Kody was apparently inspired by William and Genielle’s polygamist lifestyle, which led to him having four wives. However, other family members may have chosen to live a monogamous lifestyle. This could potentially be the case for Kody’s siblings.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if people in a polygamous relationship have more than five children, especially if there are more than two women involved in the equation. Kody is currently the father of 18 children.
Although his parents William and Genielle (along with Bobbie and Sheryl) didn’t have as many children, it’s still a relatively large family. Read on for details including a sibling who became his wife!
