Christine Brown, one of the stars of the reality show Sister Wives, has always been open about her life and her interactions with her fellow sister wife, Meri. During the seventeenth season of Sister Wives, Christine revealed how little she has actually spoken to Meri since her split from their common husband, Kody Brown. While the focus of the eighteenth season was on Kody’s relationships with Meri and Janelle following his separation from Christine, not much attention was given to Christine’s relationships with Meri or the other sister wife, Robyn, after the divorce. Meri, who became Kody’s first wife shortly after they started dating in 1990, was followed by Janelle and then Christine in the Brown family’s polygamous marriage.
In a recent interview with People magazine, Christine opened up about her strained relationship with Meri following her separation from Kody. According to Christine, she has had minimal communication with both Meri and Robyn, stating that she has only spoken to Meri once since their split. Although they have crossed paths at some family gatherings, their interactions have been brief and polite. Contrary to her initial hopes for a different outcome, Christine has come to accept that their relationship will remain distant. She expressed that she has no desire to foster a close bond with either of them. As the entertainment industry faces ongoing strikes, reality television has become a popular alternative. With that said, what are the current top-rated reality shows? Additionally, it is worth noting that Meri Brown has not ruled out the possibility of reconciling with Christine or Janelle in the future.
While Christine and Janelle have stated that they don’t feel the need to mend their relationships with Meri, Kody’s original wife has a different perspective. Meri made it clear that reconciling would require effort from all parties involved and that she wouldn’t be the one making the effort alone. However, she also mentioned that she is open to keeping in contact and not closing any doors. Janelle and Christine may not be interested in a future relationship with Meri, but if they all choose to stay connected, Meri is willing to have her ex-sister wives in her life. Perhaps in season 18 of Sister Wives, they will find comfort in each other.
The dynamics within the Brown family have drastically shifted as Meri, Janelle, and Christine have all moved on from their relationships with Kody. It appears that their involvement in the family, as it once was, has come to an end. While Robyn and Kody remain hopeful that their family structure will include his former sister wives and their children in the future, it seems unlikely that they will maintain the same level of contact as before. For Christine and Janelle, starting fresh with new lives and new partners, including Christine’s husband David Woolley, has allowed them to leave behind the challenges of their shared past.
Although the eighteenth season of Sister Wives has concluded, the unresolved issues between the estranged Brown family are only just beginning to surface. While Christine and Janelle embark on the next chapter of their lives together, Meri has struggled to hold onto the family she once knew. Her newfound independence has brought about significant changes, even in her relationships with Robyn and, to some extent, Kody. Despite their long history together, the women of Sister Wives have made the individual choice to move forward separately.
