In the world of reality TV, Sister Wives star Christine Brown is showering one of her sister wives, Janelle Brown, with love and attention while seemingly ignoring the third sister wife, Meri Brown.

Christine and Janelle share a strong and supportive sister wives relationship, offering each other guidance and support during difficult times. Despite having different ideas, Janelle looks up to Christine for inspiration in leading an independent life and seeks her advice on future decisions. The two have chosen to prioritize their own relationships and distance themselves from Meri, as they have different experiences and priorities compared to her. In season 18 of Sister Wives, it’s clear that Christine has been embracing Janelle into her new independent life, while distancing herself from Meri. The split between Christine and Kody has been challenging, but she has relied on Janelle for support and understanding. Janelle has also turned to Christine during tough times with Kody, highlighting the strong bond between the two sister wives. Overall, Christine and Janelle have been supportive sister wives for decades and have developed a close relationship based on trust and loyalty.

Janelle and Christine were both married to the same man, but they had a close bond as sister wives and supported each other throughout their time in the Brown family. Kody used to divide his time between his wives more equally, so Janelle and Christine had to navigate their schedules while raising their families and navigating plural marriage. They often relied on each other during their pregnancies and early motherhood, which helped them forge a strong friendship.

As their children grew older, Christine and Janelle’s friendship continued to deepen. They had already established a strong foundation of support and leaned on each other in place of a husband at times. This bond proved especially valuable when things got difficult, such as when Christine had to co-parent with Kody, or when Janelle’s marriage fell apart.

In the latest season of Sister Wives, it was clear just how supportive Christine and Janelle’s relationship has been. They offered each other advice and encouragement, and were always there for one another. Janelle was inspired by seeing Christine move forward with her life, and leaned on her for support as she navigated her own challenges. Overall, their sisterly bond has remained strong despite the complexities of their unconventional family dynamic.

After parting ways with Kody, Christine faced a series of challenging choices. Although she enjoyed raising her daughter Truely close to their family’s base in Flagstaff, Arizona, most of the Brown family had moved back to Salt Lake City, Utah. Given that Christine’s family also resided in Salt Lake City, she had previously suggested to the family during a Sister Wives season that they move back to Utah. Although her idea was dismissed at the time, Christine decided to relocate to a place where she felt more comfortable after leaving Kody. Despite Kody’s resistance, Christine moved to Utah with Truely and settled near her children.
Janelle has been grappling with her own struggles concerning Kody and their marriage while seeking guidance from Christine on how to navigate her life. Even though Janelle and Christine have different desires, Janelle has expressed her willingness to leave Flagstaff. Christine, who is already ahead of Janelle in terms of ending her relationship with Kody, has become a source of advice and direction for Janelle on handling such a delicate issue. By watching Christine become self-sufficient and move on with her life, Janelle has followed suit by deciding to depart after Christine.
Christine has no interest in establishing a relationship with Meri.

For nearly three decades, Christine, Janelle, and Meri have been a part of each other’s lives, but there has always been tension between Christine and Meri. Despite being open and honest on the show Sister Wives, Christine rarely mentions Meri and doesn’t seem interested in forming a close relationship with her. In fact, in the latest season of the show, both Janelle and Christine have admitted that they don’t feel obligated to maintain a relationship with Meri. While they have shared experiences that brought them together in the past, Meri’s issues with Kody and the family are different from Christine’s and Janelle’s. As Kody’s original wife, Meri has always prioritized her marriage above all else, which sets her apart from the others. As a result, Christine and Janelle have chosen to isolate Meri from their lives, and Janelle has been confiding in Christine about the situation with Kody, Meri, and Robyn.

Christine and Janelle have finally discussed the current state of the Brown family and their relationships with Kody, Meri, and Robyn. In season 18 of Sister Wives, Janelle has expressed her desire to continue being associated with anyone in the Brown family but wants to move forward independently. She hasn’t spoken to Meri or Robyn in a year and doesn’t feel the need to reach out to them. Christine feels the same way and both have encouraged each other to stay true to their desires. After Christine’s wedding to David Woolley, people were curious about the future of her relationship with Janelle outside of the plural family. Fortunately, they seem closer than ever and recently went on a cruise together with the company they work for, Plexus. Christine shared a heartwarming post stating that Janelle will always be her family, regardless of Sister Wives. Their bond has persisted and will continue to grow.
