Sister Wives: Kody Brown Blames Christine for Stopping Janelle Reconciliation

Kody Brown hoped he could reconcile with his former wife, Janelle Brown. That said, he worried Christine Brown’s influence might stand in his way.

In the latest episode of Sister Wives, Kody opened up about how he felt about his relationship with Janelle, Meri Brown, and Robyn Brown. He shared in a confessional that Robyn, was the “love of his life” and said that his other relationships were in various “states of discord.”

“It’s hard to reconcile that we have so much angst in our lives,” Kody said.

He described his relationship with Meri as “amiable” but “distant.” He admitted that he doesn’t know what to do with their marriage, which is supposed to be forever but no longer has any fire.

As for Janelle, he said that she didn’t want to reconcile amidst their separation. He did admit, though, that they see each other occasionally and talk on the phone. He shared that he believed that they could reconcile but worried about Christine’s influence on her.

“Christine has so much influence over Janelle, I just think it’s pathetic,” he added. Because of this, he doesn’t feel comfortable expressing his concerns to Janelle because he worries that anything he might say to Janelle will get to Christine and the kids.

At the end of the day, Kody doesn’t understand “why Janelle can’t be married to me.” He looked back and said that Janelle was married to him when he married Meri, Christine, and Robyn. And he doesn’t understand why it can’t just be that way now.

Janelle and Meri aren’t having it

For her part, Janelle also reflected on her relationship with Kody during the episode. She admitted to Christine that she needed “something different from a relationship,” and her dynamic with Kody didn’t fit the bill anymore. She called their relationship “friends with benefits for years.”

The latest episode of the TLC show was filmed before Kody and Janelle’s official separation and one year after Christine’s split from Kody. 

Meri also alluded to her split from Kody before the official statement. The former couple eventually issued a joint statement about their relationship ending via Instagram in January.

They said, “After a decade of working on our relationship in our unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently terminate our marriage relationship.”

Things have been steadily falling apart for Kody. I wonder what will happen in the months ahead.
