During their separation, viewers may see Kody Brown’s response to Janelle Brown’s new residence
in an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming episode of Sister Wives. Opening the door to
a new apartment and a new chapter in her life without Kody Brown is Janelle Brown. Fans get
a sneak peek at the Brown patriarch stopping visiting his ex’s residence and their daughter Savanah during their separation in the Sister Wives! News episode airing on November 5th. Furthermore, Janelle appears to be completely at ease. “I guess in a way this has been a nice space because he’s not ever been into this space,” she explains in the preview. “So, it feels like it’s kind of my space. I’ve sort of liked having it as kind of my little sanctuary.” And while Kody compliments Janelle on her new residence, he admits the moment is a little awkward. “I don’t know how weird this is,” he says in a confessional after Janelle tells him she needs help hanging up some artwork. “I mean, maybe it’s just a test. ‘Hey, will you come over and hang pictures?’ ‘Sure, OK.’ I mean, I’ve been married to four women. Everything’s a test. ‘Pick me, pick me. Do something for me.
Do something for me.’ That’s what plural marriage can feel like sometimes.” In the end, the visit serves as more confirmation that Kody and Janelle’s romance is finished. It is one of several breakups he has experienced in the last two years, as his marriages to Meri and Christine Brown have also ended, leaving Robyn Brown as his only spouse. “This is a nice place,” Kody says. “The second apartment was somewhat small. However, it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps Janelle moved here since our apartment was the previous one. You know, she moved here, and it doesn’t seem like I’ll be living here with her anymore. I was living there with her.” As he puts it, “It’s her apartment. It’s not ours. But there’s no room for me. It’s not about me and her. I honestly don’t know why she’s showing me other than, well, I mean, our daughter lives there.”] Speaking of their daughter, fans got a look at where Kody—who shares six of his 18 children with Janelle—and Savanah stand. “Kody has been making effort with Savanah,” Janelle says in the episode. “He takes her out to dinner every couple of weeks. He is seeing her more frequently than he was at the beginning of the year for sure.”
Kody calls his bond with Savanah “sweet” and “gentle” and indicates it’s different than his estranged relationship with his sons Garrison and Gabriel. “I haven’t been in touch with Gabriel and Garrison for quite a while,” he continues. “The fact that I’m no longer close makes me unhappy. We just done so many rich, memorable things together throughout our lives; they were truly unique experiences.” While Kody implies he’s hopeful for a future reconciliation with them, he realizes it won’t happen right away. “I think and hope that in time we’ll just get over this and that we’ll be safe being back around each other,” he continues. “Right now, there’s not really an open door with Gabe and Garrison between their—they’re not willing to engage me.” Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.
