The downsides to plural marriage took center stage on Sister Wives‘ latest episode.
Valentine’s Day was in full swing on Sunday, April 27 episode of the hit TLC series. And naturally, Brown family members Kody Brown, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown and Robyn Brown were in reflection mode.
Kody, for one, had an interesting outlook on marriage after enduring three divorces in a 14-month period. “My church isn’t a cult. It’s hard to get into an easy to get out of, but marriage is its own cult. I don’t want to disparage marriage, but it is easy to get into and it is hard to get out of,” the 56-year-old told the cameras.
Later, Kody was shown taking Robyn, 46, to a Valentine’s Day dinner, where she asked him how he felt about no longer being a polygamist. Kody told Robyn he felt as if he’d been “slapped by polygamy.”
“It’s hard not to be bitter about the fact that I bought off on it and did it because in the end, in the last moments of it, it felt terrible,” he said. “I’m like, literally bitter sometimes.”

After Robyn asked if he was “missing what it was before” the demise occurred, Kody said that it was a “loaded” question.

“I don’t want to be flippant with my answer because we were devoted to this, but I’m not interested in plural marriage anymore,” he then explained to the cameras. “I don’t want to pursue another woman because I don’t want that headache, the questions, the struggles, the wonder about trust. I’m not in that space.”
Kody then told Robyn that he “can’t deny” that his children are a “blessing” that’s come out of plural marriage, but he’s “completely discouraged by the idea that people feel obligated to do what we did.” Meanwhile, Robyn said she’s been “heartbroken by all of this and trying to make sense of it.”
However, she later told the cameras separately that she’s now “very scared of plural marriage” because of “what has happened” to her family, adding that “there’s a lot of like trauma there.”

Despite Kody’s initial challenges navigating life as a monogamous man after living as a polygamist for decades, he confidently told Robyn he feels “at peace” with where they now are as a couple. Yet, that wasn’t always the case for him.
“Because I’ve been in plural marriage for so long and it was a sole focus of marriage for me, when we failed at it, I was sabotaging myself,” he explained. “There were days unfair to Robyn that I thought about just walking away from our relationship, too. And that was just because I was so broken, I became self-destructive.”
Looking back on the ways he attempted to sabotage his relationship with Robyn, Kody actually apologized to her “for the dark space I went through and how it harmed you because it wasn’t fair to you.”
“Because I was angry, you’re withdrawing from me. And because you were withdrawing from me, I was experiencing not just the anger from the rejection and the anger from the failure of our failures in plural marriage and everything that I was experiencing there, it was causing me to literally have bad thoughts about us.”

At a different point in the episode, Robyn shared what she felt was something that wasn’t beneficial to her marriage.
“This was something that [Kody, Meri, Janelle and Christine] decided before I even came in the family to not show affection in front of each other. I always saw it as a mistake,” she recalled. “I think it made Kody feel alone, and I think it made each of us wives feel kind of alone.”
Robyn noted that affection “brings comfort to the couple,” adding, “It makes the couple feel kind of safe and secure. And in plural marriage, there’s a lot of insecurity just because there’s so much sharing.”
“It would have made each wife feel more secure and more comfortable if Kody would have been able to show affection or we would have been able to show affection to him,” she concluded.

‘Summer House’ star Ciara Miller accuses West Wilson of sleeping with ‘RHONJ’ alum Jennifer Fessler

Ciara Miller accused her ex West Wilson of sleeping with “Real Housewives of New Jersey” alum Jennifer Fessler after the latter defended Wilson in an interview with Page Six.
The drama recently played out on threads, where a social media user recapped what Fessler said at Vulture’s The Masterminds of Reality TV event on Thursday.
“Former RHONJ ‘friend of’ Jenn Fessler was asked by Page Six about the Summer House scandal tonight and said this about West: ‘[West] is the cutest, sweetest golden retriever puppy dog. He does not mean any harm. He didn’t mean it. He’s just trying to have a good time. He doesn’t wanna hurt anyone. Give him a break.’ Girl…”
Miller replied on the platform, “lol, because they slept together too.”
One person wrote, “Ma’am! I beg your pardon?!?! Ain’t that old lady married? Oh he got a type,” to which Miller replied, “That’s what I thought….” alongside a cartwheel emoji.
Screenshots on Instagram and X have since gone viral, and fans were stunned to see Miller’s comments.
“Ciara has entered her IDGAF stage and is about to burn this s–t to the ground!” one person remarked on Instagram, while another wrote, “I just laughed the most nervous laugh out loud.”
A third wrote, “Ciara freaking Miller 😮 hahahahahaha SAVAGE.”
Fessler — who has been married to husband Jeff Fessler since 1999 — exclusively told Page Six on Friday, “It’s flattering that anyone would think someone who slept with Ciara Miller would be interested in sleeping with me.”
Reps for Miller and Wilson did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Drama erupted between the “Summer House” co-stars in March, when Wilson, 31, and Amanda Batula, 34, released a bombshell joint social media statement revealing their secret romance — in spite of West’s previous romance with ex Miller, 30, and Batula’s former friendship with her.
“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” they wrote in a joint statement on March 31. “Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
Miller was seen huddled outside an Hermés boutique just minutes after the statement was publicly released.
A source divulged to Page Six in April that Batula and Wilson’s co-stars, including Batula’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke — are “pissed” and “disappointed.”
Meanwhile, Mia Alario questioned the pair’s romance timeline after they claimed they’d become involved in February.
During her appearance on “WWHL” last month, the “Southern Hospitality” star claimed she’d been on a date with Wilson in September, and that he was already spending time with Batula.
“I met Amanda at BravoCon [in November] and she actually told me that they pregamed our date at his apartment,” she told Cohen during the appearance.
“At the time, I was like, ‘Oh, you’re such a good friend. That sounds like such a good time,’” she added.
Alario also alleged that Batula told her she gave Wilson “some advice and some tips” before their date.
“I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what? Damn. I don’t know,” Alario said, calling their relationship “a messy situation” and saying she doesn’t “want any part of that at all.”
At Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea Live event last month, Alario said she wasn’t worried about Miller.
“Ciara, if she was ugly … I’d feel bad for her,” Alario quipped. “But she is one of the baddest bitches on Bravo.”

