Reflecting on the situation, it seems that each member of this family is navigating their own unique challenges and struggles. Janelle, being a strong and independent woman, has made the bold decision to distance herself from her father if he refuses to change or take accountability for his actions. This choice reflects her maturity and self-respect, as she prioritizes her peace of mind over familial ties that are toxic or unhealthy.
Janelle Brown is soaking up special time with her eldest daughter Madison Brush.
The star from “Sister Wives” delayed wishing Maddie a happy 29th birthday on social platforms, but it was justified.
Hey Madison_Rose11! A day late, I know, but the fun we had together on your special day was unstoppable. I couldn’t bear to interrupt the celebration to write this. Truth be told, it’s been a while since I celebrated a birthday with you, and I must say, it was truly a delight!
The TLC celebrity affectionately referred to the expecting mother of three as “an exceptional spouse, parent, daughter, and business associate.” He further clarified that the photo featuring them both in bright orange safety vests was taken on their newly-acquired land, which happened to be during hunting season.
Following her separation from ex-husband Kody Brown, Janelle, along with daughter Maddie and son-in-law Caleb Brush, have recently joined forces to establish a business together – Taeda Farms. This venture will be featured in future episodes of the series “Sister Wives”.
Janelle shared with TopMob News in October that her family – which includes her daughter and son-in-law – recently bought property in North Carolina. She expressed excitement about turning this long-held dream into reality, and mentioned their plans to focus primarily on cultivating flowers due to the happiness they bring.
As a lifestyle expert, I myself maintain two homes – one in the vibrant landscape of Flagstaff, Arizona, and another in North Carolina. The reason behind this strategic choice is to be in close proximity to my cherished family members, Maddie, Caleb, and their three wonderful children: energetic Axel Brush, age 7; adorable Evie Brush, who’s all of 5 years old; and sweet Josephine Brush, our youngest at just 19 months.
Apart from her birthday, Maddie also has another significant event to celebrate – she recently shared the news of expecting her fourth child.
Janelle praised Maddie to TopMob News, saying “She’s been an amazing mom.” She then added, “I suggested that they could have more children if they wished, but Maddie replied, ‘No, Mom. Four is perfect.’
Meanwhile, Janelle continues to be a part of Maddie’s life and that of her grandchildren, but Kody has grown apart from the Brush family.
In a recent episode of “Sister Wives,” Kody expressed his belief that his former wives are intentionally excluding him from their lives as a form of punishment, despite the fact that he maintains a relationship with only one wife, Robyn Brown. This, according to Kody, is because he didn’t develop a deep romantic love for their mothers. Interestingly, it was Madison who overheard a conversation between Kody and Janelle where Kody mentioned not loving her, as she had been told by Kody that he doesn’t have strong feelings for her.
After Janelle pointed out that Kody hadn’t met his grandkids for three years since the episode was filmed in 2022, he expressed in his personal reflection that it’s not realistic to expect grandparents to be constantly present in their grandchildren’s lives, particularly when one moves their children to a completely different coast.
For more bombshells from this season of Sister Wives, read on.
Kody Brown expressed his readiness to separate from his first wife, Meri Brown, shortly after their 1990 wedding. However, as he put it, “Meri, when we move to Flagstaff, this will be a chance for us to start anew.” This was what he had led her to believe, according to Meri during the Sept. 15 premiere, hinting at their 2018 relocation. “He’s given me false hope for many years, implying things would change,” she added.
She expressed her primary concern as his inconsistent communication, including his feelings, desires, and dislikes, along with the narrative he’s maintained over the years.
Kody admitted that his actions might have sent confusing signals, but as he began to tackle tasks, he found himself questioning, “What’s the point?” He clarified that he wouldn’t pursue a romantic relationship with her at this moment.
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, offering support. It’s long overdue,'” she confessed. Now that her eyes were open, she realized that he had been trying to prompt her to depart for years by claiming he didn’t love her, “Since if he could make me leave and I do, he wouldn’t be the villain because he didn’t walk away.
