Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

As a seasoned observer of human dynamics, I find the lives of the Brown family members to be both intriguing and heartbreaking. Each one seems to be grappling with their own unique set of challenges, yet they all share a common thread – the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.


Janelle Brown is moving forward.

In simpler terms, the TV personality from ‘Sister Wives’ is discussing their exploration of potential properties in North Carolina with Madison Brown (one of Kody Brown’s daughters) and her spouse, Caleb Brown.

In a special preview for TopMob News on the upcoming November 24th episode of Sister Wives, Janelle reveals to Christine Brown that it’s a farm. She adds that Caleb can continue his current job, which is beneficial since the farm is just an hour from where they currently reside.

However, there’s still one wrinkle in Janelle’s plans—Coyote Pass.

As a committed follower, I’m sharing that part of the Coyote Pass property in Arizona, which we previously co-owned with my former spouses, has an outstanding balance to be fully paid off.

“Kody says he had, he’s gonna have the money,” Janelle tells Christine. “It’s due in two months.”

Additionally, it’s been made clear that Janelle is keen on leaving the shared property with her former partner, Robyn Brown.

Janelle explains that she asked Kody to purchase her share,” she says, “and his response was, ‘I’m sorry, but I don’t currently have the funds.’

Regarding her latest endeavor on the North Carolina farm, Janelle prefers to exclude Kody from this project.

In her private conversation, she mentions that she hasn’t discussed the topic of North Carolina with him. She feels no compulsion to tell him about it since he won’t be a part of that phase of her life.

Janelle previously opened up about her farm and plans for the future in October.

She shared with TopMob News that her long-held ambition has been to own the property. She also expressed that they will likely concentrate on cultivating flowers, as it brings much happiness.

Regarding this phase in her life, Janelle expressed, “I believe it’s more like a period of refreshment or renewal. There are quite a few thrilling developments with my new relationship, and I’m in the process of designing an entirely new lifestyle for myself.

Sister Wives airs Sunday, Nov. 24 at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

Kody Brown expressed his readiness to part ways with his first wife, Meri Brown, soon after their marriage in 1990. However, as he stated, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a chance for us to start anew,” suggesting that things would improve between them. This is a pattern that Kody has repeated for many years, according to Meri’s words during the September 15 premiere, hinting at past promises left unfulfilled.

She expressed her primary concern as being his poor communication, including his feelings, desires, and even things he doesn’t want; she also mentioned the inconsistencies in the narrative he has been sharing over the years.

Kody admitted that his actions might have sent conflicting signals, but as he got involved with various tasks, he found himself questioning the reasons for doing so. Put simply, he clarified that he wouldn’t 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 with you, we’re on your side. And it’s high time,'” she confessed. Removing her blinkers, she now believes that he had been subtly encouraging her to part ways for years by denying his love for her, “Since if he could make me depart and I do, then he’s not the villain because he didn’t leave himself.

In the season premiere, Kody admitted that several years after the family bought a 14-acre plot of land in Flagstaff, Ariz., with intentions to build on it, he was ready to let the dream fade away. As they hadn’t yet paid off the full $820,000 cost (reportedly settled in 2023), he suggested to his remaining wife, Robyn Brown, that either they abandon the project or sell it and start anew somewhere else.

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

Previously, Janelle Brown expressed to TopMob News that our relationship was gradually drifting apart. However, it was the inconsistencies in Kody’s parenting responsibilities towards some of our children that ultimately led her to decide to part ways.

“The turning point for me occurred when his relationship with my kids fell apart and it seemed like he wasn’t willing to go to great lengths to mend it. At that moment, I realized that was the main reason keeping me here.

In the November 3rd episode, any suggestion from Kody about reconciliation was firmly off-limits for Janelle.

She stated that it seems impossible for her to make amends with him in such a way that he wouldn’t be excluded from their lives, and her decision is clear: she will prioritize her children above all else.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Kody had offered this reasoning for why he wasn’t putting in extra effort to repair the strained relationships with some of his grown children: he chose not to exert himself more on the matter.

In the September 15th episode, he expressed his feelings as no longer belonging in the family unit. Despite being legally married to Robyn and co-parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he felt distant from some of the other kids and struggled to find his place due to infrequent interaction, saying, “It doesn’t feel like a family.

