In “Sister Wives,” the ex-wives of Kody Brown—Meri, Janelle, and Christine—have been thriving

since their separations from him. The dynamics of their polygamous family, which originally consisted

of Kody and his three wives, shifted significantly when Robyn joined as the fourth wife. Kody’s

favoritism towards Robyn caused tension and led to the eventual breakdown of his relationships with Meri, Janelle, and Christine. Christine was the first to leave after Kody admitted he could no longer have an intimate marriage with her, citing her behavior as a sister wife. This admission was the final straw for Christine, who had long felt neglected and unimportant compared to Robyn. Her departure was followed by Janelle and then Meri, both of whom also felt sidelined by Kody’s preferential treatment of Robyn.

Meri’s struggles included being catfished, which severely damaged her relationship with Kody. Despite her attempts to mend their marriage, Kody’s indifference and lack of effort led to their eventual separation. Since leaving Kody, Meri has embarked on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, launching a new business venture and embracing a healthier, happier lifestyle. Janelle, too, faced significant challenges, particularly in navigating the strained relationship between Kody and their sons, Gabe and Garrison.

The tension escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic when Kody’s strict rules caused a rift within the family. Janelle’s loyalty to her sons further drove a wedge between her and Kody. Despite the tragic loss of their son Garrison, Janelle remains resilient and focused on self-care. Christine, after leaving Kody, found love again with David Woolley. Moving back to Salt Lake City, Utah, she started a new life filled with happiness and contentment. Her departure from Kody marked a turning point, allowing her to shed the stress of their tumultuous relationship and embrace a brighter future. Meanwhile, Robyn and Kody have been navigating their monogamous relationship post-divorce from the other wives. Despite facing criticism and the emotional fallout from Kody’s other failed marriages, Robyn remains supportive of Kody. They continue to film for the show, hinting at the potential for a new season of “Sister Wives.” The future of the Brown family remains uncertain, but the resilience and growth of Meri, Janelle, and Christine stand as a testament to their strength and independence.
