Housewives' sister Janelle Brown and Kody Brown's marriage was often not normal before their separation in 2022. Janelle and Kody's life was very close before they tied the spiritual knot in 1993. Janelle's mother, Sheryl Brown, and Kody's father, William Winn Brown, were married for years before William's death in 2013, making them finally married. […]

The expectant mother of three – who shares son Axel, 7, and daughters Evie, 5, and Josephine, 1, with husband Caleb's brush – it was previously stated in 2023 on the “Somewhat Basic” podcast that his children also have no relationship with their father, and would not “know him” if they saw him.

“I get messages all the time from people like, 'You should just forgive your dad and respect him,'” Maddie explained. “And I'm like, 'I don't think you know what you're talking about because your experience with your father may be very different than mine and my father.'”

Maddie is one of six children Kody has with ex Janelle, 55. The former has sons Logan, 30, Hunter, 27, and Gabriel, 22, and daughter Savanah, 19. They also have a son Garrison, who died by suicide in March. He was 25 years old.

During the episode of Sister Wives that aired in October last year, Kody contacted Maddie and cut off contact with her during his November 2021 breakup with his girlfriend. Christine Brown. The pair lived together for 25 years and shared six children together.

“I don't know what happened. “But when we broke up with Christine, Maddie stopped contacting me,” Kody said. “Maybe it was COVID or I don't know what happened, but he stopped touching me.”

However, Janelle had a different opinion about why her oldest daughter stopped talking to Kody.

“Maddie doesn't call because of her behavior, lately,” Janelle said in the confessional, which was recorded in the spring of 2022. “He's like, 'I don't know what to do with him. I don't know who this is.' He has to consider his children. He has to consider the stability of what they see as a grandfather. It's not just Maddie who doesn't call him.

When TLC viewers first met the Brown family during the network's 2010 premiere, Kody was married to Janelle, Christine and the first wife. Mary Brown. Robyn Brownwhom he was in love with at the time, ended up becoming his fourth wife after tying the knot in December 2014.

Robyn, 46, is Kody's only remaining wife. Together they share five children, including three from Robyn's previous relationships.
