Kody has said that “Love should be multiplied, not divided,” and that he has a “divine calling” to polygamy. However, he is not dogmatic about his faith with his children. Kody stated:

Despite support from her mother about her growing family, Maddie Brown Brush has had a more difficult road when it comes to her relationship with her polygamist father Kody. She has gone “No contact” with Kody. She has said, “It’s because of stuff that has happened.” Brown shared on her podcast The Authentic Society that Kody “Doesn’t have any respect for boundaries, and you have to play by his rules, and I just don’t care to do that.” Kody is not involved in the lives of his grandchildren. He has said, “It’s an unrealistic expectation for grandparents to be in their grandchildren’s lives all the time.” Maddie does not want her father involved regardless of her father’s views on the matter.