Several years following their acquisition of a 14-acre property in Flagstaff, Ariz., intended for construction, Kody admitted during the season premiere that he was prepared to see the dream fade away. Due to financial constraints, they were unable to construct without fully settling the $820,000 purchase price (reportedly paid off in 2023). Addressing his remaining spouse, Robyn Brown, Kody expressed a preference for either abandoning the project or selling it and starting 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 the relationship between them had been gradually fading, but eventually, it was Kody’s shortcomings in his role as a parent to some of their children that served as the primary reason for her decision to depart.
“The moment that truly made me realize it was time for a change was when his relationship with our children fell apart, and it seemed like he wasn’t willing to go to great lengths to mend it.” She added, “At that point, I realized that was what had been keeping me here all along.
Even when Kody broached the idea of reconciling in the Nov. 3 episode, it was a non-negotiable for Janelle.
In my perspective, finding a way to coexist peacefully with him while ensuring he maintains no bond with my children isn’t something I see happening. Instead, I am committed to prioritizing my kids above all else.
Kody provided an account for why he didn’t make a greater effort to heal the strained relationships he had with some of his grown-up kids.
In the Sept. 15 episode, he expressed his feelings of not belonging within the family anymore. Despite being legally married to Robyn and co-parenting their five children – Dayton Brown, Aurora Brown, Breanna Brown, Solomon Brown, and Ariella Brown – he also maintained some connections with a few other children, albeit infrequently. Feeling lost amidst this situation, he wondered, “What’s my role here? It doesn’t seem like a family.
Even though they were genuinely monogamous for the first time in their 14-year marriage during this period, Robyn admitted in the season 19 premiere that things between them were at an all-time low. “It’s been difficult for us,” she said. “Kody doesn’t know whether to blame himself or one of his other wives. He feels a lot of rejection and I think he’s worried that I might reject him too.
As a consequence, she disclosed that she’s always vigilant and constantly checking to ensure he isn’t undermining our relationship. In her own words, the most challenging aspect is that there are no resources available to guide me through the experience of being married to a man who is going through multiple divorces.
Meanwhile, Kody found himself grappling with a wave of self-doubt, expressing, “I just can’t bring myself to tell my reflection, ‘Hi there, buddy. I adore you.’
In the October 27 episode, Robyn expressed that it was difficult for her to see her ex-sister wives thriving in their new phase, remarking, “They’re all progressing,” she said. “I feel like I’m the one who is being left behind.
Include Madison, Janelle’s eldest child, in the list of kids who are currently estranged from Kody. As Janelle clarified during the premiere, “Maddie hasn’t spoken to her father,” she said. “He hasn’t called, she hasn’t called him, and there is no relationship between them at the moment. Essentially, she has cut both of them off.
Janelle pointed out that Kody’s relationship with Maddie’s children, Axel, Evangalynn, and Josephine, is not fully committed: “She prefers he only has contact if he’s willing to make a firm commitment.
In my latest sharing during our September 22 broadcast, I mentioned that there had been a significant disconnect in communication between Maddie and her husband, Caleb Brush, and me. This gap occurred as our family unit began to fracture severely.
Without Kody being around or reaching out, Maddie has taken on a very protective role, as expressed by Janelle. She feels that until he becomes more reliable, shows up consistently without causing unnecessary drama, it might be best for them not to know much about him.
Additionally, Robyn mentioned that she’s been urging Kody to make amends, she also added, “It seems only fair that the children extend their own efforts towards reconciliation as well.
Currently, Kody appears unwilling to mend the divide, expressing frustration that each conversation with his daughter seemed more like fishing for gossip rather than a genuine exchange, leaving him feeling exhausted.
During their 32nd anniversary celebration, Meri confided in her friend Brandi that “He hinted at not having ever truly loved me and feeling compelled to marry me.” She replied, “‘Kody’, I said, ‘I understand that 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 individual encounters another single youth, it seems unusual that he would decide to marry her without feeling genuine affection first. Instead of choosing her, wouldn’t it be more kind to say, ‘I choose you, but let us grow together and learn to cherish each other over the next 32 years?’
In a private reflection, Kody noted that Meri is making certain allegations. He’s okay with her saying whatever she chooses. He won’t be responding to those claims.
