Sister Wives’ Christine Brown has always been a woman who believes in fairytales. I mean, she did hold out hope that her ogre of an ex-husband would change. But Kody Brown turned out to be a frog instead of her knight in shining armor. But even amid a nasty divorce, Christine hoped she’d find her one true love. And as luck would have it, David Woolley showed up on Valentine’s Day just in the nick of time. However, not all of his stepchildren were initially sold on the idea.
Christine Brown’s children didn’t like David Woolley
Perhaps one of the most vocal of the Brown children, Paedon Brown, let it be known back in May 2023 that he wouldn’t be giving his mother his blessing. As we know, the aspiring firefighter had a change of heart since he walked her down the aisle. But at the time, Paedon told The Sun, “As fans know, Christine rushed her engagement, saying “yes” after only two months of dating.” This move was a major red flag for many of Christine’s children. A source told the outlet, “Paedon never supports this kind of stuff. He doesn’t support much of anything, so it’s not surprising.” The family friend added, “It’s not to say that two or three years from now, he’ll change his mind, but for now, he’s made his feelings clear.”
Paedon also took to his TikTok to voice his concerns. He shared, “Last night, I told her, ‘Hey, Mom, you’re going fast. I’m not telling you to slow down. I just want you to be aware that you’re rushing this. You were in – you’ve been in a bad relationship with dad for years.'” Gwen Brown also took to her Instagram Live to share her feelings. She noted, “Yeah, I like my mom’s boyfriend. He and Truely get along really well, which is what I was most concerned about.”
The Sister Wives clan was concerned for Christine Brown
We all understand the idea of getting hit with Cupid’s arrow. But most of the Browns worried that Christine was moving way too fast. And their worries were valid. Sunday night’s all-new Sister Wives episode showed her that while her children supported her adventures in online dating, many wanted her to act a bit more rational. Christine has been all about the lovey-dovey social media posts, and they’ve been a bit sickening if I’m being honest.
Fans already know that none of the Brown children want to follow in the polygamist’s footsteps. The episode showed that Paedon and Ysabel Brown were the most candid about their apprehensions, sharing that they needed more processing time. Christine’s only son stated, “Mom, acknowledging it’s going fast isn’t us telling you that it’s bad. It’s just us being observant.” Paedon added, “It’s just saying, ‘Oh, this is going really fast. It’s not us telling you to stop or slow down.” The children had every right to be concerned since they were just getting used to their parent’s divorce. From an outsider’s perspective, it looked like Christine just didn’t want to be alone.
Christine Brown refused to slow down the love train
What was a bit of a surprise was that Christine, while happy her children shared their opinions, refused to slow down her relationship. But the issue that bugged the Brown kids the most was Christine’s PDA. And I get it. No one wants to see how the hot dog is made. (I’m not sure that’s the proper vernacular, but you get the picture.) Mykelti Brown, who is the only remaining bridge between Christine and Kody, noted that their mother’s romance was non-existent when she was with the patriarch. Naturally, the kids are just not used to seeing their mother behave this way. But for the others, the physical affection has crossed a line.
In the background, Ysabel pretended to gag over the idea of Christine making out with her now husband. Paedon so eloquently added, “I’m happy for you, but I’d rather not be in the same room.” Viewers can second that motion. For Christine, making out was no big deal, telling TLC cameras, “So we kiss, and we hug in front of our kids. It’s a whole new world for them, and David and I just don’t care, and our kids are just going to have to get used to it.” Love was certainly in the air during Christine’s courtship and I am just very surprised she didn’t have a mutiny on her hands because the kids were not wrong to be apprehensive.
