Gwendlyn Brown Says Kody and Christine Should Have Split Sooner

by

Gwendlyn Brown didn’t believe her parents should have stayed married.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share this intriguing insight: Years before the breakup, I, the insider, noticed the telltale signs that something wasn’t right in the relationship between Sister Wives‘ star, my beloved Kody Brown, and Christine Brown. It was like a slow-motion train wreck that I couldn’t look away from.

Gwendlyn, aged 23, expressed to Teen Vogue during an interview on May 14 that she had felt for some time that it would be better if her parents divorced. She recollected an instance from her childhood when she witnessed them arguing and her immediate thought was, “I wish they’d get a divorce.” Isn’t it strange for a child to think that?

Kody, Christine, along with their children Aspyn (30), Mykelti (28), Paedon (26), Ysabel (22), and Truely (15) had been together for 25 years before deciding to end their non-official multi-partner relationship.

Following the separation of Kody and Christine, the entire family structure shifted significantly, as the father’s relationships with his wives, Janelle Brown and Meri Brown, also reached their conclusion in the year 2022.

Presently, Kody is only wedded to Robyn Brown, a union formalized in 2014. On the other hand, Christine has since moved on and tied the knot with David Woolley in 2023.

On this show, which debuted in 2010, Gwendlyn observed as her parents’ bond weakened gradually, yet she considered filming alongside her 17 family members a privilege… until it became something different.

She expressed that we were suddenly catapulted into fame and wealth, leading to a shift in her desires. “Life became simpler for a child no longer struggling with hunger,” she added, noting that this initial phase was a great boon.

“I couldn’t have a hard day,” as she recalled. “There wasn’t a lot of privacy.

Previously, Gwendlyn has expressed that her upbringing in front of television cameras significantly influenced her life, including unusual encounters regarding the way it affected her feelings about women who admired her father in an inappropriate manner.

In a 2023 YouTube video, Gwendlyn expressed that there was an unsettling issue regarding women showing excessive interest in her father. At one point, she even needed to change classes due to a teacher who became inappropriately fixated on the situation.

She was quite peculiar, as if there were no end to it, she noted. I could share numerous anecdotes regarding her. For instance, during one whole class session, we spent half of our time chattering about my family, and I found myself thinking, ‘I’m merely trying to master Spanish here, ma’am!’

Kody Brown once quipped on “Sister Wives” that when he first met Robyn in 2009, she resembled a soccer mom. He humorously remarked that she had a van, three children, and was divorced, which led him to think, “I didn’t need a van, a divorced woman, and three kids in my life—that’s just trouble.” However, as time went on, they ended up together, and over the years, their family grew with the addition of son Solomon and daughter Ariella.

In my perspective as a lifestyle guide, I find it challenging to incorporate new team members when it comes to personal relationships, much like the situation of Meri, Janelle, and Christine leaving their collective group. The revolving door approach feels unsettling to me. It’s akin to trying something and if it doesn’t work out, immediately moving on to someone else. This pattern is tough for me, as it feels disrespectful towards those who have come before and those who are yet to join.

In January 2024, a year following their separation announcement, Meri disclosed on Instagram that she started dating Amos Andrews back in October of the previous year. However, by February 2024, Meri also shared on Instagram that they had ended their relationship.

In an official declaration of her relationship with David Woolley on Valentine’s Day 2023, Christine expressed her joy, saying, “At last, I’ve found the love of my life in David. The moment he held me close for the first time, it felt as if my soul was taking its first breath. He is kind and wonderful, a delightful presence with my children and an endearing grandfather. I never imagined that I could experience such profound love.”

Two months later, their fairy tale deepened with a spring proposal. “David makes me feel like royalty and tells me I’m beautiful every day,” Christine shared with People. “I have never known love like this before, and the world seems more vibrant with him by my side.”

Their union was formalized in Utah on October 7, and she wrote, “I am truly blessed! I have married my best friend.

In 2016, Janelle’s eldest child, who was the first of the Brown family’s 18 children to get married, tied the knot with Caleb Brush at an outdoor wedding in Montana. This event was documented by TLC’s cameras. Over nine years later, they have expanded their family, welcoming a new addition named Emilia in March 2025, joining their older siblings Axel, Evie, and Josephine.

In a post on Instagram from North Carolina, Maddie expressed that our lovely baby girl chose to take her sweet time, leaving us all in anticipation. However, once the moment was right for her, there was no delay—she entered the world without hesitation. Born on March 14th, she was nothing short of flawless.

Four years following their television appearance on the TLC reality show, Meri’s lone child relocated to Denver and established residence with Audrey Kriss.

In 2022, I couldn’t help but express my admiration for my partner by saying, “You are my dearest melody.” Truly, life with you is a delight that sweetens every moment. Audrey echoed my sentiments, “Sharing this journey as your partner and witnessing your growth into the remarkable person you are today has been an unparalleled honor and source of joy for me.

In 2022, Logan, the eldest Brown child, reunited the group after marrying his long-term partner, Michelle Petty, in Arizona. Janelle, his mother, expressed on Instagram that it was a beautiful day and her heart melted throughout the wedding. She mentioned that one always feels a sense of peace when their children find outstanding life partners.

Six years after her 2016 wedding to Antonio “Tony” Padron, Mykelti playfully admitted that they had put their marriage vows to the test by adding twins Archer and Ace to their family in November 2022. On Instagram, she shared, “We have three children and four relocations under our belt. We’ve had a lot of joyous moments and some challenging times, but we’re still navigating this married life.”

After their wedding in 2018, Christine’s eldest daughter and her spouse Mitch Thompson have been exploring various destinations, ranging from Paris to Alaska. However, in December 2022, they decided to settle down, as Mitch announced on Instagram, “We purchased our first house! Perfect timing for Christmas.

Aspyn announced her pregnancy with the couple’s first baby in April 2025.

Prior to completing their first year as a couple, Beatriz Queiroz, Christine’s third-born daughter and partner, visited the most joyful destination on the planet and celebrated six months together with a delightful chocolate fondue. The sweetest moment followed, as Gwendlyn provided a peek at the romantic, candlelit proposal adorned with roses on Instagram in November 2022, expressing her excitement with the simple phrase, “I’m engaged!!”. Afterward, they got married in July 2023, labeling a photograph from the ceremony as “Meet Mrs. Queiroz (twice)”.
