Summary
After 29 years of marriage,Sister WivesstarJanelle Brownleft Kody Brown in 2022, and she has since worked to maintain a very close relationship with her children. 55-year-old Janelle was Kody’s second wife, and they had six children together, though sadly, their 25-year-old son, Garrison Brown, tragically passed away in March. Between all four of his wives, Kody had 18 children in total, and the series has chronicled the family’s trials and tribulations since its premiere in 2010.
The Browns were supposed to be the picture of a functional polygamist family. The liberal-mindedBrowns couldn’t have been further from the images of the fundamentalist Mormon sectsthat had become synonymous with American polygamy. Instead of presenting the perfect face of polygamy,Sister Wivesdocumented the unraveling of the Brown family as, one by one,three of Kody’s four wives walked awayfrom their plural marriage. While Kody has struggled to stay connected to his children, Janelle has kept her children and grandchildren close as she mourns Garrison’s death.
