Janelle Brown, a star on the show “Sister Wives,” recently opened up about the strained relationship between her ex-husband Kody Brown and his first wife, Meri Brown. According to Janelle, Meri had been distancing herself from Kody for many years before their official split in 2023. Even though Meri maintained a close relationship with Kody’s fourth wife, Robyn Brown, she was estranged from Kody for a long time.
The situation became even more complicated when the couple’s son, Leon Brown, who came out as transgender in June 2022, decided to leave the family. Meri then became even more withdrawn from their home life. By January 2023, Kody confirmed that their 32-year marriage was over.
Despite the breakup, Meri expressed her willingness to reconcile with Kody, but she believed that he was not interested in patching things up. Kody’s relationships with his other wives have also faced challenges. His third wife, Christine Brown, left the plural marriage in November 2021 and later married David Woolley. In the following year, Kody announced his separation from Janelle, his second wife.
Kody has admitted that finding common ground with his exes has been difficult, and the family dynamics have changed significantly. The relationships between the family members have become strained, with Kody describing his former partners as feeling like enemies rather than partners.
Following the breakup with Kody, Meri revealed on Instagram in January 2024 that she had started dating Amos Andrews in October of the previous year. However, by February 2024, she confirmed that the relationship had ended. On the other hand, Robyn Brown, Kody’s fourth wife, has maintained a stable relationship with him, despite the challenges in their family.
The Brown family has seen various changes and milestones in recent years. From marriages and engagements to welcoming new members into the family, each member has experienced significant life events. Despite the ups and downs, the family continues to navigate their complex relationships and individual journeys.
As the Brown family moves forward, it remains to be seen how they will continue to evolve and grow amidst the changing dynamics and challenges they face. The complexities of their plural marriage and personal relationships will undoubtedly shape their futures and continue to be a topic of interest for fans and followers of the popular reality show “Sister Wives.”
