A well-known figure from a popular reality series has debuted a dramatically different appearance, shaving off his signature beard in a bid to rekindle romance with his spouse. The change, he revealed, was a direct request from his wife, who found his facial hair uncomfortable.
“I need to lose this beard if I want more kisses,” the star explained in a recent episode. He even mused about a complete style overhaul, questioning how viewers would react to seeing him clean-shaven and with shorter hair.
His wife had been vocal about her dislike for the beard, comparing the experience of kissing him to the unpleasant sensation of a harsh kitchen scrubber. “It’s painful. I’m constantly getting poked,” she admitted, promising a significant increase in affection if he made the change. The deal was swiftly sealed, with the star heading to the bathroom to shave after securing a promise for some youthful romance.
The couple also opened up about how their relationship has evolved following the end of his previous marriages within their plural family structure. The wife confessed that she now feels a new sense of freedom. “I was always very careful before, because of the other wives. We wouldn’t show affection in public,” she said. “But now that it’s just us, we flirt all the time.”
This shift in dynamic touches on a longstanding point of contention with the show’s audience. For years, the star faced criticism for what many perceived as favoring this wife over his others, a situation that also reportedly created tension with several of his many children.
In a separate recent interview, the father addressed these past conflicts with a tone of introspection. “I should have had stronger relationships with my children,” he acknowledged. “I’m now at a point where I’m very willing to admit I was wrong. My failures came from thinking I knew how to be a good dad and husband when I didn’t. I got so much wrong, and I hated being blamed for it, which made me resistant to taking ownership.”
