Sister Wives’ Christine Brown and Janelle Brown formed a strong friendship before — and after — their respective splits from Kody Brown.
Kody was legally married to Meri Brown from 1990 to 2014, when he opted to divorce her in order to lawfully wed Robyn Brown, who initially joined the family in 2010. Kody’s spiritual unions with Janelle and Christine began in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
After more than 20 years together, Christine announced her split from Kody in November 2021. Viewers learned during the December 2022 tell-all special that Janelle and Kody had been “separated for several months.” Meri confirmed her decision to leave the family in January 2023.
As the plural family crumbled, Christine and Janelle only grew closer — as did their children. In fact, Janelle and all six of her kids attended Christine’s October 2023 wedding to David Woolley. Kody, Robyn and Meri were not present.