Even though they’ve finally embarked on their first true monogamous phase after 14 years together, Robyn admitted in the season premiere that their marriage is currently struggling more than ever. “It’s been tough between us,” she explained. “He doesn’t know who to blame – himself or one of the other wives. Kody feels a lot of rejection right now and I think he’s worried that I might reject him too.

Consequently, she disclosed, “I’m constantly vigilant. I need to ensure he isn’t undermining our relationship.” The most challenging aspect, she concluded: “There are no resources available to help with the notion that I’m still wedded to a man who’s going through multiple divorces.

Meanwhile, Kody was grappling with a wave of self-doubt, expressing, “I find it hard to stand before a mirror and tell myself sincerely, ‘Hey there, friend. I adore you.’

For Robyn, it was challenging to see her ex-sister wives advancing into their latest phase. As she put it in the October 27 episode, “Everyone’s moving forward,” which made her feel as if she were the one who had been overlooked or forgotten.

Include Madison, Janelle’s eldest child, in the list of kids who are currently not in a relationship with Kody. As revealed during the premiere, “Maddie hasn’t had any contact with her father,” Janelle said. “Neither has he reached out to her, nor has she contacted him. She doesn’t have any connections with either Kody or Robin at this point. In essence, she has cut them both off.

Janelle pointed out that Kody’s relationship with Maddie’s children, specifically Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine, appears to be lackluster. She expressed that Kody should only interact with them if he is prepared to fully commit to it.

Consequently, during the September 22 episode, Kody apparently stopped communicating with Maddie and her spouse, Caleb Brush, when the family began to disintegrate significantly.

Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as stated by Janelle. She has felt that until he can be reliable and present without causing a scene, it might be best if they keep his existence hidden from them.

Moreover, Robyn mentioned that she’s been motivating Kody to repair their relationship, but she also added, “It seems appropriate for the children to take similar steps as well.

Currently, Kody appears unwilling to mend the rift as he’s been complaining that each conversation with his daughter only seemed to serve as a source of gossip, which he found exhausting.

During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that Kody had implied he never truly loved her and felt compelled to marry her. However, Meri responded by saying, “‘Kody,’ I said, ‘I knew you did love me.’

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

When a solitary young man encounters a solitary young woman, why would he decide to marry her without feeling genuine affection, instead claiming to grow that love over the subsequent 32 years? Seems rather heartless, doesn’t it? To single me out from many others and then say, ‘I choose you with the intention of trying to manufacture love'” she pondered.

In his private thoughts, Kody mentioned that Meri is making certain allegations. Well, let her say whatever pleases her. I choose not to respond to them.

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

On the October 20th episode, he emphatically stated that their marriage was in trouble from the very start, adding, “I had a much stronger connection with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.

He acknowledged that he “ought to have ended the relationship two and a half decades back,” yet he persisted due to fear, pointing out, “Authority figures would never permit remarriage if you’re casting off spouses.

Despite being unsure whether to develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, Janelle acknowledged that the first move was to settle the Arizona property debt. With Kody refusing to discuss the matter, she expressed her concerns to Christine Brown in the September 22 episode, stating, “It seems I might need a lawyer’s help.” This is because I believe that’s the only way I can possibly get any decision out of him.

In simpler terms, Janelle admitted that since there is no legal marriage with Kody, she has no right to make any kind of claim on his property. She explained, “It’s not as easy as just calling a lawyer and getting a divorce. It’s complex because there’s no legal marriage in the first place.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Kody explained that he had stopped discussing the Arizona property with Janelle because he no longer felt she was trustworthy.

He stated during the September 22 episode that he would settle the property when necessary, and he didn’t want to share specifics about his actions or anything else because he’s weary of sharing details that get distorted by the rumor mill within our fractured family.

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

She mentioned, “He shares everything as if he’s got a loose tap, like a faucet.” She confided, “I learned details about his past relationships and multiple wives, which made me feel uncomfortable, thinking it wasn’t appropriate for him to disclose that to me.

In days gone by, when the family’s affection was still growing stronger instead of weakening, they would combine their savings in a single collection.

In my explanation during our September 22 broadcast, I shared that we would exhaust every resource to aid one individual, and then collectively stand behind another. This has been our tradition until the last decade or so. However, now it seems like it’s more about personal wealth and everyone wanting their own estate.

