Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

As a seasoned observer of human dynamics and relationships, I find myself deeply moved by the stories of the Brown family from “Sister Wives.” Their journey is a poignant reminder that even the most unconventional of families face challenges that test their bonds and force them to reevaluate their paths.


Madison Brush is welcoming another little girl to her crew.

29-year-old offspring of “Sister Wives” personalities Janelle Brown and Kody Brown, who is pregnant with her husband Caleb Brush’s fourth child, announced they are expecting their third daughter. This newborn will be welcomed by her big brother Axel, aged 7, as well as her older sisters Evie, 5, and Josephine, who is 21 months old.

Maddie expressed her delight on Instagram on November 8th by announcing that Baby Brush #4 will be another little girl! She posted a picture of herself cradling her baby bump. Although Evie is already thrilled, Axel seems to be taking some time to adjust, while Joey remains clueless about the upcoming event. Caleb and I are just eagerly waiting for a healthy, happy girl to join our family!

In my latest update on motherhood, I’ve disclosed an unexpected twist – baby number four wasn’t initially part of our plans.

On the November 4th episode of “The Authentic Society” podcast, she expressed surprise by saying, “This came as a shock,” because they had been preparing to wrap up, and while Caleb was discussing matters with a urologist, she exclaimed, “I’m pregnant!

The unexpected pregnancy, coupled with it being the reality star’s fourth child, created an extraordinary and almost dreamlike situation.

She confessed that it was both startling and unexpected, “I can hardly believe it, it’s as if Joey simply occurred, which is why I’ve felt pregnant for what feels like two years.

Instead, Maddie shared that she and her spouse, after eight years of marriage, didn’t feel taken aback or disheartened upon learning they were expecting another daughter.

Caleb and I are quite geeky, and our assumption was that the baby would likely be a girl,” she clarified, implying, “This is usually the case statistically, as if you already have two of one gender, it’s more probable to have another.

However, there was one member of the family who wasn’t thrilled by the news, the couple’s sole son.

Maddie shared that Axel was deeply upset. He wept and wailed, and in the morning, he confessed his hope that God would change their new child’s gender to male. To which she responded, “That doesn’t work like that, pal.

This time, Maddie and Caleb will enjoy additional assistance since grandma Janelle has moved part-time to North Carolina to be closer to their expanding family, and she’s quite enthusiastic about it!

Janelle praised Maddie as an exceptional mom to TopMob News in October, saying, ‘She’s been truly remarkable!’ She then jokingly suggested, ‘You know, you could have even more if you wish.’ But Maddie replied, ‘No, Mom. Four is perfect.’

Yet, the reality TV personality remains optimistic, stating, “I’m ready to assist! Feel free to ask for as many as needed.

For bombshells from the current season of Sister Wives, read on.

As a lifestyle advisor, I might rephrase it like this: In retrospect, Kody Brown had hinted at his intention to separate from his first wife Meri Brown not long after their 1990 wedding vows. However, he subtly gave me the impression that he would address their issues by expressing, “Oh Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be an opportunity for a fresh start for us.” This was reminiscent of many instances where Kody has given hope, only to find that his actions didn’t align with his words over the years.

“She expressed her primary concern as his poor communication, including how he truly feels, what he desires or doesn’t desire, and the narrative he has been sharing throughout the years.

Kody admitted that there might have been some confusing signals, but as he began to tackle various tasks, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point of doing this?” He clarified his stance by stating that he would no longer pursue a romantic relationship with her at this time.

Either way, Meri’s friends were thrilled when she finally pulled the plug in early 2023. 

She admitted, “They essentially said, ‘We’re here for you, we’re on your side. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. With newfound clarity, she realized that for years, he had been attempting to persuade her to leave by asserting he didn’t love her, “As if, if I could be made to depart, then he wouldn’t be the villain because he didn’t abandon ship.

