Sister Wives Season 19 continues to focus on the polygamous life of Kody Brown, who is ready to face troubles alongside his family. While the current season’s drama is piquing interest, fans are curious about one aspect: why did Sister Wives leave Las Vegas and move to a new location?
Here is everything you need to know about the family’s departure from the populous city.
What was the reason for Sister Wives to leave Las Vegas?
There were multiple reasons behind Sister Wives leaving Las Vegas. As fans are aware, Sister Wives started off with Kody’s wives and kids living in Lehi, Utah. Further in 2011, the family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, which is known for its posh locations and vibrant environment. While fans were enjoying the family dynamics in Las Vegas, things were about to take a different turn.
Sister Wives Season 13 witnessed the family going on a trip across the United States. However, fans were left surprised when the family decided to settle down in Flagstaff, Arizona, leaving Las Vegas. This led to chaos on social media with viewers speculating multiple reasons behind this sudden development.
Later, the Brown family spoke about this move during an interaction with People. They stated, ”As much as we’ve loved making our home and memories here in Las Vegas, we are excited to embark on a new adventure in Flagstaff, Arizona! We are looking forward to cooler temperatures, the mountain air, scenic views, and the slower lifestyle of Flagstaff.”
While the exact reason wasn’t revealed, Kody Brown said in an episode that he doesn’t find Las Vegas to be “a wonderful place to live.” However, his wives pointed out the open-minded nature of the place. Additionally, Kody’s ex-wife Christine expressed that she was “done with the state” and does not care about its “vibe” (via The Direct).
Fans also felt that finances might have been a struggle for the family, especially Las Vegas’ balloon mortgage. Soon, Christine and Kody’s daughter revealed in a Q&A session that the reason being told was selling houses to make a profit. However, the real reason was her brother getting into the Northern Arizona University (via All About The Tea).
