Sister Wives' star Mykelti Brown Padron shared some intriguing insights about her father, Kody Brown's journey from scarcity to affluence. As the wait for the second half of Sister Wives season 19 continues, fans have been pulling back the layers of the Brown family's past. Mykelti's revelations draw a picture of a family that, before the reality show, struggled financially. Holidays were marked with modest celebrations, such as homemade Valentine's Day pancakes by her mother, Christine Brown. 

Kody Brown's daughter, Mykelti Brown, spoke fondly about their former home in Lehigh, Utah, where she lived with her siblings and Kody's wives - Meri, Christine, and Janelle Brown. However, she also hinted at some negative memories associated with the house. Mykelti highlighted the stark contrast between the family's previous financial struggles and their current lifestyle, showcased in the 19 seasons of Sister Wives. 

This topic surfaced when Mykelti and her husband, Tony Padron, revisited an old episode from season 4 of Sister Wives. The episode featured Kody gifting flowers to his wives on Valentine's Day, marking the first time he could afford such a gesture. Mykelti also mentioned a mix-up with the flowers, as Robyn Brown received the wrong color arrangement. 

Sister Wives fans have noticed that Meri, Janelle, and Christine experienced Kody Brown's financial hardship, while Robyn joined the family around the time the reality show brought in significant income. The family's trajectory changed dramatically from season 4 onwards, with a noticeable increase in their lifestyle and spending, as confirmed by Mykelti Brown Padron. The question remains if this change in wealth has affected the relationships within the family, particularly between Kody and his wives.
