Sister Wives Cleaned Up Tony Padron’s Act?

Sister Wives star Tony Padron had a rough start when he first came home with Mykelti Brown to meet her parents, Kody Brown and Christine Brown. He didn’t make a good impression on his pending in-laws or for some of the fans as well.

It was all caught on camera for the TLC series. But something happened along the way to depict Tony Padron in a different light both on and off the Sister Wives screen.

Sister Wives: Did Tony Padron Insult Christine Brown’s Cooking?

Tony Padron made a remark when discussing wedding plans with Kody and Christine that many Sister Wives fans remember today. Tony wanted 10 tacos available for each of the 400 wedding guests they planned on inviting. And Mykelti went along with this.

He then insisted on “street tacos” and not the kind that Christine makes. Yep, and he said this outloud on the show. The Sister Wives fans know how much Christine prides herself on her cooking, so at some level this seemed to bother the mother of the bride.

Fans found this insulting to Christine, which put Tony in a less favorable light with many viewers. Still, fans got a kick out of watching Kody squirm as the dollar signs grew for Mykelti and Tony’s wedding venue.

Bad Money Vibes for Kody Brown?

The prospective Sister Wives son-in-law was adamant that 10 street tacos be available for each guest. So, if you do the math, that is 4,000 tacos. At the time this aired, fans jumped on social media to comment on how Tony seems to have no problem spending Kody’s money. After all, his future father-in-law was footing the bill for the wedding.

During the wedding planning, Kody looked worn down, as this marriage event came with a high price tag. Since Tony seemed to know how to push Kody’s buttons, fans requested seeing more of him on screen.

But once the wedding was over, Tony showed up now and then on the series. Then fans started to see something different in Mykelti’s new groom. They also saw a change in the couple through their social media posts.

Sister Wives: Will the Real Tony Please Stand Up…

The Sister Wives cameras first showed the viewers a Tony Padron who looked like he was about to ride on the coattails of this famous family. The show depicted him as a guy with an expectation of getting what he wanted for his wedding, regardless of the cost to Mykelti’s family.

This played out with Kody worrying about the cost of the wedding after Tony shared his plans of such a large affair. But things aren’t always what they look like on a reality TV show.

Then lo and behold, the curtains open to the Tony Padron we see today. Through his actions we learned something new. Mykelti’s husband is a highly successful chess player and one terrific family man who adores Mykelti and their children.

Introduction Scenes Caused a Buzz

Tony’s less-than-stellar introduction to Sister Wives certainly caused a buzz. But Mykelti marrying a chess wiz and all-around nice guy would not have gathered the drama that Tony’s wedding planning did. So, like a lot of other stuff seen on this show, fans believe he was introduced this way to spark the viewer’s interest, which it did.

Jump to Sister Wives today, and Tony has finally emerged as a likeable guy. Sure, he seems to lack that filter that stops him from blurting out what he is thinking before weighing the consequences first.

Christine described her son-in-law this way during one of the recent seasons. Talking about a lack of a filter, Kody Brown tends to have the same missing filter as well. So the family is likely used to this.

Sister Wives: Few Rocks Left Unturned

Today, many fans believe Tony brings out the best in Mykelti, and she does the same for him. Fans see them focus on being great parents. And from all their posts, it seems that they spend a lot of time with their kids.

They have a huge social media following, with fans flocking to hear what this couple has to say about the Brown family.

And as the video above suggests, Mykelti and Tony are not shy when it comes to sharing tidbits about Kody and the Brown family’s polygamous lifestyle of yesteryear. They leave very few rocks unturned when it comes to Kody.

This makes their posts very much sought after by the Sister Wives fans today. But no matter what topic these two share with their fans, there’s no doubt about it, they are living a life very much the opposite of Mykelti’s childhood.
