In a heartfelt revelation, Gwendlyn Brown, one of the stars of “Sister Wives,” has admitted that watching her family’s show has brought her to tears.
As the daughter of Christine and Kody Brown, Gwendlyn has grown up in the public eye, with her family’s personal and sometimes painful moments broadcast for the world to see.
Gwendlyn recently opened up about the emotional toll that revisiting these moments has had on her.
The reality of seeing her family’s struggles, disagreements, and heartfelt conversations replayed on screen has been overwhelming, leading to tears and deep reflection.
“It’s not easy watching the ups and downs of our lives unfold on television,” Gwendlyn shared. “Seeing my family go through difficult times, and reliving those moments, can be really tough. It brings back a lot of emotions.”
Gwendlyn Brown is the daughter of Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and his third wife, Christine Brown, and things weren’t always easy growing up in the Brown household.
When the unscripted series premiered in 2010, the entire Brown family lived under one roof. Kody, his three wives, and all their combined children lived in a large Utah house that was designed for a polygamous family.
Everything changed when the family added a fourth wife, Robyn Brown, to the family and moved into four multiple homes.
22-year-old Gwendlyn was only nine years old when Sister Wives premiered, and she grew up on television.
Though Gwendlyn loved growing up in a big family with 17 siblings, getting her father’s attention wasn’t always possible.
The family was already divided when the COVID-19 pandemic separated them for good. Gwendlyn’s mother, Christine, was the first of Kody’s wives to leave him, and three others would follow.
Read on to find out what Gwendlyn has been up to since the public dissolution of her family.
Gwendlyn Is Estranged From Her Father
She Doesn’t Follow Christine On Instagram Either
Kody married his first three wives within a couple of years, between 1990 and 1994, but another 16 years would go by before he married Robyn and added her three children from a previous marriage to the family.
After Kody and Robyn had two additional children, the number of Kody’s children swelled to 18. With so many people needing Kody’s time, some of his older children grew to resent the negligence.
Once Christine decided to leave Kody, Gwendlyn was firmly on her mother’s team.
Despite taking her mother’s side in the divorce, Gwendlyn doesn’t follow Christine on Instagram, which could suggest she has issues with her mother, too.
Gwendlyn Got Married
During the summer of 2023, Gwendlyn, who is bisexual, married her girlfriend, Beatriz Queiroz, in Arizona.
Gwendlyn isn’t the only member of the Brown family who is a part of the LGBT community. Her older sibling, 28-year-old Leon Brown, is a transgender man.
Leon was born as a woman to Kody and his first wife, Meri Brown, who also divorced Kody in 2022.
Chances Are Good
With Sister Wives season 19 on the horizon, it is likely that Gwendlyn will appear in the unscripted series again.
While she may be estranged from her father, the Sister Wives cast member maintains relationships with her siblings.
Though most of the Brown children don’t want to pursue polygamy in their own lives, they all often speak about being so glad they grew up with so many sisters and brothers.
