Fans have speculated for some time that Sister Wives star Robyn Brown would eventually become pregnant with Kody's 18th child, and now the news has been confirmed that the newly legal wife is officially with child!

Is Meri Hinting Big Problems?

Kody and Robyn officially confirmed the news on June 19, saying they were excited to be expanding their family, just months after news broke that the pair were now legally married following Kody and Meri's shocking divorce.

"We are so happy to announce an eagerly expected new member of the Brown family!" the couple said in a statement.

The couple declined to share details about how far along the pregnancy is, and whether or not they're expecting a boy or a girl, though Robyn did tweet about her excitement that after years of struggling, she was going to have another child with Kody.

"Finally! We are so excited!" she wrote before sharing a link to an article sharing the news. Noticeably absent from sharing in the couple's joy online are Kody's other wives, Meri, Janelle and Christine, all of whom have not acknowledged the news specifically on their Twitter accounts. However, Meri may have been hinting that she knew about the announcement a few days ago, sharing a positive message about how she felt on her account.

"Woke up with a heart full of love today," she wrote.

The family was wrapped up in what was considered a huge scandal during their recent fifth season, which saw the news that Meri and Kody had legally divorced after 24 years together, and Kody had then remarried Robyn, his youngest wife, making her the new legal wife. The family insisted that Meri had made the decision in order to give Kody and Robyn a better shot at allowing Kody to legally adopt her children from a previous marriage, but the news has still led to consistent speculation since that Meri is no longer happy with the family situation she is in and would announce a decision to leave it behind in the upcoming sixth season.

Overall, this will be the 18th child in the family. The other children include: Logan (Janelle's son), Aspyn (Christine's daughter), Mariah (Meri's daughter), Madison (Janelle's daughter), Mykelti (Christine's daughter), Hunter (Janelle's son), Garrison (Janelle's son), Paedon (Christine's son), Dayton (Robyn's son), Gabriel(Janelle's son), Gwendlyn (Christine's daughter), Aurora (Robyn's daughter), Ysabel (Christine's Daughter), Breanna (Robyn's daughter), Savanah (Janelle's daughter), Truly (Christine's daughter) and Solomon (Robyn's son).

Congratulations Kody & Robyn!

Season 6 of the show is expected to air later this fall.
