Kody Brown Reflects on Janelle Marriage Status

Kody Brown expressed some combined emotions about his relationship with Janelle Brown through the newest episode of Sister Wives.

“I asked Janelle once, ‘What is it? Why can’t we reconcile? Let’s try and reconcile. Why can’t we?’” he stated in a confessional on Sunday, November 5, after visiting Janelle’s new house. “[She says], ‘Well, I don’t know what your relationship with Robyn and Meri are, but I’m just not interested in being involved with those people.’ And that’s sad. Because that’s the deal we made about plural marriage.”

Tensions have been excessive between Kody and Janelle, each 54, all through season 18 after the pair had a blowout argument. They accused one another of “gaslighting” throughout their screaming match, which aired in September, and their standing has remained up within the air on digicam.

Kody confessed on Sunday that “it’s sad” to see how his marriage to Janelle has “unwound” over time. “I can’t get the puzzle pieces back together,” he stated. “But I’m gonna ask her again next week if we might be able to reconcile. And it’s painful every time. Maybe I should get more serious about it, but every time, it’s like, ‘Nope.’”

It’s your fault. You’ll be a bad sister wife. I have to protect Robyn.’ Because he doesn’t have a relationship with Meri.”