Oh my goodness, when I heard that Robyn needed a place in Arizona, I just had to be part of the team that made it happen! We banded together and managed to snag her a stunning $1.65 million five-bedroom abode – it was listed for sale back in August. I can hardly contain my excitement thinking about it!

Initially, Robyn expressed that acquiring the property would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that they all share the mortgage responsibility, her suggestion was turned down. Kody responded by saying, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, protect Robyn’s estate,” as Janelle remembered. Now that she’s moving away from the family, Janelle mentioned that she wants her fair share of the Coyote Pass earnings and also wishes to recover some of the money she invested in Robyn’s house.

But that could be a tough sell. 

Robyn remarked, “After all this time working side by side, it’s perplexing to me.” And when Janelle mentioned she was due money from them, Robyn expressed, “I just can’t wrap my head around it. How do you even begin to calculate or determine that? It’s such a puzzle.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Janelle expressed her frustration over the family’s struggle to repay Coyote Pass, stating that Kody often mentioned having numerous other financial obligations. However, she has observed him purchasing trailers and home decorations which seems contradictory. She added, “I notice all the artwork adorning their walls,” referring to Robyn and Kody’s house. “I see all these possessions. And I get it, I too have spent money on things.” (In his defense, Kody argued that most of his funds were invested in cars—”essentially a fleet”—and insurance for the children.)

Janelle admitted that she had been puzzled about how Kody and Robyn managed their finances, but she often found herself marveling at the beauty of Robyn’s backyard, which was always impeccably finished. Moreover, there was always an abundance of items at Robyn’s house, causing Janelle to exclaim, ‘Wow! That’s interesting.’

Essentially, she expressed that he failed to make her needs and desires a priority, which over time became increasingly apparent not only to her but also to her grown children who grew frustrated, exclaiming something along the lines of, “What’s going on, Mom?

In Robyn’s opinion, she became quite meticulous about managing her finances following the breakdown of her first marriage.

She confided during the September 22 episode that she hadn’t always been good with finances. Growing up, she experienced some tough times, and it was only during her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. In reference to her fellow sister wives, she noted that they likely prioritized their money differently than she did.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Currently, as revealed in the September 22 episode, Janelle stated that although she and Meri, Robyn, and Kody (parents of Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown) often gather with their families, there is little to no contact between them. She doesn’t anticipate this situation changing significantly in the near future.

Kody fondly recalled the period when four homes on a single cul-de-sac in Las Vegas represented the high point of his life. He expressed that everything was running smoothly, with Maddie and Caleb nearby, making it an enjoyable experience. He also mentioned that he deeply appreciated Caleb, considering him as family.

In Arizona, disagreements arose concerning COVID-19 safety measures, causing a deterioration of the situation. He later shared that the dissolution of his marriages led to strained connections with his children, as he put it, “This caused all our relationships to turn sour.

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

She mentioned during the September 22nd broadcast that the kids who appeared frustrated had been feeling that way long before she departed. It seems their feelings towards Kody weren’t affected by her leaving, suggesting that he has the ability to mend his relationships with his children.

Though it’ll definitely take some work. 

Kody shared, “I’ve been deeply hurt by the way I’ve been treated, and it’s left me struggling to move past it. To be clear, I’m not willing to accept blame for actions my wife or ex-wife claims I took. I can only hope that with time, our resentment will fade and we can find a path towards forgiveness and love again.

At the age of 21 and 19, Kody and Meri had little familiarity with each other when they got married, both spiritually and legally. They later decided to file for divorce in 2014 so that Kody could officially adopt Robyn’s three oldest children from her previous marriage. (Their union eventually ended in divorce.)

When we tied the knot, Meri seemed distinctly different to me, and I suspect there were some issues from her past that I wasn’t aware of. At first, I believed I could cope with these differences. However, our relationship was filled with constant arguments, and I found it impossible to live in a state of perpetual anger directed towards me.

Despite his desire to depart, he found himself unable to do so. Kody, in a polygamous union, stated, “If he wishes to remain loyal and devoted, he can’t seek a divorce. It’s forbidden. Consequently, I couldn’t escape from that relationship. Yet, it wasn’t that I yearned to depart from the relationship. I wanted to explore if we could salvage and repair it.

