What Kody Brown’s New Ring Represents

A recent episode of Sister Wives showed Kody Brown at his cruelest after appearing to show off a new ring while over at his estranged wife, Meri Brown’s home. Instead of sporting the Claddagh ring, which was a representation of his four marriages, the father of 18 wore a thick silver ring with a golden horse in the middle. The piece of jewelry seemed less like an accessory and more like a dig to his first wife.

Ring Theories

The gold horse emblem could stand for a lot of things. For example, Kody could be referring to himself as a stallion, which are often seen as strong figureheads. Even though Kody is none of those, he could be trying to show he is still very much the head of a household. The ring could also be a wedding ring to just Robyn Brown. The two have been living a very monogamous lifestyle for years now, and she could have possibly insisted on him switching rings, especially after he lost two wives.

A horse, as your spirit animal, often represents freedom above all else. The horse has often been considered majestic, emphasizing the spiritual powers of independence, freedom, nobleness, endurance, and triumph. The horse is often seen as a wild animal like, those on  Assateague Island. Since the horse has been domesticated, the animal has often been seen as an instrument of expansion and conquest. It could be that Kody is again trying to send a message to his family stating he holds the power.

Kody probably thinks he is a prized stallion, as horse enthusiasts know the animals are used for breeding. Breeders pay good money to use a stud, and Kody could be hinting that he is back on the market, ready and willing to meet a new mare. With 18 children under his belt, it is hard to ignore the fact that Kody enjoyed his husband duties. Or the ring could be a tchotchke he got free for buying a new Ford Mustang since the TV personality does love a mid-life crisis car.

Meri Is Hanging In There

Even though Sister Wives fans can see the writing on the wall, Meri still is holding out hope that Kody will start caring about her again one day. During the episode, Meri tried to broach the subject of moving her clothing business to her B&B in Utah.

Meri admitted to the TLC cameras and Kody that she didn’t want him to “think that I’m walking away.” However, Kody was unfazed by the announcement and almost seemed relieved that Meri would be five hours down the road.

Kody Doesn’t Want To Lose Robyn’s Respect

Kody came across as cold as ice, while Meri let her emotions get the best of her. While Meri dabbed her eyes, Robyn tried her best to mediate, only for the supportive gesture to annoy Kody. The patriarch rarely gets upset with Robyn, but the caring move boiled Kody’s blood. The TLC star told cameras, “What I’m seeing here is Robyn being an advocate of me and Meri and our reconciliation…and they’re making me feel very uncomfortable.”

Kody went on to share that he has “One wife that I’ve got a great relationship with, and I’m afraid if I abandon these women, that she’ll lose respect for me.”

The Ring Means A Thing

Meri was quick to notice Kody’s new finger candy, and it was obvious that his choosing to wear it was a dig at his now ex-wife. She questioned his motive for flaunting the ring, noting it was probably meant to hurt her. Kody has never been the guy who walked away, but he has been the guy who push his wives so close to the edge that they chose to end the relationship.

Sister Wives viewers have noticed how Kody has tried to push Meri away from him and the family for years. Instead of embracing Meri’s honesty, Kody continues to play the victim. Kody even compares his two marriages, saying, “And now, we’ve got this small thing going on that’s not unimportant, and it is beautiful, but it’s not big like this other one. Can I adjust?” Whatever the ring really means, one thing is for sure: the showing off of it was meant to hurt Meri. The two called it quits after 25 years of marriage.