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 start, and he claimed to have had stronger relationships with Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
He acknowledged that he “should have ended the relationship twenty-five years back,” however, he continued it due to fear, pointing out, “Authority figures would never permit remarriage if one is disposing of spouses.
Despite being unsure whether to develop Coyote Pass or just sell it, Janelle acknowledged that the first move was settling the Arizona property debt. With Kody unresponsive about the matter, she admitted her frustration to ex-sister wife Christine Brown, saying, “I believe I’ll need a lawyer.” She added, “That seems like the only way I can possibly get any kind of resolution from him.
Janelle admitted that since she and Kody are not legally married, she has no right to make any kind of claim on his property. In her own words, “It’s not as simple as calling a lawyer to file for divorce. The situation is more complex because there is no legal marriage between us.
Kody explained that he chose not to discuss the Arizona property with Janelle because he had lost trust in her.
He made it clear during the September 22 episode that he will settle the property matter when necessary. He also mentioned that he prefers not to share any details about his actions, as he is weary of information being spread by our fractured family’s rumor mill.
A bit of a pot calling the kettle black, Janelle said in her own interview.
She confided, “He spills secrets like water through a colander. He disclosed details about his past relationships and multiple spouses that left me thinking, ‘It seems inappropriate for you to be sharing that with me.’
In days gone by, before their love started dwindling, they would combine their earnings into a common fund instead.
In simpler terms, Janelle said on the September 22 episode that we used to give everything we had to help one person, and then we all came together to support another person. This is how things were for quite some time, until around ten years ago. Since then, however, it seems like everyone has become focused on building their own estates instead of helping each other.
When Robyn required a house in Arizona, everyone chipped in to purchase her $1.65 million five-bedroom property – it had been listed for sale back in August.
Initially, Robyn stated that acquiring the asset would benefit the entire family. However, when Janelle proposed that everyone’s names be added to the mortgage, she was met with opposition. Kody responded by saying, “No, no, we need to safeguard, you understand, protect Robyn’s estate,” as recalled by Janelle. Now that she is leaving the family, Janelle explained, she wants her 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 collaborating, it seems rather perplexing to me when Janelle mentions she’s owed funds. I can’t seem to wrap my head around it.
Janelle expressed her frustration about the family’s inability to settle Coyote Pass debts, stating that Kody often mentioned having numerous other financial obligations. However, she has observed him acquiring additional assets such as trailers and interior decorations. “I notice all the artwork on Robyn and Kody’s walls,” she said. “I see all these items. And I understand, I too have spent money on things.” (Kody, on his part, explained that a significant portion of his funds were used for purchasing cars—”Essentially, I had a fleet”—and insurance for the children.)
Janelle admitted she wasn’t clear about Kody and Robyn’s financial management, but she often found herself taken aback by the lavishness of Robyn’s backyard, which was always immaculately finished. Additionally, there were always various items at her house, leaving Janelle to exclaim, “Wow, really?
Essentially, she stated that he didn’t value her needs or desires, which became increasingly problematic over time. She further mentioned, “I came to realize this, and even my grown children were growing frustrated, expressing their dismay like, ‘Mom, what on earth is going on?’
Robyn, on the other hand, became cautious about her finances following the breakdown of her first marriage.
She openly admitted during the September 22 episode that she hadn’t been good with managing money in the past. She encountered financial difficulties early on in life, and it wasn’t until her divorce that she truly mastered budgeting skills. Regarding her fellow sister wives, she casually commented, “It seems like you prioritized your spending differently than I did.
Currently, as shown on the September 22 episode, Janelle admitted that she and Meri, along with Robyn and Kody, do not maintain regular contact with their families, including Aspyn Brown, Mykelti Brown Padron, Paedon Brown, Gwendlyn Brown, Ysabel Brown, and Truely Brown. She expressed doubts that this situation will significantly improve in the near future.
Speaking fondly about the period when they shared four homes on a cul-de-sac in Las Vegas, Kody reminisced, “It was simply the best phase of my life. Life was running smoothly, and it was wonderful to have Maddie and Caleb close by. I had a special bond with Caleb; he felt like family.
However, discord arose in Arizona concerning coronavirus safety measures, and things began to deteriorate. Later, as his marital unions disintegrated, he lamented that this also affected his relationship with the children: “This simply led to all those connections becoming bitter.
