Sister Wives’ Christine Brown and Janelle Brown formed a strong friendship before — and after — their respective splits from Kody Brown.
Kody was legally married to Meri Brown from 1990 to 2014, when he opted to divorce her in order to lawfully wed Robyn Brown, who initially joined the family in 2010. Kody’s spiritual unions with Janelle and Christine began in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
After more than 20 years together, Christine announced her split from Kody in November 2021. Viewers learned during the December 2022 tell-all special that Janelle and Kody had been “separated for several months.” Meri confirmed her decision to leave the family in January 2023.
As the plural family crumbled, Christine and Janelle only grew closer — as did their children. In fact, Janelle and all six of her kids attended Christine’s October 2023 wedding to David Woolley. Kody, Robyn and Meri were not present.

Christine revealed via Instagram that she was on a cruise with her husband and her BFF Janelle. “In the very beginning of our relationship, I told David that Janelle and her kids are part of me. Not as in we were living polygamy again, but she’s my Sisterwife, always,” Christine captioned a boat snap. “Of course, they get along great. Vacationing with all of us is awesome.”
Janelle was on hand when Christine and Woolley said “I do” in Utah. Her six kids were also at the nuptials, while only five of Christine’s six kids toasted the happy union. Meri’s only child, Leon, made the trip as well and posed for photos with the Brown siblings.
“I’m on to North Carolina to meet my new grand babie, Josephine. I also get the pleasure of Axel and Evie. Ow and of course @madison_rose11 I’m so excited #lovemygrandbabies #northcarolina #lularoeelsa #travelday #newset #lovethislife,” Christine wrote via Instagram as she prepared to visit Janelle’s granddaughter.
Janelle included a shout-out to her sister wives in a sweet Mother’s Day tribute. “To @christine_brownsw who taught me how nice it is to just have fun with your kids. Goof off, go on adventures and have movie nights. And to your mom, Grandma Annie, whom I think might secretly be a version of myself in another universe,” she wrote.
