Sister WivesPolygamous patriarch Cody Brown has recently been divorced three times, but he may be reuniting with his second wife, Janelle Brown. Cody married his first wife, Mary Brown, in 1990, but the couple was not happy together. Since divorce was impossible, they decided to take a second wife. Cody and Mary had a history of polygamy, so this was not an alien concept. At the time, Janelle was married to Mary's brother, but she divorced him and married Cody in 1993.
Janelle had six children with Kody, but when all was said and done, Kody had four wives and 18 children. Over the past few years, Three of Kody's four wives walked away from his plural marriageand several of her grown children do not speak to her. The last premiere Sister Wives Season 19 finds Cody and his fourth wife, Robin Brown, in a monogamous marriage. However, Robyn believes Cody can save her marriage to Janelle.
Kody and Janelle's Relationship Timeline
Second, Second Speech
After marrying Janelle in 1993, Cody married his third wife Christine Brown in 1994. Cody and Janelle looked happy togetherbut everything fell apart when Cody started feuding with Janelle's older sons. In 2021, Kristin left Cody, Janelle in 2023, then Mary, so Janelle was the second wife to join the family, and the second left. The Sister Wives The season 19 star had six children with Kody, but sadly their son Garrison Brown, 25, died in March.
Janelle liked polygamy
He enjoyed Independence within the Spiritual Union
During a recent episode Sister Wives season 19, Janelle, 55, tells Christine, 52, that she enjoys polygamy and would be open to polygamy again. Unlike Christine and Mary, who often feel neglected by Kody, Janelle appreciated that Cody only came every few nights. She felt that it provided her with a level of independence that she really appreciated.
Robyn Cody and Janelle Believe
Is he delusional?
As Kody's last remaining wife, Robyn doesn't want to spend the rest of her life alone with Cody. The Sister Wives The star married Kody to be part of the extended family, so she's not interested in being his only wife. With Christine now remarried and Cody no longer attracted to Mary, Janelle is Robin's only hope. Robyn encouraged Kody to try to make amends with Janelle, or Kody's marriage to Robin could be doomed.