After many years since our family had acquired the 14-acre land parcel earmarked for construction in Flagstaff, Ariz., I admitted during the season premiere that my dream of building there was fading. With the need to settle the full purchase price of $820,000 still unmet (which we reportedly accomplished in 2023), I expressed my feelings frankly to my wife Robyn Brown, saying, “I’d almost prefer to abandon it or sell it and then restart fresh somewhere else.

As for Robyn, “I can’t talk about that,” she responded. “That is so not where I’m at.”

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

As a devoted follower, I’d rephrase it this way: In an earlier conversation with TopMob News, I, Janelle Brown, admitted that we gradually drifted apart. However, it was Kody’s shortcomings as a parent to some of our children that eventually compelled me to part ways.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as follows: “The turning point for me came when my relationship with my children seemed irreparable, and it didn’t appear he would go to great lengths to mend it. At that moment, I realized that was the primary reason I hadn’t moved on before.” This way, it’s first-person and easier to read, maintaining a conversational tone.

In the November 3rd episode, any suggestion of reconciliation from Kody was firmly off the table for Janelle.

She stated that it seems impossible for her to make peace with him and allow him to be part of her children’s lives. However, she made it clear that she will always prioritize her children’s well-being.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Kody offered this reason behind his lack of effort to repair the strained relationships he had with multiple grown children: he wasn’t putting in more effort.

In the September 15th episode, he expressed his feelings of not belonging within the family anymore. Despite being legally married to Robyn and jointly raising their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he mentioned that his connections with some of the other children are limited and seldom. Feeling overwhelmed by this situation, he questioned, “What do I do with all of this? It doesn’t feel like a family.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

In the season 19 premiere, Robyn admitted that their marriage was facing its most challenging period after 14 years together, despite being monogamous for the first time. “We’re arguably experiencing the worst we’ve ever encountered in our union,” she said. “Things have been difficult between us. Kody isn’t certain whether to blame himself or one of his other wives. He feels a great deal of rejection, and I believe he’s wondering if I will reject him too.

As a consequence, she disclosed, “I’m constantly vigilant. I have to keep checking that he isn’t undermining our relationship.” In her own words, the most challenging aspect was: “There’s no support available for dealing with the fact that I’m still married to a man who is getting divorced multiple times.

Meanwhile, Kody was grappling with a wave of self-doubt, expressing, “I find it hard to stand before a mirror and tell myself sincerely, ‘You’re great, buddy.’

For Robyn, it was tough to see her ex-sister wives thriving in their latest phase. As she put it in the October 27 episode, “They’re all progressing,” she observed. “It feels like I’m the one who didn’t make it far enough.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Add Madison, the oldest child of Janelle, to the list of kids who aren’t currently in contact with Kody. As Janelle shared during the premiere, “Maddie hasn’t had any conversations with her dad.” They don’t call each other, and there’s no relationship at present. Essentially, she has cut them both out of her life.

What Janelle pointed out is that Kody seems to be only partially invested in his relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine. She expressed that she doesn’t want him to have much contact unless he is fully committed to it.

Consequently, during the September 22 episode, it was revealed that Kody had effectively ended communication with Maddie and her spouse Caleb Brush – whose sister was previously married to Kody’s brother – when the family began to disintegrate significantly.

Due to Kody’s absence in visiting or calling, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as stated by Janelle. She has felt that until he can be reliable and show up without causing drama, it might be best for them not to be aware of his presence.

Moreover, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to reconnect and fix matters. She added, “It seems fitting for the children to follow suit as well.

At the moment, Kody appears unwilling to bridge the gap, complaining that whenever he converses with his daughter, their talks seem aimed at spreading rumors, leaving him feeling exhausted by it.

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that “He hinted at not having ever truly loved me and feeling as though he was obligated to marry me.” In response, she told him, “‘Kody,’ I said, ‘I know you did love me.’

And if he didn’t, the mom to Leon Brown said in a confessional, why did he ever propose? 