But Christine insisted their were issues well before she announced she was leaving in late 2021.
On the September 22 episode, she stated that the children who seemed upset had been feeling this way long before she departed. She emphasized that her departure did not alter the dynamics of their relationships with their father; Kody still has the ability to mend his connections with his kids.
Though it’ll definitely take some work.
Kody expressed his feelings, saying, “I’m still upset over how I was treated and haven’t been able to move past it yet. The problem is, I won’t accept blame for things my wife or ex-wife are accusing me of. I can only hope that with time the resentment will fade, and we’ll be able to find forgiveness and love once more.
At their wedding, which took place when Kody was 21 years old and Meri was 19, it turned out they weren’t particularly well-acquainted, either spiritually or legally. They eventually decided to file for divorce in 2014, allowing Kody to legally adopt Robyn’s three older children from her previous marriage.
In our wedding, she seemed quite unlike her usual self, and I now realize there were some issues from her past that I wasn’t aware of. At first, I thought I could cope with it. However, as time passed, everything became a source of conflict. To put it simply, I can’t endure living in an environment where she is consistently upset with me.
Despite his desire to depart, Kody explained that due to their plural marriage arrangement, he couldn’t ask for a divorce. He was bound by the rules and couldn’t escape the relationship. However, he didn’t necessarily yearn for an exit. Instead, he sought understanding about whether they could salvage and mend their bond.
Therefore, due to the conflicting signals, he admitted that Meri believed they could sort things out. However, whenever they were together, Kody explained, “She wasn’t pleasant, she wasn’t amusing, she wasn’t considerate, she wasn’t engaging. I’m trying to be interested in her, but I’m growing tired.
In his opinion, it’s understandable that Meri might feel forsaken, “Yet, let me clarify, I didn’t ask her to depart. It was Christine, Janelle, and Meri who decided for me to step out of our shared residence.
In my professional opinion as a lifestyle advisor, although Janelle and Christine believed their union with Kody wasn’t formally recognized due to its non-legal status, Meri took the initiative to seek a formal separation within our faith community towards the end of 2022, which we refer to as a release.
She clarified in the September 22 episode that all four of us wives had united with Kody through our church. Since it’s not possible for all of us to have legal marriages, we referred to our union as a covenant. Given that none of us are planning to proceed with a formal marriage, I think it’s right to dissolve this covenant. Furthermore, if he doesn’t want me, I don’t wish to be bound to him for eternity in any spiritual sense. At this point, I believe we should completely part ways.
Kody appeared reluctant, as she put it, since she didn’t feel comfortable submitting to the leadership of the church officials.
Kody clearly stated his position: “The harm is so extensive that we can never mend things, no matter the circumstances.” He further added, “Consequently, while we answer to God, I choose not to be held accountable by this church and its nonsense. Therefore, I’m allowing Meri to pursue her own path because if I’m resentful towards her, it turns into a conflict. Frankly, I just want her to step aside because it has taken her so long to accept that things are over for years.
2021 holiday gift exchange conversation turned sour for the 18 Brown family members. “Things spiraled out of control, things took a turn for the worse,” explained Christine. “Kody and Robyn, along with their children, were on one side, and they refused any involvement with Janelle, me, and our kids. This text conversation led to a division within the family.
Robyn explained that her three older children perceived the interaction as “uncomfortable emotionally” and requested some distance in their relationship. However, she emphasized that it wasn’t a matter of them wanting to cut ties completely or avoid her; rather, they felt the situation had become unpleasant for them.
For his part, Gabriel is hoping that they could find their way back to each other.
He admitted during the October 13 episode that what he yearns for most is to rebuild a relationship with Robyn’s children. During middle school, Aurora was his preferred companion, and in high school, he often attempted to connect with Dayton. However, he shared that he’s not optimistic about forming a relationship with their father and Robyn.
Aurora firmly stated that she had been repeatedly informed, in various situations and by different individuals, that she was not welcomed or accepted as a part of the family when her mother married Kody in 2010. They made it clear to her that she wasn’t their sister, and they didn’t recognize or perceive her in that role.