Heidi Klum worried Anna Wintour wouldn’t approve her Met Gala 2026 prosthetics

Heidi Klum brought the Halloween spirit to her Met Gala look.
Dressing as an actual marble statue — prosthetics and all — the model channeled the “Veiled Vestal,” Raffaelle Monti’s sculpture that’s currently housed in London’s Chiswick House.
Though Klum certainly took her interpretation of the dress code, “Fashion is Art,” to the next level, she revealed to The New York Times that she was concerned Anna Wintour — who has co-chaired the event since 1995 — wouldn’t appreciate her take.
“I was most worried that she won’t like it,” Klum told the publication, but revealed that she asked the Vogue head honcho herself while inside the event.
“She said yes,” the supermodel confirmed.
Much like Klum’s famed Halloween party, which sees the “Germany’s Next Top Model” host undergo a wild transformation into costume every October, “she planned the look for three months,” according to the Times.
Though “it took her five hours to get ready,” Klum admitted “it was the best her body had felt at the Met Gala.”
Confusing as that might sound, a quick glance towards the floor might explain a few things, as Klum stood in flats while much of the rest of the party teetered around in sky-high heels.
“For once, my feet don’t hurt,” she added, “wiggling her marble-like toes in flat sandals.”
Though Klum’s first Met Gala appearance was 23 years ago, this year only marked her sixth appearance at the fashion-centric event.

Jerry Seinfeld claims ‘Friends’ copied his sitcom ‘Seinfeld’

Jerry Seinfeld thew a little shade at “Friends” during at the 2026 Netflix Is a Joke Festival, claiming the show was inspired by his own iconic sitcom, “Seinfeld.”
The comedian made the comment during his set at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles Tuesday during a bit in which he asked the audience to guess what his all-time favorite show was, per the Hollywood Reporter.
When an audience member shouted out “Friends,” Seinfeld said he had a theory about the comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and the late Matthew Perry.
“My show [‘Seinfled’] came on — ’89, ’90. ‘Friends’ came on a few years later,” he noted.
“I think NBC was watching my show and went, ‘Hey, this is working pretty well. Why don’t we try the same thing with good-looking people?’ And that was a pretty good idea,” he continued. “I think that kind of worked.”
“Seinfeld” — which starred the titular comedian as well as Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander — premiered on NBC in 1989 and ran for nine seasons.
“Friends” debuted in 1994 and aired for 10 seasons on NBC.
Both shows revolved around a close group of friends living in New York City, though “Friends” was story and character-centric while “Seinfeld” was famously dubbed a “show about nothing” by Seinfeld himself and co-creator Larry David.
This isn’t the first time Seinfeld has taken credit for the success of “Friends.”
Kudrow told the Daily Beast in 2022 that Seinfeld once walked up to her at a party in the ’90s and told her “you’re welcome,” as “Friends” had been put on NBC’s schedule right after ratings juggernaut “Seinfeld.”
Last month, Kudrow revealed the “Friends” cast still gets a whopping $20 million a year from residuals, more than two decades after the hit sitcom came to an end in 2004.
But she noted in the same interview that their experience filming wasn’t always positive, and that “there was definitely mean stuff going on behind the scenes.”
“Don’t forget we were recording in front of a live audience of 400, and if you messed up one of these writers’ lines or it didn’t get the perfect response, they could be like, ‘Can’t the bitch f–king read? She’s not even trying. She f–ed up my line,’” she recalled to the Times of London.
Kudrow also claimed that the writers’ room, which was composed of mostly men, would “be up late discussing their sexual fantasies” about Aniston and Cox. She recalled the time as “intense.”