She pondered, ‘Why would a solitary man opt to marry a solitary woman if he didn’t feel love for her initially? Isn’t it harsh to select someone from the crowd and then declare, “I choose you with the intention of trying to compel myself to love you for the next three decades”?'” or

In a personal reflection, Kody stated: “Meri is making certain claims against me. Well, she can speak as she pleases. I choose not to respond to them.

Though, he would share that they never enjoyed a honeymoon period. 

He firmly stated during the October 20th episode that their marriage was in trouble throughout its entire duration. He explained this because he had a much stronger bond with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.

He acknowledged that he “should have ended the relationship two and a half decades back,” yet he continued due to fear. He added, “Authority figures would never permit remarriage if you’re disposing of spouses.

Despite being uncertain about whether to develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, Janelle mentioned that the first move was settling the Arizona property debt. With Kody refusing to discuss the matter, she admitted to her former sister wife Christine Brown in the September 22 episode that “I feel like I’ll have to consult a lawyer.” This, she believes, is the only way she can possibly get any resolution from him.

In her own words, Janelle admitted that since she doesn’t have a valid legal marriage with Kody, she has no legal grounds to assert any claims over his property. She explained further, “It’s not as simple as just filing for divorce; it’s complex because there isn’t a legally recognized union.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

As a die-hard admirer putting words to my thoughts, I can’t help but share my perspective on Kody’s stance regarding his silence with Janelle over their Arizona property. You see, it boils down to this: he feels he can no longer rely on her trustworthiness.

He firmly stated during the September 22 episode that he would settle the property matter when necessary, and he preferred to keep his actions private due to being weary of sharing details that get circulated by the rumor mill in our fractured family.

A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview. 

She confided, “He spills secrets as if he’s got holes in him, and I found out things about his past relationships and multiple marriages that made me feel he shouldn’t have told me those things.

In the days when their affection for each other continued to grow instead of wane, they would combine their funds in a single savings jar.

In simpler terms, Janelle explained during the September 22nd episode that we would go to great lengths to assist one individual, followed by collective support for another. This was the norm until around ten years ago. However, things have changed dramatically, and now it seems more about accumulating personal wealth rather than focusing on shared resources.

When my beloved artist Robyn found herself needing a new abode in the enchanting state of Arizona, we, her devoted fans, pooled our resources together to purchase her exquisite $1.65 million, five-bedroom mansion – a property that graced the market back in August.

Initially, Robyn stated that the acquisition would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all share the mortgage, she faced resistance. Kody responded, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, protect Robyn’s inheritance,” as Janelle remembered. Now that she is leaving the family, Janelle expressed her desire to receive her share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.

But that could be a tough sell. 

Robyn remarked, “After all the time we spent working together, it seems perplexing to me when Janelle mentions she’s owed money. I can’t help but wonder, ‘How is this calculated? How is this determined?’ It’s all quite bewildering.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

In response to their struggles with Coyote Pass payments, Janelle pointed out that Kody mentioned having numerous other debts. However, she’s noticed him acquiring other assets such as trailers and home decorations. She commented on Robyn and Kody’s house, saying she sees plenty of art on the walls and various items. “I understand I’ve spent money on things too,” she added. Meanwhile, Kody explained that a significant portion of his funds went towards purchasing cars (“Basically had a fleet”) and insuring their children.

Janelle admitted she was often puzzled about the way Kody and Robyn managed their finances, but she would exclaim in awe, “I’d always be taken aback by how beautiful her backyard was. It was always fully landscaped. And there was always something new at her house. I’d think to myself, ‘Wow. Really.’

Essentially, she conveyed that he didn’t seem to value her needs or desires. Over time, this became increasingly evident, causing frustration not only for her but also for her grown children who expressed their disapproval, asking something along the lines of “What’s going on, Mom?

In a different phrase, Robyn became more cautious with her finances following the breakdown of her first marriage.

In the September 22 episode, she admitted, “I wasn’t so good with finances before.” Growing up, she encountered many difficulties and learned valuable budgeting skills during her divorce. Addressing her fellow sister wives, she explained, “It seems like you prioritized your spending differently than I did.