Consequently, he admitted that Meri was under the impression they would resolve their issues. However, as they spent time together, Kody stated that “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t entertaining, she wasn’t compassionate, she wasn’t engaging. I try 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.”

Despite the fact that neither Janelle nor Christine viewed divorce as necessary since their union wasn’t legally recognized, it was Meri who petitioned their church for an official separation, referred to as a “release,” towards the end of 2022.

In the September 22nd episode, she clarified that all four of us had been spiritually married to Kody through our church. Since it’s impossible for more than one person to be legally married to him, we referred to this as a covenant. Given that we aren’t planning any future marriages and I don’t want to be eternally bound to him if he doesn’t feel the same, I believe it’s best to end this spiritual union entirely.

Kody was hesitant about the idea, she noted, as she didn’t feel comfortable accepting the leadership of the church officials.

Kody stated that the harm was so extensive that reconciliation is no longer an option. Instead, he wishes to be answerable only to God, not the church or its rules. As a result, he plans to allow Meri to pursue her own path since maintaining anger towards her would lead to conflict. He feels it’s best for her to move on because she’s taken too long to accept that their relationship is long over.

Last year’s holiday gift exchange conversation took an unpleasant turn for the 18 Brown family members, as I personally experienced. “Things fell apart, things went wrong,” Christine summarized the situation. “Kody and Robyn, along with their children, stood on one side, seemingly intent on excluding Janelle, myself, and our kids. The divide emerged following this text conversation thread.

In Robyn’s opinion, her three eldest children felt the conversation was uncomfortable and they required some distance from their relationship. However, it wasn’t a matter of not wanting to see or communicate with her again; rather, it was simply expressing that the situation had become unpleasant for them.

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

“The thing I want most is to just have a relationship with Robyn’s children again,” he confessed in the Oct. 13 episode. “In middle school, Aurora was my favorite person to hang out with. And in high school, I would always try to hit Dayton up. But I’m, I’m not hopeful for a relationship with Dad And Robyn.”

Aurora asserted that she was informed, on various occasions and by different individuals, that she wasn’t welcomed into the family when her mother married Kody in 2010. She claimed they never recognized her as a sister, and she wasn’t part of their perception or understanding.

Breanna mentioned that she believed their parents might have made more effort to strengthen our family bond, but unfortunately, that never materialized.

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

Robyn’s children and Robyn were always invited to every event,” she emphasized. “In other words, they are more than welcome to drop by our home whenever they please.

Simultaneously, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children, and in fact, Mykelti Brown Padron lived with them for a while. She explained, “Difficult times did arise, and my kids felt frustrated at times, but they regarded Robyn’s children as their siblings just the same.

Speaking enthusiastically about plural marriages, Janelle expressed her viewpoint as follows: “In ideal circumstances, plural marriage offers an extraordinary family structure where you belong to a remarkable community. You have a husband and enjoy a wonderful relationship with him, yet retain all your personal freedom. To me, this setup in plural marriage is truly exceptional.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

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

On the September 29th episode, it was noted that when Kody relocated to Flagstaff, he found it simpler to be apart from others. Occasionally, I had to remind him to visit me since he would often make excuses about being tired. She disclosed that she would respond, “You’re very tired? Well, you can rest just as comfortably at my house as you can at Robyn’s.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Janelle expressed that her children were made aware of being separate from Robyn by being reprimanded if they dared to open her refrigerator. For Christine’s kids, the challenge stemmed from observing that Robyn was in a relationship with their father, but he wasn’t present at their home.

And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide. 

As she confided during the September 29 broadcast, Meri warmly embraced my children and me, but the rest of the family found it hard to accept us. To our heart’s desire, we yearned to be included in their family circle.

However, Gabriel might contend that he and his kin made considerable efforts to welcome them into their group.

In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn might be struggling with a perceived victimhood, to put it plainly. He didn’t place blame on her but rather sympathized, understanding that various individuals develop unique coping mechanisms to stay afloat in life.

