Sister Wives returned with another episode that sparked major chatter online, and much of the conversation centered on Kody and Robyn’s shifting dynamic. Viewers have been closely watching the couple this season as their relationship plays out under a different household structure. What they saw in the latest episode has led many fans to question whether things are as strong between them as the couple claims.
As clips circulated across social platforms, fans pointed out several moments that seemed to reveal tension beneath the surface. Some felt Robyn appeared distant, while others wondered if Kody’s attempts to be more affectionate were falling flat. Are viewers reading too much into these scenes? Or is something changing between the couple? Keep reading to know more.

In Episode 8 of Sister Wives Season 20, Kody Brown made a dramatic decision to shave off his beard and moustache after Robyn admitted that kissing him with facial hair felt “painful” and “uncomfortable.” Kody, 56, took her comment to heart and headed straight to the bathroom to impress his wife. While standing at the sink with clippers in hand, he tried to lighten the moment. “Promise me we’re going to make out like teenagers,” he joked before trimming the gray from his beard.
Robyn shared in her confessional that she used to hold back public affection when Kody was still married to Christine, Janelle, and Meri. Now that they are the only couple left, she said they flirt much more. Kody then entertained the idea of going completely clean-shaven. He admired his jawline and teased that “more kisses for Kody” might be on the way. Robyn added humor of her own, comparing the beard to “a vegetable scrubber,” while Kody insisted shaving would help him “get kissed more.”
Sister Wives fans flooded Reddit after the episode, and the discussion quickly shifted to whether Robyn is tired of her marriage to Kody. One user posted a viral thread titled, “Ok I was wrong. Robyn really don’t like that man,” and many agreed with the sentiment. The original poster said they hadn’t noticed Robyn’s frustration until the shaving moment.
They wrote that Robyn’s reaction changed everything for them, especially when Kody rushed to shave the moment she joked about kissing him more. Several fans claimed his eagerness showed how desperate he seemed for affection.
One commenter shared their own experience and said they recognized Robyn’s behavior from past relationships where they didn’t feel attracted to their partner. They explained that you “find excuses to avoid affection,” much like Robyn did when she mentioned the moustache hurting her. Another fan suggested Kody might be overcompensating because of Christine’s revelations in her book. They argued that he now pushes public affection to control the narrative.
Others noted that the couple’s “we’re so in love” storyline feels exaggerated. One user compared it to couples who post constantly on social media to hide deeper issues. Another commenter theorized that Robyn stopped putting effort into the relationship after becoming the only wife. While Kody continues to push affection to justify how his other marriages ended.
Another fan pointed out the awkward moments in recent episodes. They said Kody keeps trying to get the affection he once expected. They cited moments where he sought a kiss or romantic reassurance, only to receive hesitation, jokes, or distracted reactions from Robyn.
