Sister Wives star Janelle Brown recently showcased a radiant new look in a captivating photo that she shared on social media, signaling her readiness to embrace life beyond her marriage to Kody Brown. At 55, Janelle, who was Kody’s second wife, has now joined the ranks of his former partners who are moving forward, marking a significant chapter in her life after parting ways with the polygamous lifestyle. Kody, who has four wives and 18 children, now finds himself in what has become an unintentional monogamous relationship with his youngest wife, 45-year-old Robyn Brown, as Sister Wives season 19 unfolds. Amid all of this, Janelle appears to be flourishing.
Although Janelle and Kody’s relationship appeared strong over the years, she made the difficult decision to leave him in 2022 after almost three decades of marriage and six children together. This choice was fraught with complexity, particularly as Janelle navigates the aftermath of losing her eldest son, 25-year-old Garrison Brown, who tragically passed away in March 2024. Despite the weight of her sorrow, Janelle has taken proactive steps in her life, recently relocating to North Carolina and venturing into her dream career. A notable transformation has also accompanied this shift, as she has achieved significant weight loss and radiates confidence.
Janelle Has Never Looked Better
She Left Kody and Lost Weight
Janelle recently delighted her followers by posting a stunning photograph of herself, dressed elegantly in a luxurious velvet gown for a high-profile fundraiser event. Her Instagram caption reflects her excitement about stepping out: “My friend @aprilwraines and her husband had an extra ticket for a fundraiser this weekend in Raleigh. It was fun to dress up and spend the evening out for a good cause.”Living and working on a farm now, this glamorous outing marked a significant change for Janelle, further underscoring her decision to move on from her past life with Kody.
Janelle & Christine’s Relationship Is Going Strong
“Still My #SisterWife Forever”
Historically, Janelle and Christine Brown, 52, were not particularly close during their time married to Kody, as they exhibited contrasting personalities. However, when Christine became the first wife to leave the marriage in 2021, their shared experiences created a strong bond between them. Following Janelle’s exit as the second wife, the two have formed a supportive friendship, even celebrating holidays together with their children.
Today, their friendship continues to flourish, with Janelle and Christine often traveling together. They collaborate with Plexus, a health and wellness company, and both recently earned cruise vacations as recognition for their efforts. An Instagram post from Christine featured delightful moments shared with friends and family, including her partner David Woolley and daughter Mykelti Padron. In her heartfelt message, Christine expressed, “I LOVED finally seeing @janellebrown117 again. Still my #sisterwife forever!!”This sentiment illustrates the unbreakable bond they share as they navigate life beyond their former collective marriage.