Currently, as was revealed in the September 22 episode, when Janelle gathers with Christine (mother of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) and their families, she admitted that there is little to no contact between herself, Meri, Robyn, or Kody. She doesn’t anticipate this situation changing significantly in the future.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Speaking about the period when they lived together on a cul-de-sac in Las Vegas, Kody referred to it as “the best time of my life”. He explained that everything ran smoothly during this time, with Maddie and Caleb present. He found it wonderful having them around and held a strong affection for Caleb, considering him like family.

In my perspective as a lifestyle advisor, the situation in Arizona took an unexpected turn when differing views on COVID-19 safety measures led to disagreements. This discord unfortunately extended beyond the public realm and began to affect personal relationships, including his own marriages. As he grappled with the dissolution of these unions, he found that the bonds with his children also seemed to fray: “The breakdown of those relationships left a bitter taste,” he explained.

But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021. 

She stated during the September 22nd episode, “The kids who seemed frustrated had been feeling that way long before I departed. Leaving didn’t affect their bond with him; Kody has the ability to mend his relationships with his children.

Though it’ll definitely take some work. 

Kody expressed his frustration, saying, “I’m still upset about how I was treated, and it hasn’t let up yet. You see, I can’t accept blame for things my wife or ex-wife claims I did. I can only hope that with time, the resentment will fade, and we’ll find our way back to forgiveness and love.

At their wedding, which took place when Kody was 21 and Meri was 19, both admitted to not being particularly well-acquainted with each other, either spiritually or legally. (Later on, they filed for divorce in 2014 so that Kody could legally adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from her previous marriage.)

In our wedding vows, I discovered a side of her that was unlike anything I had known before. I believe there were certain past issues, or “baggage,” as one might say, that Meri carried which I wasn’t privy to initially. At first, I thought I could adapt to this difference.

Despite his desire to depart, he found himself unable to do so. Kody explained that in their plural marriage, a man cannot seek a divorce if he wishes to remain faithful and devoted. Thus, he was trapped within that relationship. Simultaneously, he wasn’t yearning for an exit; instead, he sought understanding about whether they could salvage and mend the relationship.

Due to the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could resolve their issues. However, whenever they interacted, Kody stated, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t entertaining, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to be interested in her, but I find myself growing weary.

To be fair, he added, he could see why Meri felt abandoned, “But I didn’t kick me out. Christine, Janelle and Meri all chose to have me leave the home.”

Though Janelle and Christine felt they didn’t need to divorce Kody because their marriage was never legal, Meri asked their church for an official separation, called a release, in late 2022.

In the episode on September 22nd, she clarified that all four of us married Kody through our church. However, since it’s impossible for all of us to be legally married, we referred to it as a covenant. I believe it’s appropriate to end this covenant because none of us are moving forward with a traditional marriage anymore. I don’t want to be eternally bound to him if he doesn’t want me, and I’m at a point where we should completely separate these relationships.

Kody was hesitant about the notion, she mentioned, preferring not to recognize or submit to the power held by the religious leaders.

Kody expressed his position bluntly: “The harm is so extensive that we won’t be reconciling under any circumstances.” He further clarified, “Since our accountability lies with God, I don’t wish to answer to this church and its nonsense. Therefore, I’m going to allow Meri her freedom to act as she wishes because if I’m angry at her, it escalates into a conflict. frankly, I want her to leave because it’s been a long time since she realized our relationship is finished for years.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

2021’s holiday gift exchange conversation took an unpleasant turn for the 18 Brown children. As Christine put it, “Things fell apart, things went wrong.” The division was between Kody, Robyn, and their kids on one side, and Janelle, me, and our kids on the other. This text conversation led to a rift that occurred afterward.

From my perspective, my three elders expressed that our recent interaction felt emotionally uncomfortable for them and suggested a temporary pause in our relationship. However, it wasn’t about severing all ties or expressing disinterest altogether. Instead, they simply conveyed that things had become awkward, much like saying, “Hey, this has gotten slimy.

