At the funeral of Garrison Brown—who tragically passed away—the absence of Dayton Brown, Robyn Brown’s son, was highly noticeable to Sister Wives fans. Not only at the funeral, but Dayton’s absence was clear in many family scenes, outings, and important family events shown on the series.
Based on photos and videos shared, Dayton was last seen at a dinner with Robyn and Cody in Scottsdale, Arizona, last year, a few months after Garrison’s death. Since then, Dayton has been largely missing from the show’s filming and family gatherings.
Fans on Reddit and other social media platforms have been asking: “Where is Dayton? Why isn’t he part of the family filming or events anymore?” Several theories have surfaced:
-
Dayton might have chosen to step away from filming, not wanting to be in the spotlight.
-
He reportedly had conflicts with other siblings around 2020-2021, causing some family separation.
-
Some believe Dayton wants to stay neutral in family drama and avoid making things worse on camera.
-
There are reports Dayton is living in an RV on Robyn and Cody’s property, which has been confirmed by fans and insiders. Their new mansion even has an RV garage, suggesting Dayton is still close by and monitored.
It’s important to note that Dayton is Robyn’s oldest child and has been described as having a chemical imbalance or disability, which Robyn has openly discussed in the past. Robyn is known to have tight control over her children, including restrictions like needing permission to go to church or leave the house.
Fans also speculate that Robyn may be the one deciding Dayton’s absence from the show, as she tends to manage the family tightly. One viewer noted that Dayton might be too honest or outspoken to follow the “script” Robyn and the family expect on camera, which could be why he’s not filmed.
Emotionally, when Robyn and Cody announced they would legally adopt Dayton, his reaction and that of his sister Aurora showed surprise and sadness rather than joy. Aurora even burst into tears, reflecting the difficult reality of their biological father’s decision to give up parental rights.
Overall, Dayton’s absence isn’t seen as being “cut off” by Cody but more due to personal choices and Robyn’s control within the household. Fans continue to watch closely for updates on Dayton and the Brown family story.
