Leon Brown’s journey has been marked by significant changes and challenges, especially regarding their relationship with their family and their transition. Despite growing up in a polygamous family with many siblings, Leon has faced isolation from family members who did not support their transition. This includes Cody Brown, who reportedly does not support Leon’s transition and has cut off contact.
The Brown family, known for their reality TV show “Sister Wives,” has many children, making it challenging to feature each one in every episode. Fans have noticed a decrease in the appearances of certain kids, including Peyton and Aspen Brown, who are Cody and Christine’s children. However, the most significant absence has been that of Leon, previously known as Mariah.
During the pandemic, Leon moved from Chicago to Flagstaff, then to Utah with their partner to help run Mary Brown’s bed and breakfast. While they were occasionally seen when Mary was on the show at the inn, they have completely disappeared from the latest seasons with no mention of their name. This has left fans wondering about the reasons behind this significant change.
Despite their absence from the show, Leon has been enjoying a fulfilling life behind the scenes. In October 2022, they tied the knot with their longtime partner Audrey Chris in Colorado. Leon stays in touch with those who respect their preferences and use their correct name and pronouns.
While Leon’s mother, Mary, has been supportive of their transition, Cody’s stance has been less accepting. Reports suggest that Cody does not support Leon’s transition and has chosen to cut off contact. Cody continues to have a relationship with his other child, Wendling Brown, who married her girlfriend Beatric Queros in July 2023.
The dynamics within the Brown family have also been strained, particularly between Mary and Cody. Their relationship has been rocky, and their interactions with the rest of the family have significantly declined over the years. This distance started when Mary was catfished several years ago, and they have never fully healed from that.
Fortunately, Leon does not rely on the income from “Sister Wives” to cover their expenses. If the show were to be canceled, it would not affect their life in any way. With the pressure of being on the show no longer a concern, Leon can continue to enjoy their life with their partner, just as they have been doing.
