Kody Brown's strained relationship with children takes center stage in 'Sister Wives' Season 19
Kody Brown’s strained relationships have been a major focus in the latest season of 'Sister Wives', particularly after his ex-wives Janelle Brown and Christine Brown left their plural marriages.
During last week's episode, Janelle opened up about the strained relationship between Kody and their daughter, Madison Brown, as she reflected on moving out of the family’s Arizona home. The pair officially left her plural marriage in December 2022—following Christine's departure in November 2021.
In a confessional, Janelle shed light on Kody’s estrangement from Madison and her husband, Caleb, explaining, "Kody really did kind of cut off communication with Caleb and Maddie when the family started to really dissolve, and the kids really don't know who he is. He's not been out to visit. He doesn't call."
She added, "Maddie and Caleb don't really have much relationship with him."
Kody is now only married to his fourth wife, Robyn, after his public separation from Meri Brown in January 2023. The patriarch shares 17 living children with his ex-wives Janelle, Christine, and Meri, as well as his current wife, Robyn.
His son, Garrison Brown, whom he shared with Janelle, died in March.
Later in the episode, viewers heard Kody's side of the story regarding his daughter. Reflecting on the situation, he countered, "To be honest with you, I didn’t really cut off communications with Madison. She cut it off with me. Every time I talked to her, it was a fish for gossip and I got tired of it."
