Fans of the TLC show Sister Wives were left upset and angry when celebrity news anchor Sukanya Krishnan threw light-hearted questions at the Sister Wives cast—including patriarch Kody Brown and his current and former wives Janelle, Meri, Christine, and Robyn—during the show’s tell-all special instead of asking the hard questions. Fans of the show even flooded Sukanya’s Instagram with some asking whether she watches the show. But Sister Wives One-on-One Season 1 is for another day. For this article, we’ll focus on Sukanya’s husband, Eric Schroeder.
Learn about Eric and Sukanya’s relationship, their children, Eric’s age, job and more.
