Sister Wives’ Christine Brown Vows to Make 2023 Her Year After Kody Split

Looking to the future. Sister Wives star Christine Brown has been open about the process of moving on following her split from husband Kody Brown.

“I think what’s healthy for me and for our family is me leaving,” the mother of six confessed during a September 2022 episode of Sister Wives. “I thought that it was OK to be sad. I think I was a lot sadder than I thought. I tried to be happy as much as possible and certainly I still found joy in things. Plural marriage is tough.”

Christine and Kody, who were spiritually married in 1994, announced in November 2021 that they had called it quits for good. “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave,” she wrote via Instagram, shortly after moving back to Utah while the rest of the family stayed in Arizona. “We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family. At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family.”

The Cooking With Just Christine star — who shares son Paedon, and daughters Aspyn, Mykelti, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely, with Kody — later opened up about feeling guilty for leaving the plural marriage. The Wyoming native was previously legally married to Meri Brown from 1990 to 2014. He tied the knot with Robyn Brown and remains spiritually married to Janelle Brown.

“I’m like, ‘Am I being super selfish?’ I’m changing the whole dynamic of a huge family with so many people,” Christine admitted during the Sister Wives: One on One tell-all special in February 2022. “Is it just selfish? Is that what it is? I just decided I’ve got to live my life for me too. I wasn’t present. I wasn’t happy. It just wasn’t working anymore.”

Kody, for his part, explained that he was struggling with the aftermath of Christine’s decision to leave. “I love her and I, um … I don’t know what to do because I’ve got the grief, but I’m still angry,” he said at the time. “I’ll take the grief right now to be out of the anger phase.”

That same month, their son Paedon told Us Weekly that Christine made the right choice. “Mom is happier now,” he exclusively told Us in February 2022. “She is now minutes away from her two oldest daughters. And eventually, in the future, maybe more children will move up there.”

On Their Marriage Being ‘Sad’
"Marriage is hard, but I never wanted the kind of marriage that I have now," Christine confessed during an episode of Sister Wives that aired in November 2021.

Focusing on Family
While celebrating her first Valentine's Day following their split, she revealed that she was focusing on other types of love. “HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!” Christine wrote via Instagram at the time. “Take a break from this crazy world and focus on family today! #valentines #valentinesday #focus.” Youtube
Feeling ‘Free’
“We’re completely separate. We’re just gonna be friends, eventually," Christine confessed during the Sister Wives: One on One tell-all special in February 2022. "I just realized I had to make a decision for my heart, and my heart was done being broken. And it felt, well, freeing." Courtesy of Christine Brown/Instagram
On Having ‘High Standards’
After joking in a TikTok video that a World of Warcraft character named Durotan is the "love of my life," Christine added that she has "high standards" for any potential future partners. "I would [date] again! Of course, but I'm pretty picky!" she wrote in the caption of the post.   Youtube
On Removing Her Wedding Ring
“I don’t consider myself married to him anymore," the reality TV personality said during a September 2022 episode of Sister Wives. "I don’t wear our wedding rings anymore most of the time. I just feel like they’re a noose. … It felt so good just to take them off." Youtube
Back in the Game
In October 2022, Christine told Us that she was "casually dating" again after her split from Kody. “I’m not in the mood for any kind of a serious relationship, so one or two dates per person is all I’m gonna allow right now," she explained. “[I’m] just keeping it casual. … I really just like being me more than anything.” She added that she's "super grateful" she decided to leave the polygamous family when she did in light of Kody's comments about his wives conforming to patriarchy. “It’s so shocking and surprising because he’s not like that," she told Us. "I mean, back in Vegas, he was like, ‘If you ever wanna leave, we’ll figure out a way for you to leave peacefully and so we can still, like, get together with the kids and things like that.’” Courtesy of Christine Brown/Instagram; Shutterstock