Yet, he went on to say, “If she genuinely thinks that we were somehow unfair or harsh towards her or her children, despite the fact she was always favored by Dad and we were consistently nurturing our bond with her kids, if she truly believes this, then I can’t possibly have a relationship with Robyn in the future.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

During a September 29 broadcast, Kody disclosed how the frequent transitions between four homes affected his eighteen children, recalling an instance when his and Robyn’s youngest daughter, Ariella (born in January 2016), became emotionally attached to him, refusing to let him go as he was about to depart.

In his own words, Kody stated, “I had to tell her, ‘There’s another woman who needs me, another mother. I have other children who need my presence,'” expressing the difficulty he faced as she clung to him and cried, “‘Don’t abandon me, Daddy, don’t abandon me.'” He found it tough to deal with this situation.

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

Initially, she shared, her children understood that their father wouldn’t be a constant presence. I’ve often thought that Kody and Robyn mishandled the situation regarding her children. He couldn’t stay away for more than three or four days due to Ari getting upset. To me, it seemed like an instance of inadequate parenting. Throughout family history, the other kids have handled such absences and they’ve turned out to be well-adjusted adults.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Among the rare group of children from the Brown family, Mykelti was one who remained connected with Robyn, Kody, and also Christine and Janelle. In the midst of Kody’s divorce proceedings, Mykelti often acted as a mediator or peacemaker within their relationships.

From the very start, Mykelti bonded closely with Robyn when she joined the Brown clan. In fact, Mykelti extended an invitation for Robyn to be present at the delivery of her twins, Archer and Ace, in November 2022.

During the September 29th episode, Mykelti shared that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still trying to discover myself. Robyn made me feel valued and understood, she was someone I could rely on. When I needed support, she was there. When I needed someone to listen, to care for me, Robyn was the one.

Christine’s mother couldn’t have been happier. “Ever since Robyn joined our family and it was clear that she and Mykelti shared a strong bond, it exceeded all my expectations,” Christine expressed during the Oct. 6 episode. “When I dreamt of having a multi-parent household, I hoped my children would forge wonderful relationships with other mothers.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Kody expressed that it seems as though his wives have intentionally cut him out of their lives as a form of retribution for a crime he didn’t commit. In the October 6 episodes, he shared this perspective on why some of his older children have distanced themselves from him. He believes he is only to blame for not being deeply in love with the mothers of these children.

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

He mentioned that the strain in his relationships with his kids primarily stems from negative comments, stating, “It’s the chatter in my head, the blame game.” He further explained, “The aftermath of our family splitting up has left me feeling disillusioned, and it seems as though people are pointing fingers at me, saying, ‘He’s the one who messed up.’

While I acknowledge a portion of the responsibility, I strongly object to the derogatory remarks. In fact, I openly express my difficulties in bonding with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel. To illustrate this, one of my children replied to a text message by stating, “You are worthless. I wouldn’t talk to you again regardless.

In another occurrence, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You’re behaving poorly. I won’t speak to you anymore. You’ve deceived me and indoctrinated me.’

He expressed that he won’t continue to address the issue without reciprocal effort: “I can’t keep reaching out,” he stated, implying that he believes others should take more responsibility for resolving matters. “I’m ready to contribute my part,” he added, “but it’s essential someone else steps up and does their share as well.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

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

In her conversation on October 6th, she shared that when she was young, her parents went through a divorce. This meant that her father lived with another woman in a different city, while her mother lived alone. She recalled a time when she questioned him about why he wasn’t around during her childhood, to which he offered weak explanations that left her feeling disappointed.

Instead of letting Kody’s wounded feelings hinder his efforts, it seemed she was determined to push through. During their heated confrontation captured on camera at the end of 2022, she expressed, “I find myself struggling not to lose a bit of respect for you.

As a dedicated follower, I recognize that there’s room for improvement in my relationship with my children, but I firmly believe that I must first heal my own heart before I can effectively bridge the gap.

He expressed his frustration by stating, “Some of my children seem to be conspiring against me. I’m so furious about the situation that when I interact with them, I fear they might accuse me, which could make me even angrier. At this moment, I’m too emotionally volatile and may only exacerbate the problem further.

Despite many members of their family being present at Logan Brownson (Kody’s eldest son with Janelle) and Michelle Petty’s wedding in October 2022, it seemed that there wasn’t much affection or warmth present among them.