For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other. 

He openly shared during the October 13 episode that his deepest desire is to rebuild relationships with Robyn’s children once more. Back in middle school, Aurora was the person he enjoyed spending time with most. High school found him frequently trying to connect with Dayton. However, he isn’t optimistic about forming a relationship with their father and Robyn.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Aurora asserted that she was informed numerous times, by various individuals and different situations, that she wasn’t welcomed into the family upon Kody’s wedding in 2010. They never recognized her as a sister, and they never considered or perceived her in that role.

Her sister, Breanna, mentioned that she believed the parents might have made more effort to foster a stronger family bond, but this connection didn’t materialize effectively.

But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.

According to her, Robyn’s children and Robyn were always welcome everywhere; it was as if she was inviting them to drop by at any time, saying something like ‘Feel free to come into my home whenever you please.’

Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and Mykelti Brown Padron resided with them for a while: “There were challenging periods, and my kids felt irritated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s children as siblings just as dearly.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Speaking enthusiastically about the freedom it offers, Janelle expressed her view on polygamy as follows: “When it works well, you become an integral part of this fantastic family structure and are connected to a community that nurtures you. You have a husband and enjoy a deep connection with him, yet retain all your personal independence. To me, having multiple spouses was indeed a beneficial setup.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

According to Janelle, Kody found it more challenging to divide his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.

On the September 29 episode, it was observed that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it simpler to stay away. Occasionally, I had to remind him that he should visit my house instead of making excuses about being exhausted. She admitted, “You’re so tired. I say, ‘Well, you can rest just as well at my place as you can at Robyn’s.’

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

As a dedicated follower, I’d express it this way: “My children were often reprimanded for exploring my shared fridge with Robyn. For us, the problem wasn’t just that Robyn was dating our dad, but rather that they were a couple and he wasn’t physically present in our home.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide. 

She mentioned on September 29th that Meri was generally welcoming towards her and her children, but the rest of the family found it difficult to accept them. What they really desired was to become a part of this family.

However, Gabriel might contend that he and his other siblings made significant efforts to integrate them into their group.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn might be dealing with a victim mentality. To put it more straightforwardly, he was suggesting this. Now, I don’t mean to place blame on her for this. Instead, I think each person develops unique coping mechanisms to navigate their circumstances, and in Robyn’s case, it seems she has adopted a particular strategy to survive.

Yet, he went on to say, “If she truly thinks that we mistreated her or her children while she was being favored by Dad and we were focusing on building a bond with her kids, if that’s what she genuinely believes, then it’s impossible for me to maintain any relationship with Robyn.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

During a September 29 broadcast, Kody openly discussed how the constant movement between four households impacted his eighteen children. He shared a poignant moment when their youngest, Ariella (born in early 2016), clung to him desperately as he tried to depart, illustrating the emotional ties that have developed due to their family’s living situation.

Kody expressed it as, “I told her, ‘I have another wife and more children who need me, so I must go to them,’ but she clung to me, crying ‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy.’ It’s a tough situation for me.

Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle. 

She shared that right from the start, her children understood that their father wouldn’t be a constant presence. It seemed to her that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation with their children. He couldn’t stay away for more than three or four days due to Ari getting upset, which she felt was poor parenting. Throughout family history, the other children had managed similar situations and they turned out to be well-adjusted adults.

Among the scant number of children with a Brown surname, Mykelti maintained relationships not only with Robyn and Kody but also with Christine and Janelle. During Kody’s divorce proceedings, Mykelti served as a mediator or peacemaker.

From the very beginning when Robyn joined the Brown clan, Mykelti extended an invitation for her to be present at the delivery room during the November 2022 birth of her twins, Archer and Ace.

During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still discovering myself. Robyn made me feel valued and noticed, she was a source of comfort and understanding when I needed it most, and she listened to me, loved me when I needed someone to do so.

