Sister Wives fans have a wide range of opinions on Mykelti Brown and Tony Padron. Some viewers find them amusing, while others have soured on them after they expressed personal views on their Patreon.
Since the show centers around the family’s polygamous roots, it’s easy to forget that the cast members have many interests and hobbies outside of filming. Tony even managed to make one of his favorite hobbies into a fruitful career.
See what Sister Wives fans had to say upon discovering Tony Padron’s remarkable hidden talent.
Tony Padron Possess A Highly Intellectual Skill
Tony Padron may be better known to the public as a reality star and father of three. But there’s certainly more to him than meets the eye. His interests certainly expand well beyond reality television fame.
“Did you all know about Tony?” a Sister Wives viewer posted on Reddit. “This is so weird and it’s probably been mentioned here but I just find it so wild. I was watching Grand Masters play cheese and there’s like a little niche of some really good players that all hang out and our man Tony was there???? I was so confused and felt like I was tripping but no, Tony is like a really good, well recognized chess player.”
Tony may not speak about his chess career on TLC, but he certainly doesn’t shy away from it on social media. Fans who follow him on Instagram can frequently spot him at tournaments or networking with other top-ranked players.
Sister Wives Fans Express Pride In The TLC Star’s Abilities
Some Redditors were aware of Tony’s professional chess career, but others felt surprised and expressed interest in learning more. So far, TLC hasn’t explored Tony’s chess prowess onscreen. A few others pointed out the Padrons even moved to North Carolina because Tony accepted a job teaching the game.
Comments included:
- “This is my first time hearing about it and think it’s such a shame not to be recognized for a great achievement. People are such haters with them. I don’t love them but it’s annoying at this point.”
- “Someone in another post somewhere said Tony’s playing chess while the rest of them are playing checkers, and that’s why Kody hasn’t warmed up to him.”
- “That’s actually such an interesting thing to be proficient at! Good for him.”
- “This is actually funny to me. For some odd reason, I thought he was a ‘gamer.’ I had visions of him in a basement playing video games! I had no idea the game was chess.”