In the October 6th episode, I voiced my concern to Robyn about how Madison hurriedly withdrew her children from my presence. Remarkably, my daughter hadn’t shared with me that she was expecting her third child, Josephine, who arrived in February 2023. I was taken aback as I wasn’t aware of her pregnancy.

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

Janelle clarified that Maddie avoids Kody because of their family dynamic, as he hasn’t been around since Evie was born, who is now three-and-a-half. Maddie wants to shield her children from unexpected encounters with him, so they wouldn’t be confused about his identity.

Kody expressed that it’s impractical to expect grandparents to constantly be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, given the situation of Maddie living in North Carolina, especially when moving children to a completely different coast. He mentioned that he has commitments and a lifestyle in Flagstaff.

As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself reflecting on the challenging dynamics between Kody and his grown-up offspring, who seem to harbor vastly disparate perspectives regarding their current estrangement. One aspect that appears to be causing tension is his insistence on receiving an apology, or in simpler terms, acknowledgment of wrongdoings.

Following the end of the COVID-19 crisis, we returned to our usual routines, but our family was unable to heal. Kody expressed that his sons should apologize, particularly to Robyn, for some past actions. He explained in the Oct. 13 episode that it evolved into this requirement, and essentially, they just needed to have a conversation with him.

Janelle explained that Kody was upset because he felt his children hadn’t been loyal to him, adding, “and the most cherished member of our family who has poured her heart and soul into this family has been disregarded or something like that.” She responded, “‘Well, Kody. Whatever you say.’

Gabriel expressed a similar perspective when he narrated his interaction with his father. “He repeatedly implied that I needed to apologize,” he told Janelle. “After some time, I responded, ‘Unless you’re genuinely ready to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t converse anymore.’ A few days later, he messaged me back. He said, ‘Hey, I’ve been contemplating your words. I forgive you, Please accept my forgiveness.’ I replied, ‘Forgive me for what?’

Out of his six children with Janelle, Kody only maintains a relationship with his youngest, Savanah, albeit infrequently. He calls her every couple of months and they occasionally go out together, as explained by Janelle in the October 13 episode. The rest of their children do not have much of a connection with him.

In my case, having graduated from high school in 2023, I find myself leaning on my four older brothers for guidance and support, much like a parental figure. I shared with my friend, Janelle, that I envision one of them accompanying me during a future walk down the aisle.

According to Janelle, she discussed the matter with Savanah and Savanah said, “You see, I’ve come to understand that this is his nature.” She continued, “He will be the type of father who will join us for fun times but then leave. I can accept him as he is. It’s alright.

Janelle, however, is less forgiving. 

She expressed her frustration towards Kody, saying, ‘I can’t help but feel exasperated.’ You see, throughout my career, I’ve observed a pattern. Many women I’ve collaborated with have gone through divorces, only for the children to be left abandoned by their fathers.

In the initial stage of their conflict, “Gabriel found it particularly tough as Kody often invited Gabriel along during his work travels,” explained Janelle, stating that Kody had been an actively involved father until recent times.

During the October 13th episode, Gabriel expressed his confusion about what might have upset his father, stating, “If my father refuses to change or accept responsibility, I’ve decided I won’t see him anymore. And I’m content with that choice.

In her own words, she expressed that he finds comfort knowing his father isn’t part of his life. Furthermore, she aspires this situation for all her children, and it seems they are gradually understanding this sentiment.

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

He expressed regret over how Gabriel felt, sharing his sentiment in a private moment. Despite making repeated attempts to reach out to him, Gabriel had declined each time, but not due to any lack of effort on his part.

Sister Wives’ Janelle Brown Keeps Kody in the Dark About New Property

Meri Brown, one of Kody’s wives, was the last to separate from him. However, they legally ended their relationship in late 2022, with Meri seeking and obtaining what their church refers to as a “release,” based on the claim of desertion.

On the October 13th episode, she pointed out that he dislikes that specific word since he believes he didn’t leave her. Instead, she feels as if he did.

Indeed, I found myself feeling overlooked by him for quite some time. It wasn’t until I chose to part ways that it seemed as though he was eager to declare, “I have no responsibility in this matter.

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

He shared his thoughts in a candid moment, admitting that he had moved on long ago. However, he was hesitant to confront her due to fear of her reactions.
