Their next chapters! Kody Brown's children have found love of their own as the polygamous family gained fame on TLC.
Hailing from Wyoming, Kody entered into marriage with Meri Brown in 1990, and they became parents to their only child, Leon, five years later. Kody then entered into spiritual unions with Janelle Brown and Christine Brown in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
Janelle and the Utah native had a total of six children with Kody throughout their relationship. In 2014, Kody divorced his first wife, Meri, in order to legally marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown. He also adopted Robyn's three children from her previous marriage: David Dayton, Aurora Alice, and Breanna Rose. Kody and Robyn have two children together: Solomon Kody and Ariella May.
Despite the divorce, Kody remained spiritually married to Meri. However, in November 2021, a significant change occurred in the family. Christine and Kody took to social media to announce their separation after more than twenty years together.
The large group of siblings adapted to their new situation, and during this time, Paedon, the son of the former couple, shared his thoughts on how his family life had influenced his outlook on relationships. In an exclusive interview with We in February 2022, the reality TV star revealed that he has no desire to pursue non-monogamous relationships.
"I've been aware of this since I was around 7 years old, and it has remained true for most of my life," he expressed. "Living that kind of lifestyle is not what I aspire to. However, if it aligns with your values, then by all means, pursue it."
Paedon revealed that his parents never imposed a specific lifestyle on their children. They have been supportive in every aspect of their lives, including Leon's coming out and Paedon joining the army. Paedon confirmed that he was never pushed towards polygamy or anything else. As for Christine, after the separation, she has decided that she is done with plural marriage. Although she and the children are grateful for the sister wives, it is no longer something they desire or resonate with.
Despite the turbulence caused by the termination of her relationship with Kody, Christine maintained a strong bond with Janelle. The two women were reunited in October 2022 to celebrate the wedding of Janelle's son, Logan, to Michelle Petty in Arizona.
Captioning an Instagram post with her son, Christine expressed her pride as a mother and excitement for the newlyweds, stating, "My children, alongside the newly united couple. A few of us are already perspiring from the renowned Brown family's dance moves at gatherings."

'Sister Wives' Kids Love Lives: Who Kody Brown's Children Are Dating
Kody Brown's children are now embarking on their own love stories, as the polygamous family finds themselves in the TLC spotlight. Kody, who hails from Wyoming, initially married Meri Brown in 1990, and the couple welcomed their first and only child, Leon, five years after their wedding. Later on, Kody formed spiritual unions with Janelle Brown in 1993 and Christine Brown in 1994.
Janelle and the person from Utah both had six children with Kody over time. In 2014, Kody divorced Meri to legally marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, and adopt her three children from a previous marriage: David Dayton, Aurora Alice, and Breanna Rose. Kody and Robyn also have two children together: Solomon Kody and Ariella May.
Although Kody remained spiritually married to Meri, a significant change happened in the family in November 2021. Christine and Kody publicly announced their separation through social media after being together for over twenty years.
After adapting to their changed dynamics, the older siblings shared their thoughts on how their family situation influenced their views on relationships. Paedon, the son of the former couple, revealed to We in February 2022 that he has no inclination towards non-monogamy.
"I've been aware of this since I was around 7 years old. It's been a significant aspect of my life for as long as I can remember," he expressed. "However, that's not the path I wish to pursue. If it suits you, then by all means, go ahead."
Paedon previously mentioned that his parents never imposed a particular lifestyle on their children. He stated that they have always been supportive of their decisions, whether it was Leon coming out or him joining the army. Paedon emphasized that he has never felt pressured towards polygamy or any other pursuit. Additionally, he updated us on Christine's current perspective after the separation. According to him, she has sincerely moved on from plural marriage, and that is completely acceptable. He mentioned that she appreciates the bond with the sister wives, but for them, including Christine, it is no longer a fit or desire.
After her relationship with Kody came to an end, Christine's bond with Janelle remained strong. In October 2022, they had a reunion to celebrate the wedding of Janelle's son, Logan, and Michelle Petty in Arizona. Christine proudly shared a photo on Instagram, captioning it, "My children, along with the newlyweds. The Brown family's legendary dancing at events is already making us sweat."