Christine was overjoyed beyond words when she saw how well Robyn and Mykelti got along. As Christine put it during the Oct. 6 episode, “Ever since I dreamt of having a multi-parent family, I’ve always wanted my children to have strong bonds with each other’s mothers. And that’s exactly what I’m seeing here.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

In my own words, I feel it’s not just my wives who have distanced themselves from me, but they are deliberately excluding me from their lives as a form of punishment for a crime I did not perpetrate. During the October 6th episode, I shared this perspective on my strained relationship with some of my older children. I am merely culpable for failing to fall deeply in love with their mothers.

What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame. 

He explained that the strained connection with his children was predominantly a mental issue for him, stemming from the negative chatter he had been exposed to. Essentially, he felt a cyclical wave of disillusionment due to the family’s separation, and it seemed as if he was being unfairly blamed for any shortcomings.

However, though he accepts some responsibility, he strongly objects to the insults. In particular, he confided that he had difficulty bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. Kody disclosed that one of his children replied to a text message by saying, “You are garbage. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.

In another occurrence, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You’re behaving badly. I will no longer speak to you. You’ve been deceiving and indoctrinating me.’

He’s unwilling to handle the venomous situation any longer. “I won’t keep extending a hand,” he stated, mentioning that he believes it’s time for the adults to step up and take action. “I’m ready to put forth the effort, but someone else needs to be willing to reciprocate and make an effort as well.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home. 

In her October 6th discussion, she shared that her parents divorced when she was very young. At that time, her father lived with another woman in a different city, while her mother lived on her own. She recalled a time when she asked him why he wasn’t around during her childhood, to which he offered weak explanations that didn’t make sense and left her feeling disappointed.

Instead of her directly stating that Kody’s hurt feelings wouldn’t deter him from trying, She made it clear that his feelings of hurt wouldn’t keep him from putting forth an effort. During their heated argument in late 2022, she expressed something along the lines of, “I find it difficult not to feel somewhat disrespected by you.

Kody admitted that he could be putting in more effort to repair his relationship with his children, but he stressed that he must heal his own heart first.

He openly admitted that some of his children seem to be conspiring against him, and he expressed deep frustration over the situation. He fears that if he interacts with his kids at this moment, they might provoke him with accusations which could further enrage him. As it stands, he’s too emotionally charged and could potentially exacerbate the problem instead of resolving it.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Despite many members of their family being present at Logan’s wedding to Michelle Petty in October 2022, there seemed to be a lack of affection or warmth among them.

In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed frustration to Robyn, saying he noticed Madison hurriedly taking her children away from him. He mentioned that his daughter had not informed him about her third pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their daughter Josephine in February 2023. Essentially, he was upset because she didn’t tell him she was expecting a child.

Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.

Janelle clarified that Maddie has no relationship with Kody because she’s extremely cautious about her children. Kody hasn’t seen the kids since Evie was born, who is now three-and-a-half. So, Maddie didn’t want him showing up at the wedding unexpectedly, claiming to be their grandfather, and the children getting confused about his identity.

Kody’s viewpoint is that it can be impractical for grandparents to always be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, as exemplified by Maddie living in North Carolina. Given that his kids are relocated to an entirely different coast, he has responsibilities and a lifestyle in Flagstaff that make constant involvement challenging.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

It seems evident that Kody and his grown-up kids hold contrasting perspectives regarding their current rift, with a key disagreement being Kody’s insistence on receiving an apology of some kind.

Following the end of the COVID pandemic, we resumed our usual routines, but there remained a rift within our family as Kody felt that his sons should apologize, particularly to Robyn. He expressed this sentiment in the October 13 episode, saying it eventually evolved into something where they simply needed to have a conversation with him.

In essence, Janelle expressed that Kody felt his children hadn’t been faithful to him, adding, “and the person who has given her all to this family, pouring out her heart and soul, has been treated disrespectfully or unfairly in some way.” She concluded by saying, “‘Whatever, Kody. Yeah, whatever.’

