Sister Wives stars Janelle and Christine Brown are happily living their own lives since leaving Kody. However, not everything is so wonderful. The women admit they hate seeing their children have poor relationships with Kody.
Onscreen, the family patriarch even admitted one child called him an “a**hole” and said they never wanted to speak to him again. Is there any room to rebuild these broken bonds?
Janelle & Christine Brown Want Their Children To Be Friendly With Their Father
As Season 19 continues, Christine and Janelle Brown sat down with Extra to discuss the family dynamic. More than anything, the women admitted they feel ready to move on with the next chapter of their lives.
They wish Kody luck with his next adventure but wish he would make amends with his children.
“I wish he had a relationship with his kids. I’m heartbroken for him because his kids are some of the best people that I know. His children are phenomenal people, and I love having them in my life,” Christine sadly shared in the interview.
“They’re really the glue that is the family, right? I feel like we’re sort of in orbit around these kids,” Janelle chimed in.
Christine went on to say she thinks that she and Janelle are the problem. Kody won’t mend fences with his children because he’s still angry with their mothers.
“I’ve told my kids, ‘Look, when your dad calls, you need to pick it up and you need to talk to him because he’s a person and he is your dad. You’ve got to respect that,’” Christine continued.
The Sister Wives Stars Share An Unbreakable Bond
Christine and Janelle may no longer be “sister wives,” but they’re together by choice now. The women admit they have so much shared history it doesn’t feel possible to separate their lives. Nor do they want to.
“I raised my kids with her, and we have grandkids together, and our kids our siblings,” Christine told Extra.
“More shared history almost than my own sister,” Janelle agreed.
For the most part, Kody Brown doesn’t play an active role in either of the women’s lives.
“I have not really seen Robyn or Kody,” Janelle revealed. “I’ve seen Kody, with the death of our son, of course I was interacting with Kody more. But like, I don’t really hang out, I don’t have any conversations with them. I just wish them well. They have a very separate life, and I’m just gonna go on living my life.”
