Fans of Sister Wives have been buzzing with speculation after noticing Dayton’s absence from the show. Unlike the past, where he was at least mentioned, it seems like no one even speaks his name anymore. Now, rumors are swirling that Dayton has legally changed his last name back to his original surname and has moved in with his biological father.
The speculation started when a Sister Wives fan page on Facebook posted a discussion about Dayton’s alleged name change and relocation. Some viewers recalled seeing an article from a reality TV news site claiming that Dayton had taken this major step. Naturally, fans were eager to find out if there was any truth to these claims, as Dayton’s whereabouts have been a hot topic for quite some time.
The last known update about Dayton placed him in an RV parked in the driveway of Cody and Robyn Brown’s home. However, recent episodes have shown Cody and Robyn’s home life with their children—except for Dayton, who has been noticeably absent. This has led to fans questioning whether something deeper is going on. Many took to social media, expressing concern about why Dayton isn’t even mentioned anymore.
One of the biggest points of discussion among fans is Robyn’s alleged control over her children. Many recall how she uprooted her entire family to move to Flagstaff so Dayton could attend college there. Now, with his sudden disappearance from the show and the rumors of him choosing to live with his biological father, viewers wonder what led to this decision. Some speculate that, like other Brown children, Dayton may have wanted independence away from the strict family structure that Cody and Robyn have maintained.
Some fans have also questioned the financial aspects of the Sister Wives show, wondering if Dayton’s departure was influenced by money. There are claims that TLC paid the family through an LLC, and that the children—who appeared on the show—were not directly compensated. This has led to debates about whether Dayton, like some of his siblings, felt financially exploited.
Another interesting point fans have raised is Dayton’s reaction during the episode when Cody and Robyn informed the kids that their adoption had been finalized. Many remember his facial expression looking troubled when Cody told him that his biological father had given up his parental rights. Now, with these new rumors, fans speculate that Dayton might have long harbored mixed feelings about the adoption and may have chosen to reconnect with his biological roots.
The question remains—why hasn’t the show addressed this? Fans have pointed out that Sister Wives production tends to avoid tough topics, particularly anything that might paint Cody and Robyn in a negative light. Many believe that the show’s “Tell-All” episodes don’t actually reveal anything substantial and that Robyn and Cody carefully control the narrative.
So, is it true? Has Dayton truly reclaimed his original last name and moved in with his biological father? As of now, there’s no official confirmation, but fans are keeping a close eye on developments. If this speculation turns out to be true, it would mark a significant shift in Dayton’s relationship with the Brown family—one that viewers have long suspected was coming.
