Christine Brown, aged 51, took to Instagram on Friday, November 3, to express the deep connection she shares with Janelle Brown, her sisterwife. She made it clear that there is no such thing as a third wheel in her relationship with her husband, David Woolley. Their recent cruise adventure solidified their bond and commitment to one another.
The Sister Wives star expressed her admiration for her husband, aged 59, and her lifelong friend Janelle, aged 54, emphasizing their excellent relationship. Christine also mentioned that going on vacations together with everyone is a wonderful experience.
A delightful group photo captured Christine's laughter at the beginning of their trip. Woolley, on the other hand, had a broad smile while standing beside his wife on the deck as the sun set. Janelle completed the squad, happily smiling on the opposite side of Christine.
"Setting sail on my inaugural cruise!" Janelle announced on Instagram on Friday, alongside a collection of photos as she boarded the ship.
Their maritime adventure comes just under a month after Janelle flew to Utah to show her support for Christine's wedding to Woolley on October 7. (Both Christine and Janelle were previously in spiritual unions with Kody Brown. Christine and Kody, 54, ended their relationship in November 2021, while Janelle revealed in December 2022 that she and the patriarch were no longer together.)
"Loving life!! After marrying my soulmate, I experienced an absolutely stunning day," stated Christine via her Instagram account, expressing her heartfelt gratitude. "I'm truly overwhelmed with appreciation. Love you, My King."

Janelle was the only one among Christine's previous sister wives present to celebrate the occasion. Meri Brown, Kody's first wife, did not attend, but her child, Leon (28), made the trip. (Meri, 52, and Kody announced in January that they were no longer in a romantic relationship.)
Both Kody and his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, whom he legally married in 2014, were not included on the guest list. Their five children were also not present at the event. However, all six of Janelle and Kody's children, Logan (29), Maddie (27), Hunter (26), Garrison (25), Gabriel (21), and Savanah (18), were there to raise a toast to their second mother, Christine.
The bride and groom gathered for a family photo, joined by Janelle's children, Meri's child, and five of Christine's six children who were present. Smiling proudly, Paedon, aged 25, Aspyn, aged 28, Mykelti, aged 27, Ysabel, aged 20, and Truely, aged 13, supported their mother on her special day. However, Gwendlyn, aged 21, was unable to attend the ceremony.
Following their separations from Kody, both Christine and Janelle have maintained their connection and even strengthened their friendship. In 2022 and 2023, the longtime sister wives established new traditions with their combined 12 children and grandchildren, including festive Christmas and Easter celebrations.
"We must maintain traditions that uphold and pass down this aspect of our family," Janelle admitted during an episode of Sister Wives in October, while gathered at Christine's residence for Easter in 2022. "Irrespective of one's age, I find it immensely enjoyable to partake in these traditions." Christine acknowledged that there was an absence of any "tension in the atmosphere" when she and Janelle spent time together with their children, separate from Kody and the rest of the extended family.
