Sister Wives Star Janelle Brown Says Mom Tried to ‘Save Me From the Polygamist’ Before Marriage to Kody

If Janelle Brown had just listened to her mother, she might have been able to avoid a life filled with unnecessary drama. The Sister Wives star married Kody Brown behind her family’s back. And in retrospect, it caused her nothing but heartache. The mother of six has now opened up about how her mother tried to save her from making the biggest life mistake. 

Janelle Brown didn’t have the support of her family

During the most recent episode of Sister Wives, Janelle opened up to the cameras. “When Kody and I got married, my family was very upset with my decision to join the faith. So most of my family was not talking to me,” she shared. After doing a bit of soul searching, Janelle decided to look back at the short time before becoming Kody’s second wife. The duo married in 1993, shortly after her first marriage to Meri Brown’s brother ended. Janelle remembered wearing a green dress for her ceremony.  

But the TLC star also remembered another important detail of her big day. “My mom was at the wedding because she came to save me from the polygamist and ended up marrying Kody’s dad three months before we got married.” Janelle laughed as she added, “So my mom was obviously OK with it, but the rest of my family was really not OK with it. So they didn’t, they didn’t come.” But the Sister Wives star isn’t harboring any hard feelings. Janelle isn’t ruling out a possible future relationship. She told fans, “If I get married again, I’m probably not going to have a dress. I’m not going to do the big white dress. I mean, I’m probably honestly going to just get married on a mountain in my jeans somewhere.”

Sister Wives airs on Sundays on TLC.
