Sister Wives star Janelle Brown has given fans an exciting update about her new home under construction in North Carolina, reflecting her aspirations for a fulfilling life ahead. At 53 years old, Janelle was previously the second wife of polygamist Kody Brown. Following nearly three decades of marriage and the upbringing of six children, she made a significant decision in 2022 to leave both Kody and their plural family behind.
After her separation from Kody, Janelle sought a fresh start by relocating to North Carolina. Embracing this change, she acquired a parcel of land and launched a new business venture. Her passion for agriculture finally materialized as she embarked on her dream of cultivating food. Recently, Janelle shared progress on her home construction, showcasing impressive advancements.
