SISTER WIVES SPOILERS
Mykelti Padron DROPS BOMB about Kody Brown having a “Favorite Kid” | SHOCKING DETAILS 😱💣🧨👀

In an emotional and revealing new twist in the Sister Wives saga, Mykelti Padron, daughter of Christine Brown and Kody Brown, has come forward with deeply personal truths about the family’s fractured dynamic. With her husband Tony Padron at her side, the couple opened up in a recent Patreon video, shedding light on what many fans have long suspected: Kody Brown not only had a favorite wife, but allegedly had a favorite child too.

And it wasn’t Mykelti.

According to Mykelti and Tony, Kody openly favored her sister Aspen, and the reason is both shallow and heartbreaking. Tony didn’t hold back, claiming that Kody liked Aspen best because she was always “prettied up.” This obsession with appearances wasn’t just a passing quirk—it was, allegedly, a full-blown fixation that affected not only how Kody treated his wives but how he bonded with his children.

Tony went on to say that Kody has always shown a strong preference for things and people he finds aesthetically pleasing. “He likes when his girls are pretty, when his boys are pretty,” Tony said in the video. And with that, he dropped the real bombshell: Kody had said out loud that Aspen was his favorite child.

That statement came as a shock to Mykelti, who responded by admitting that while Kody never told her directly that Aspen was his favorite, his actions certainly made it feel that way. “He never said that to me,” she explained. “But he acted like it.” Mykelti revealed that growing up, she struggled emotionally with feeling second to Aspen, and those feelings of inadequacy stayed with her into adulthood.

She described herself as “the insecure second child” and opened up about the pain of always feeling like she was on the outside looking in. While she tried not to internalize it, Mykelti admitted it hurt to feel like she was constantly being compared—to her sister, to her mother, and to Kody’s ideal version of a child.

Christine Brown, Mykelti’s mother and Kody’s third ex-wife, has previously discussed Kody’s obsession with appearances. In a recent episode of Sister Wives, she revealed that Kody regularly compared her looks to those of his fourth wife, Robyn. “He liked makeup. It was like you always had to look nice,” Christine said. “It mattered to him so much.” She added that Robyn often had more time to get “Kody ready,” which likely led to her getting more of his attention.

This same theme runs through many of the ex-wives’ recollections. Meri Brown, Kody’s first wife, also remembered how he used to buy her outfits and emphasize her appearance, even in the early days of their relationship. “Kody’s always wanted people around him to look good,” Meri said.

Mykelti echoed those sentiments, noting that Kody’s own mother was the type to dress up daily—wearing pearls and keeping herself groomed—much like Robyn does now. That standard, she said, became an unspoken expectation for everyone in the family. And those who didn’t meet it? They were often left behind emotionally.

Despite all this, Mykelti said she never really needed to be her father’s favorite. But she did recall a short period when she might have held that title—albeit briefly. “For like a little bit, I think there was a time that I was his favorite,” she reflected. Tony added that this likely happened right after Christine left Kody and Mykelti was trying to be the peacemaker in the family. At the time, she was still visiting Kody and Robyn and working to mend relationships, especially for the sake of the kids and grandkids.

However, things shifted again after the tragic passing of her brother Garrison Brown. Following the funeral, Mykelti’s feelings toward Robyn reportedly changed. Though she didn’t go into full detail, she hinted that recent events—including the birth of her twins Archer and Ace—altered the dynamics within the family and impacted her connection with both Kody and Robyn.

While Mykelti has accepted that she wasn’t Kody’s favorite, she spoke with warmth and honesty about her relationship with her mother. Christine, she said, avoids the term “favorite” altogether. “Mom hates the word favorite,” Mykelti explained. “But she really did enjoy it when I had twins. I was like extra cool or something.” It’s clear that Mykelti feels far more seen and valued by her mother than she ever did by her father.

The conversation around favoritism and neglect hits a nerve with many Sister Wives fans, especially those who have watched Kody’s relationships with his children deteriorate in recent seasons. The heartbreak of children feeling unaccepted, unloved, or ignored by their own parent is a heavy burden to carry, and Mykelti’s emotional transparency brings that pain to light.

Fans have long suspected that Kody played favorites—not just among his wives but among his kids as well. Mykelti and Tony’s revelations confirm that those suspicions may be rooted in truth. And for those who’ve followed the show for years, this latest reveal is yet another sign of how deeply fractured the Brown family has become.

As for Aspen—the alleged favorite—she’s been staying mostly out of the public drama, but there’s some major news on the horizon. Aspen Brown Thompson is currently pregnant and due to give birth to her first child on July 25th. That’s right—we’re officially on baby watch!

One thing is certain: the family may be expanding, but the emotional distance between Kody and many of his adult children is growing just as fast. Mykelti’s honesty offers fans a glimpse behind the scenes of what life in the Brown family really looked like—and it’s far from the picture-perfect image Kody once tried to present.

Stay tuned for more as the family continues to share their stories—and their truth. 💔🧨👀
