Christine Defends ‘Taking’ Truely From Kody

Christine Brown has no regrets about her break up from husband Kody Brown — or her transfer again to Utah with youngest daughter Truely.

Christine, 51, defended her resolution throughout the Sunday, October 15, episode of Sister Wives, asserting that leaving truly benefited Kody’s relationship with Truely, 13. “When I lived in Flagstaff, [Arizona], I firmly believed that moving to Utah was the best choice for me and for Truely,” she defined. “I knew that I was taking Truely away from her dad. I felt like the best way to preserve Truely’s relationship with Kody was to move her away from him.”

Christine acknowledged that her perspective appeared “bizarre,” noting, “I know it sounds like that doesn’t quite compute.”

Continuing to justify her unconventional tactic, Christine argued that shifting away “froze” Kody and Truely’s bond in a wholesome place. “I took their relationship while it was still good and I picked it up and I moved it,” she instructed the cameras. “And then whenever we come back into town, I just pick it up again and I move it back.”

Kody, nonetheless, didn’t fairly see the scenario the identical method — and he wasn’t afraid to say so. “For Christine to think that she’s saving my relationship with Truely by taking her away from me and just ‘preserving’ it — that’s such B.S. rationalization,” he stated in a confessional, calling his ex’s justification “ridiculous.”

Christine paid a go to to Flagstaff in Sunday’s episode, reuniting with previous mates and fellow sister spouse Janelle Brown. The group hit the city to rejoice Christine’s “ex-anniversary,” a.okay.a. the day she and Kody spiritually tied the knot. (The former couple introduced their break up in November 2021 after 25 years collectively.)

“I’m a big fan of divorce, I’m just saying,” Christine teased in a confessional. “People that are thinking about it, I say go for it. ‘I’ve been thinking I need to divorce my husband.’ Go, do it. Absolutely do it. … I’m not a therapist or a psychiatrist or anything. I just know how it feels on the other side and it’s awesome.”

Along with Truely, Christine and Kody share son Paedon, 25, and daughters Aspyn, 28, Mykelti, 27, Gwendlyn, 21, and Ysabel, 20. Kody can be the daddy of 12 extra kids with Janelle, Meri Brown and Robyn Brown.

While season 17 of Sister Wives highlighted how Christine’s departure modified the plural household’s dynamic, season 18 has documented Kody’s fractured relationship with Janelle. (Both Janelle and Meri, 52, have break up from Kody since filming the season.)

Despite the household’s unsure future, Christine and Janelle have remained shut mates. When Christine married husband David Woolley earlier this month, Janelle was the one Sister Wives costar current.

“I may not be able to give my kids a dad,” Christine teased on Sunday’s episode, “but I can give them Janelle, for goodness sake.”

Sister Wives airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