Her sister Breanna expressed that she believed the parents could have made more efforts to strengthen our family bond, but unfortunately, that connection was not established effectively.
But Christine isn’t sure how they could have opened their arms any wider.
Robyn’s children and Robyn themselves were always invited to every event,” she emphasized. “In essence, I was simply saying that they should feel free to drop by our home whenever they please.
At the same time, she mentioned, her daughter Ysabel Brown shared a strong bond with Robyn’s children. In fact, Mykelti Brown Padron lived with them for a period. “There were challenging times and my children felt exasperated at times,” she said, “but they regarded Robyn’s kids as their siblings just as dearly.
Speaking enthusiastically about the freedom she experienced, Janelle expressed her views on plural marriage as follows: “When it’s working well, plural marriage provides an extraordinary family structure that you’re part of, a community in which you’re deeply involved. You have a husband whom you share a strong bond with, and at the same time, you maintain your personal independence. For me, this unique arrangement offered by plural marriage was truly fantastic.
According to Janelle’s account, Kody found it more challenging to distribute his affection when the family moved from Las Vegas to Arizona in 2018.
As I transitioned to Flagstaff, I discovered a refreshing sense of independence, a point I highlighted during our September 29 broadcast. Occasionally, I had to gently nudge Kody to honor our agreed-upon visits at my residence. On certain occasions, he’d cite fatigue as an excuse, to which I would respond, “I understand you’re tired, but you can rest just as effectively at my place as you can at Robyn’s.
Janelle stated that her kids were reprimanded if they opened Robyn’s refrigerator, indicating the sense of distance they felt towards Robyn. Meanwhile, Christine’s children perceived the issue as seeing that their father was involved with Robyn, but she wasn’t present in their home.
And Robyn said her crew definitely felt the divide.
She mentioned during the September 29th broadcast that Meri generally welcomed my children and me with open arms, but the rest of the family found it difficult to accept us. They wished nothing more than to become a part of this family.
Instead, Gabriel might contend that he and his brothers made considerable efforts to include them.
In the October 13th episode, he expressed his belief that Robyn seems to have a tendency to view herself as a victim. To put it simply, this is his observation. He doesn’t necessarily hold her accountable for this. Instead, he thinks that various individuals develop unique coping mechanisms to stay afloat in life.
If she genuinely thinks that we were unfairly treating her or her children while she enjoyed special treatment from your father and we were making efforts to bond with them, and if she truly holds this belief, then it’s impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Robyn.
During a September 29 broadcast, Kody described how moving between four homes frequently impacted his 18 children, specifically recalling an instance when his and Robyn’s youngest daughter Ariella, born in January 2016, became distressed at the sight of him leaving.
In his own words, he said, “I had to tell her, ‘I have another wife and children who need me too,’ which was a tough reality for her. She clung to me, crying ‘Don’t leave me, Daddy,’ as I left, finding it incredibly difficult.
Unfortunately, that’s just a reality of plural marriage, insisted Janelle.
As a lifestyle expert, I would rephrase the statement as follows: “Right from the get-go, my children were aware that their father wouldn’t always be around. To me, Kody and Robyn seemed to handle the situation poorly with her kids. He couldn’t stay away for more than three or four days because Ari gets so upset. I can’t help but feel this was suboptimal parenting. Throughout the annals of our family history, other children have managed extended absences, and they’ve turned out to be well-adjusted adults.
Among the relatively few young individuals with a connection to both Robyn, Kody, and also Christine and Janelle – mother of three, Mykelti – played the part of the mediator amidst Kody’s divorces.
From the very start when Robyn joined the Brown clan, Mykelti warmly welcomed her, extending an invitation for her presence during the delivery of Mykelti’s twin boys in November 2022 – Archer and Ace.
During the September 29th episode, Mykelti expressed that when Robyn initially became part of our family, I was still trying to understand my identity. She made me feel valued and understood, which was exactly what I needed at the time. Robyn was a source of comfort for me during difficult times. When I needed someone to listen, to care for me, to love me, she was there.
