Christine Brown's Heartwarming Family Moments Amidst Split With Kody Brown

After ending her 25-year-long relationship with Kody Brown, Christine Brown has been seeking comfort in the company of her family. In an Instagram post from October 2022, the Sister Wives star shared a photo with four of Kody and Janelle Brown’s children - Robert, Gabe, Hunter, and Savanah - and expressed gratitude for the time spent with these amazing kids.

Kody, a father of 16, has multiple wives including Meri Brown, Robyn Brown, and Janelle. Although he is legally married to Robyn, he is spiritually married to both Meri and Janelle. Christine, who was also once spiritually married to Kody, shares six children with him: Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely.

Christine, who grew up in a family practicing polygamy, shared the news of her separation from Kody, a Wyoming native, in November 2021. In an Instagram post, the founder of Secret to Self-Care revealed that after over 25 years together, they have grown apart and she has come to the difficult decision to part ways. Despite this, they plan to remain supportive of each other as they co-parent their children and continue to be a part of their family's life. Christine humbly asked for grace and kindness as they navigate through this challenging time.

After the split, her focus has been on spending quality time with her kids, and they have noticed a positive change in her demeanor.

"My mom seems much happier now," Paedon shared with We in February 2022. "She's living closer to our older sisters and maybe even plans to have more children in the future."

"She expressed her feelings about the situation, stating that she has moved on from it, and that's perfectly fine. She appreciates the presence of her other sister wives, and so do their children. While they are all thankful for the experience, it just isn't the right fit for her anymore. Since the breakup, the TV personality has moved back to her hometown of Utah from the Brown's residence in Arizona."

Kody expressed his lack of understanding towards Christine's desire to move, speculating that it may be a result of her wanting to date someone new or wanting to distance herself from him in order to do so. He also acknowledged the challenges that come with being spread thin in a plural marriage, admitting that it hasn't worked for Christine in quite some time.

Sister Wives’ Christine Brown’s Sweetest Photos With Her Kids After Kody Brown Split

Following Christine Brown and Kody Brown’s split after 25 years together, she’s found solace in spending time with family.

In an October 2022 Instagram photo, the Sister Wives star expressed her gratitude for spending time with Kody and Janelle Brown's children - Robert, Gabe, Hunter, and Savanah, whom she referred to as "awesome kids." Kody, on the other hand, is a father of 16 children, with wives Meri, Robyn, and Janelle, as well as six with Christine. While he is legally married to Robyn, he is spiritually married to both Meri and Janelle, with Christine having had a spiritual marriage with Kody before their eventual separation.

The couple, who share six children - Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truely - have gone their separate ways after Christine, who was brought up in a polygamous family, announced their split in November 2021.

Following over 25 years of being together, Kody and I have drifted apart, and it was a tough choice for me to leave,” expressed the creator of Secret to Self-Care on Instagram. “As we parent our lovely children and support our amazing family, we will remain a solid presence in each other’s lives. During this time, we kindly ask for your understanding and compassion as we navigate through this phase in our family’s life.”

Ever since the separation, she has made spending time with her children a top priority, and they have had the opportunity to witness a different aspect of her personality.

"My mother has found happiness now," Paedon shared with We in February 2022. "Living just a few minutes away from her two eldest daughters has brought her immense joy. Perhaps, in the future, more of us will move closer to her."

He went on to say, "While we are all grateful for the presence of our sister wives, my mother has reached a point where she no longer wishes to continue with this lifestyle. We respect her decision and are happy to see her content with her new arrangement."

The reality TV star has moved back to her hometown in Utah following her breakup, leaving the Brown's compound in Arizona. Kody expressed his confusion about her decision to move, speculating that it may be due to a potential love interest or a desire to distance herself from him and the challenges of plural marriage. He acknowledged that the lifestyle hasn't worked for her for quite some time.