Gabriel expressed a comparable viewpoint when he recounted his discussion with his father. “He continually put it as if I owed him an apology,” he told Janelle. “Finally, I just said, ‘Hey, unless you’re genuinely prepared to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t speak anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He wrote, ‘Hey, I’ve been considering what you’ve been saying. I forgive you, Please forgive me.’ I responded, ‘Forgive me for what?’

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Out of his six children with Janelle, Kody primarily interacts with their youngest daughter, Savanah. He doesn’t get together with them often, but approximately every two months they speak on the phone and occasionally go out as he mentioned in the October 13 episode. The rest of their children don’t seem to have much interaction or connection with him.

Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, she perceives her four elder brothers as assuming a paternal role. In fact, Savannah has shared with Janelle her intention of involving her siblings when the time comes for her to walk down the aisle.

According to Janelle, she discussed the matter with Savanah, and Savanah expressed, ‘Well, it seems clear to me now that this is his nature.’ She explained, ‘He’ll likely be the kind of father who joins us for fun times and then leaves. I can understand him as he is. It’s alright.’

Janelle, however, is less forgiving. 

Speaking from personal experience as someone who’s closely observed such situations, I can’t help but feel exasperated by Kody’s behavior. Unfortunately, I’ve witnessed this pattern before; many women I’ve collaborated with over the years have divorced and found themselves struggling to maintain a relationship with their children’s father afterwards.

Pregnant Sister Wives Star Madison Brush Reveals Sex of Baby No. 4

Initially, when the estrangement between them occurred, Gabriel found it particularly tough as Kody often invited Gabriel along during his work travels, emphasizing that Kody had been a highly involved father until quite recently, according to Janelle’s account.

Although Gabriel is puzzled about why his actions upset his father, during the October 13th episode, he expressed, “I told Dad that if he doesn’t change and can’t admit fault, then I’ll never visit him again. And I’m completely at peace with that choice.

In her own words, she expressed that he finds comfort in the absence of his father in his life. And truthfully, it’s a sentiment I wish for all my children as well, and I sense they are all growing towards this point.

For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation. 

In a private moment, I expressed my sincere regret for how Gabriel seems to be feeling. I’ve made numerous attempts to connect with him, but unfortunately, these efforts haven’t been reciprocated. However, let me assure you, it’s not due to any lack of effort on my side.

In simple terms, Meri was probably the one who left Kody last, but it wasn’t until late 2022 that they officially ended their relationship. This separation occurred when she sought and obtained what their church refers to as a “release,” citing abandonment as the reason.

She observed during the October 13 broadcast that he dislikes that particular word since he doesn’t believe he left her. Instead, she feels he did so.

To be honest, she believes he paid little attention to her until her decision to depart was made, which allowed him to claim innocence by saying “I had no part in it.

And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy. 

He admitted that he had already moved on a while back, but in all fairness, he was nervous about her reaction if he ended things abruptly. The reason for his apprehension was Meri’s lack of loyalty towards him throughout their relationship. This fear stemmed from the concern about what others might think after a divorce, as it often affects one’s reputation negatively.

Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished. 

In a heartfelt manner, I must express my disappointment at how Kody is portraying our marriage. It seems his perspective on our relationship has shifted, yet the allegations he’s making about me to others simply aren’t accurate. Sadly, it appears that many are accepting these untruths as fact.

Prior to the time when Christina parted ways with Kody, it became apparent to her that they were not a suitable couple based on their compatibility, which was revealed through an activity suggested by their marriage therapist in Las Vegas.

Christine outlined the characteristics she desired in a partner, specifying that she wanted someone who communicates well, is involved in her and their children’s lives, and finds her attractive. However, Kody didn’t possess any of these qualities, as she disclosed on the Oct. 20 episode, stating, “He’s not any of those things for me,” when presented with the list, to which he responded, “I’m not any of those things for you.

The letter played a significant role in helping her realize swiftly that David Woolley was indeed her match.

She enthusiastically shared that family means everything to the single father of eight, who owns his own drywall company. Known for his sincerity and authenticity, he is also an excellent communicator.