Christine’s motherly joy knew no bounds when she saw Robyn join their family and observed the strong bond between her and Mykelti. On the October 6 episode, she expressed this by saying, “It was exactly what I had hoped for,” sharing her sentiments. She had always dreamed of a large family where her children would cultivate beautiful relationships with other mothers, and that’s precisely what she saw unfolding.
As an ardent admirer, let me put it this way: I firmly believe it’s not just my spouses who’ve distanced themselves from me. It seems to me they’re intentionally excluding me from their lives as a form of retribution for a wrong I didn’t do. In the latest episode on October 6, I shared my perspective on my strained relationship with some of my older children. “I am merely accused,” I said, “of not being swept off my feet by the mothers who birthed them.
What’s more, he continued, he think his former spouses are a bit to blame.
He stated that the strain in his relationships with his kids primarily stems from negative comments, as he put it. He suggested that the turmoil caused by the family splitting up is overwhelming, leading him to think, “I guess I’m the one to blame. I must have made a mistake.
However, although he accepts some responsibility for the situation, he strongly objects to the derogatory comments. Notably, he confided that he found it challenging to bond with Hunter, Maddie, and Gabriel, as one of his children retorted to a text message with “You are worthless. I wouldn’t talk to you again even if I tried.
In another instance, he expressed to the cameras, “One of my children recently said, ‘You’re quite obnoxious. I won’t speak to you anymore. You’ve deceived me and indoctrinated me.’
He’s reluctant to handle the venomous situation, as he stated, “I won’t keep reaching out indefinitely.” He believes his elders should take more responsibility in resolving matters. “I’m ready to put in the work,” he added, “but someone else must also be prepared to step up and contribute effort as well.
For Robyn, watching Kody’s estrangement from his adult children hit far too close to home.
In her October 6 appearance, she shared that when she was young, her parents divorced. This meant her father lived with another wife in a different city, while her mother lived alone. She recalled questioning him about the situation, asking “What happened? Why weren’t you there for me?” His responses, she said, were just weak explanations that didn’t make up for his absence during her childhood, which was very difficult for her.
In other words, she wasn’t going to let Kody’s hurt feelings hinder his efforts. She confided during their heated confrontation, recorded at the end of 2022, that it was challenging for her not to feel a slight loss of respect towards him.
Despite acknowledging that he should work harder on repairing his relationship with his children, Kody stated that healing his own heart is a necessary step first.
He disclosed that some of his children seem to be working together against him. He admitted, “I’m so enraged by what has transpired that if I interact with my kids, I fear they might provoke me with an allegation. At the moment, I’m too emotionally charged. All I can do is cause further harm.
Despite a large portion of the family being present at the wedding of Janelle and Kody’s eldest son, Logan, to Michelle Petty in October 2022, there seemed to be little warmth or affection among them.
In the October 6th episode, Kody expressed his displeasure to Robyn, stating that he had noticed Madison hastily taking her children away from him. He mentioned that his daughter hadn’t informed him about her pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of their third child, daughter Josephine, in February 2023. Essentially, he was saying that she didn’t tell him she was expecting a baby.
Frankly, Maddie doesn’t tell her dad much of anything with the two rarely speaking.
Janelle clarified that Maddie avoids Kody because of their lack of relationship,” she said, explaining the reason behind her daughter’s absence at the wedding. “Maddie values her children’s safety and comfort highly. Kody hasn’t been present since Evie was born, who is now three-and-a-half years old. Maddie didn’t want him to show up unannounced and surprise them with a ‘Hi, I’m your grandpa,’ moment, which could have left the children confused about his identity.
Kody expressed that it’s not feasible for grandparents to always be involved in their grandchildren’s lives, using Maddie’s situation in North Carolina as an example. He noted that if you relocate your children to a completely different coast, maintaining close ties can become challenging. Given his commitments in Flagstaff, he has his own work and personal life to attend to.
It’s evident that Kody and his grown children hold vastly disparate perspectives on their persistent estrangement, and a major source of contention appears to be Kody insisting on an apology or admission of wrongdoing from them.
Once the COVID crisis had passed and we resumed our regular routines, there was still an unresolved issue within our family, as Kody felt that his sons should apologize to him and particularly to Robyn. As this demand evolved, he simply wanted them to discuss things with him,” Janelle explained during the October 13 episode, expressing her desire for a conversation between her sons and herself.
