In the latest Sister Wives drama, a revelation during the recent Tell-All episode has fans asking: Did Kody Brown finally admit he has no real relationship with his daughter Truly? It appears that viewers picked up on a significant detail during the special that many interpreted as confirmation that Kody no longer maintains contact or communication with his youngest daughter from Christine Brown. The fallout from the split between Kody and Christine seems to have had deeper consequences than previously imagined, especially when it comes to parenting their child.

This revelation has stirred up massive online conversation. Reddit users quickly jumped on the topic, dissecting Kody and Christine’s own words. One viewer pointed out, “The Tell-All confirms Kody doesn’t see Truly. Both he and Christine said they don’t talk or see each other. So how can they co-parent?” The simple truth is: they don’t. The couple appears to be functioning in a state of “parallel parenting,” where both parents maintain separate relationships with the child, often facilitated through third parties—if there’s any relationship left at all.

Fans had strong opinions, especially about whether or not Kody’s absence from Truly’s life is intentional. One fan remarked, “You can’t co-parent with a narcissist. You parallel parent.” Others argued over whether or not the “narcissist” label fits Kody, with many asserting he’s too focused on Robin Brown and her children to be concerned with anyone else—including his own biological kids. Several longtime viewers noted that Kody seems to prioritize Robin’s family above all else, often at the expense of his other children. He’s seen doting on her and her kids consistently, while his connection to Christine and their shared daughter seems to be non-existent.

Christine herself shed light on the situation, revealing that she used to try texting Kody to schedule visits for Truly. However, Kody would reportedly ignore her messages. Eventually, Christine had to rely on their older daughters—McKelti and Isabelle—to arrange visitations. This dynamic clearly isn’t ideal, as it places an unnecessary emotional burden on the older siblings. But Christine felt she had no other option if Truly was going to maintain any sort of relationship with her father.

Some fans speculate that any time Kody has spent with Truly was merely for show—or “for the cameras.” As one user observed, “I bet visits only happened during filming or the holidays, and even then, they were probably awkward and forced.” These sentiments echo statements made by Janelle, who claimed at one point that Kody hadn’t even spoken to their daughter Savannah in six months.

It’s evident that Kody’s relationships with many of his children have deteriorated since the family’s unraveling began. His alleged jealousy of Christine’s fiancé, David Woolley, and David’s bond with the kids has only fueled the tension. Kody, despite being clearly upset that someone else is now in a fatherly role, doesn’t seem to have taken meaningful steps to reconnect or repair his own bonds with his children.

There’s a growing belief among fans that Kody simply refuses to take responsibility for the distance between himself and his children. He may rely on occasional texts or minimal communication, but nothing close to what one would call an active parental role. And Truly, now a teenager, may be old enough to call or text her father directly, but how much of that is happening without her mother’s involvement is unclear.

Another theory making the rounds is that Christine took Kody to court not solely for child support, but more to establish legal boundaries. As fans recall, Christine mentioned in past interviews that visits were often last-minute, leaving her and her family scrambling to accommodate Kody’s whims. Going the legal route may have been her way of putting an end to that pattern. By having visitation and custody clearly documented, Christine ensures that Kody can’t just call when it’s convenient for him and expect Truly to be available. This isn’t just about money—it’s about structure, accountability, and protecting her daughter from erratic parental involvement. 

Christine has also proven that she’s no longer interested in directly communicating with Kody, preferring instead to work through others or the legal system. This reflects what many co-parents of high-conflict divorces experience: minimal communication and third-party facilitation. Some fans even shared personal stories that echoed this dynamic—mothers who used stepdads, grandparents, or older siblings to coordinate visits because communication with their exes had become too toxic or dysfunctional.

Despite all the criticism Kody receives, some viewers came to his defense, pointing out that there have been public sightings of Kody with Truly in the past year or two. They argue that the narrative of “no contact” may be exaggerated or misunderstood. One fan even recalled seeing footage of Kody shopping with Truly and Isabelle before Christmas, adding, “Let’s not forget the facts. He has been seen with her—just not often.”

Still, the majority consensus seems to be that whatever relationship Kody has with Truly is severely limited. And the fact that older siblings must step in to help facilitate what should be a straightforward father-daughter connection speaks volumes. Christine’s statements, court filings, and the testimony of other family members make it clear: Kody’s involvement is inconsistent at best.

And as much as Kody’s defenders may argue that Truly can talk to her dad directly, fans can’t help but notice that the deeper issue lies in Kody’s priorities. If he truly wanted a close relationship with his daughter, wouldn’t he be the one taking initiative—rather than putting the onus on everyone else to make it happen?

Many believe that Christine’s decision to move to North Carolina and marry David was a wake-up call for Kody, though too little, too late. Instead of fighting for custody or making an effort to stay involved, he has largely retreated, leaving Christine and her new husband to care for Truly full-time.

The conclusion many fans draw is simple: Kody Brown is no longer an active father figure in Truly’s life. Whether it’s due to laziness, resentment, or sheer indifference, his actions—or lack thereof—speak louder than any scripted line or public statement ever could.

As the Sister Wives saga continues, fans are keeping a close eye on how this broken family dynamic evolves. Will Kody make an effort to rebuild his relationships with his children, or will he continue to focus solely on Robin and their kids? Only time will tell. But for now, Truly’s connection with her father seems to be more symbolic than substantial.
