The dramatic implosion of the Brown family’s polygamist life has only intensified in the years following Christine Brown’s departure. Since announcing her split from Kody Brown in November 2021, Christine has not only found a new, fulfilling monogamous relationship but has also sparked a legal and emotional firestorm that has fundamentally reshaped the entire family. The latest updates, including a shocking custody battle and the devastating loss of a son, confirm that the Brown family's journey, as documented on TLC's Sister Wives, is far from over in late December 2025.

The core narrative has flipped: the former third wife is thriving in a "fairytale" marriage, while Kody Brown is left grappling with the collapse of his plural family, now reduced to a strained monogamous union with his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown. This is the definitive, up-to-the-minute breakdown of where Christine and Kody Brown stand today, including the most recent, heartbreaking developments and ongoing legal disputes.

The Complete Biography: Christine Brown vs. Kody Brown

The rift between Christine and Kody began long before her official announcement, rooted in years of emotional distance, Kody's preferential treatment of Robyn, and his strict COVID-19 pandemic protocols. Their marriage was a spiritual union, not a legal one, which made the process of separation simpler but the emotional fallout more complex.

1. Christine's 'Fairytale' Wedding and New Monogamous Life in Utah

Christine Brown's life post-Kody has been a radical transformation, culminating in what she called a "fairytale" wedding to David Woolley. The couple met in October 2022 and went public with their romance on Valentine’s Day 2023.

The wedding, a stark contrast to her simple, religious ceremony with Kody in 1994, took place on October 7, 2023, in Moab, Utah, against the majestic red cliffs. The lavish affair featured 330 guests and was filmed for a two-part TLC special, Sister Wives: Christine & David’s Wedding, which aired in January 2024. Christine was walked down the aisle by her son, Paedon Brown, and her father, fulfilling a lifelong dream she never experienced in her first marriage.

David Woolley, a Utah businessman and grandfather of 10, has eight children of his own. Christine has repeatedly praised him for his kindness, describing him as a true partner who is "hands-on" with home projects—a subtle jab at Kody, who was often accused of only talking about plans like the Coyote Pass development but never following through. The couple bought a $770,000 home in Lehi, Utah, where they now live, close to many of Christine’s children and grandchildren, including Mykelti Brown Padron and her family.

2. The Shocking Custody Lawsuit Over Daughter Truely

Despite Christine and Kody's initial public statements about remaining committed co-parents, their relationship took a contentious turn, leading to a legal battle in late 2024. In September 2024, Christine filed a custody lawsuit against Kody in Utah, seeking child support and a legally-binding domestic agreement for their youngest daughter, Truely Brown. The suit also reportedly requested that Kody’s paternity be established, as his name was allegedly not on Truely’s birth certificate.

The former couple's court proceedings, which were set for a virtual hearing in December 2024 and a court date in May 2025, were explicitly kept off-air, though Kody was speculated to have agreed to a paternity test. The courts ordered them to attend divorce and parenting classes and encouraged mediation, highlighting the deep conflict that remains over their shared child. This custody war over Truely Brown has become the most recent and dramatic legal chapter in the Brown family's long-running public saga.

3. Kody's Monogamous Struggle and Estrangement from His Children

Christine's departure set off a "domino effect," quickly followed by Janelle Brown's separation in December 2022 and Meri Brown's split in January 2023. Kody is now left in a monogamous marriage with Robyn Brown, a lifestyle he admitted in an April 2025 episode he is "not interested in" pursuing anymore, stating he doesn't want the "headache" of seeking another sister wife.

The transition has been far from peaceful. In a September 2024 episode of Sister Wives, Kody confessed that his relationship with Robyn was "in a struggling place" and "doing the worst we’ve ever done in our marriage." Kody has also become increasingly estranged from his older children, particularly the sons of Janelle Brown. Janelle revealed in a December 2024 episode that Kody is "alienated from 90 to 95 percent of his children" and is "not really wanted at events," such as their daughter Savanah’s graduation party.

Kody has since reflected on the collapse of his plural family, stating in a September 2024 episode that he regretted not ending his relationship with Christine "as friends," which he believes would have been better for the family. He maintains hope that with time and occasional phone calls, he will be in "full fellowship" with his children again.

4. The Heartbreaking Loss of Garrison Brown

The most tragic and recent event to rock the Brown family was the death of Kody and Janelle's son, Robert Garrison Brown, who died by suicide at age 25 in March 2024. The death, which occurred in Flagstaff, Arizona, brought Kody and Janelle together to release a joint statement to share the devastating news with viewers.

Garrison's passing highlighted the deep divisions in the family, as he was one of the older children who had been estranged from his father, Kody, due to the strict COVID-19 rules and Kody's perceived favoritism toward Robyn. The tragedy served as a somber reminder of the emotional toll the family's public breakdown and internal conflicts have taken on all members, especially the 18 children.

5. The New Lives of Janelle and Meri Brown

The former sister wives are no longer a unified group, but they are all moving forward in their own ways. Christine and Janelle Brown famously remained close friends and business partners (running the Plexus supplements business) after their respective splits.

  • Janelle Brown's Independence: After separating from Kody in December 2022, Janelle has embraced her independence. She purchased an RV and lived on the Coyote Pass property for a time. In 2024, she relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina, with her daughter Madison and her family to launch a business venture called Taeda Farms. However, her relationship with Christine has reportedly "deteriorated," with Christine admitting in a late 2025 episode of Sister Wives that they were no longer in contact as much due to the distance.
  • Meri Brown's Dating Journey: Kody's first wife, Meri Brown, announced the end of her 32-year spiritual marriage in January 2023. She has since relocated from Flagstaff to Utah and has been actively dating. Meri briefly dated a man named Amos, whom she met at a speed-dating event in October 2023, but they split in early 2024. In December 2024, she debuted an apparent new relationship with a "mystery man" named Brandon Stone. Meri has been focused on her bed and breakfast, Lizzie's Heritage Inn, and a new passion project called Worthy Up.

The latest seasons of Sister Wives (Season 19 and the potential Season 20) continue to chronicle this new reality, proving that while the plural marriage is over, the complicated, co-dependent family dynamics—from custody battles to the grief of loss—are still very much a part of the Browns' life.