As an ardent admirer, let me put it this way: What really got to Kody was the sense that his children hadn’t stood by him, and worse still, the person who had given her all to our family, the one we all cherish deeply, had been disrespected or faced some unjust treatment. And I found myself saying, “Well, Kody, I don’t know. I guess whatever you say.
Gabriel expressed a similar sentiment when narrating a talk with his father. “He continually framed it as if I owed him an apology,” he told Janelle. “In the end, I said something along the lines of, ‘Look, unless you’re genuinely prepared to rebuild our relationship and make amends, we won’t be communicating anymore.’ A few days later, he texted me back. He admitted, ‘I’ve been contemplating your words. I forgive you, please forgive me.’ I responded, ‘For what exactly should I ask for forgiveness?’
Among the six children Kody has with Janelle, only his youngest, Savanah, is the one he often interacts with. While it’s not very frequent, every couple of months he’ll reach out and they’ll spend some time together. The other children don’t seem to have much relationship or connection with him.
Regarding Savannah, who completed high school in 2023, she perceives her four elder brothers as stepping into a fatherly role. Already, she has shared with Janelle her intention of asking her siblings to accompany her during her wedding procession someday.
In conversation with Savanah, she expressed, “It’s clear now that this is his nature – he will be the kind of father who enjoys spending time with us, but may not always be present. I understand his situation and am fine with it.
Janelle, however, is less forgiving.
She expressed her disappointment with Kody, saying, “I can’t help but feel frustrated because I’ve witnessed similar situations before. There are multiple women I’ve collaborated with in the past whose ex-husbands would disappear with the children after a divorce.
Initially, when the strain between them emerged, “Gabriel found it particularly tough as Kody often invited Gabriel along on business journeys,” noted Janelle, implying that Kody had been a highly involved father until quite recently.
Despite being puzzled about what might have upset his father, Gabriel asserted during the Oct. 13 episode, “If Dad refuses to change and can’t accept responsibility, then I simply won’t visit him anymore. And I’m completely at peace with that decision.
In her own words, she expressed that he’s content with his father not being a part of his life, and she wishes the same for all her children, hoping they too will reach this state.
For his part, Kody also seems resigned to the situation.
He expressed regret about how Gabriel seems to feel, adding, “I’ve tried reaching out to him numerous times, but each attempt has been met with rejection. However, I assure you, my efforts were not for lack of sincerity or determination.
In late 2022, Meri was the one who ended her relationship with Kody, following the religious process known as a “release,” citing abandonment as the reason, since he had left her without his love and companionship.
She pointed out during the October 13 broadcast that he dislikes that particular word because he doesn’t believe he left her. Instead, she feels it was him who departed.
To put it simply, she believes he neglected her until she chose to depart, at which point he could claim, “‘I have no involvement.’
And Kody didn’t totally deny that he had a bit of a strategy.
He admitted that he had already moved past the situation a while ago, but in all honesty, he was scared of her reaction if he ended things abruptly. The reason being, Meri was never faithful to him, and that’s what he feared. It’s more about preserving his reputation because when someone gets divorced, their name often takes a hit.
Instead, alleged Meri, it was hers that was being tarnished.
She expressed her disappointment by saying, “It’s truly unfortunate how Kody is discussing our marriage the way he is. It seems his perspective on our relationship has shifted, yet the accusations he makes against me to others just aren’t accurate.
Before Christina eventually parted ways with Kody, it became clear to her that they were not well-suited for each other based on a suggested exercise from their marriage counselor in Las Vegas.
In her quest to outline the traits she desired in a partner, Christine jotted down that she was searching for someone who excelled at communication, someone consistently involved in her and their children’s lives, and someone who found her attractive. However, as she shared on the episode of October 20th, Kody wasn’t any of those things. “I presented the list to him,” she admitted, “and he said, ‘I’m not any of those for you.’ I responded, ‘No, you’re not.’
The missive was part of the reason she knew so quickly that now-husband David Woolley was her person.
She enthusiastically shared that family means everything to the widowed father of eight. Not only does he run his own drywall company, but he is also known for his integrity, authenticity, and excellent communication skills.
