she had women in mind as candidates for his second wife. “She was like, ‘Do you want Girl A or B? These are the only [choices] you get though. These are the ones I like,’” he said.

“I didn’t want the religion of it. I wanted the bond of the sister wife,” explained Mykelti. “…I saw a lot of the downsides, too, so that’s why we chose not to do polygamy.”

Padron then clarified that he was the one who put a stop to the polygamy conversation. “By the way, I said no,” he said. “I just thought it was wild. Back then, she was a lot more hopeful and rosy about [it]. She did try to paint it like, ‘Oh it’s so cool.’”

Reflecting on their decision to remain monogamous, the mother of three has no regrets. “We would not have been a successful polygamous family,” she said. “We would have been divorced already.”
