Season 18 of ‘Sister Wives’ is giving an in-depth look at the failed relationships between Kody and three of his wives. But which ones are still friends?
Over the course of Sister Wives’ 18 seasons, a lot has changed. Kody Brown, who has now been divorced three times, is still engaged to Robyn Brown; the two became spiritually wed in 2010.
His ex-wives Christine Brown, Janelle Brown, and Meri Brown, who still appear on Sister Wives despite their relationships with Kody being over, are the other stars of the TLC smash show. Their complicated friendships with Kody and one another might come to an end, or they might not.
Which sister wives are still friends after the divorces?
In Season 18, it becomes clear that Robyn’s long-held fantasy of spending time on a porch with her sister spouses, children, and grandchildren will not come true any time soon because everyone else has moved on. Janelle seems to be single as of February 13, 2023, Christine is currently engaged to David Woolley, and Meri is “committed to inner peace, growth, self love and gratitude.”
Despite the disagreements and problems that have developed over time, some partnerships have endured while others have ended up swiftly. The relationship between Janelle and Christine may be the one that is the strongest. Christine and Robyn, on the other hand, are in a relationship that is hopeless.
“I feel like we really did have the potential of just having a great relationship. And I just never understood why we couldn’t,” Robyn says during a Sister Wives confessional.
Christine shares a confessional of her own, which paints a different picture. “If it bothered her that she didn’t have a relationship with me, she should’ve said, ‘Hey, why don’t we have a relationship? Can we be friends?,’” says Christine. “But I want you to know, I would’ve rejected her friendship anyway.”
Which sister wives are still friends with Meri?
The other spouses are not exactly friendly with Meri, Kody’s most recent ex. In December 2022, Christine acknowledged that she had ended her friendship with Meri voluntarily.
“I cut it off. “I ended it because it wasn’t safe for me anymore and I just said, ‘No, we’re not going to be friends because I don’t trust you and I’m not gonna do that to myself anymore,'” Christine told Sukanya Krishnan during a reunion special.
Even though they are no longer friends, Christine still brings up Meri. In a Season 18 episode that aired on September 17, Meri talked about her intentions to visit Utah, and Christine referred to Kody’s treatment of Meri as “very sad.”
“I saw Kody string Meri along for years and it was mean and cruel, and I saw that he would’ve done the same thing to me if I would’ve stayed,” she says.
Meri and Robyn continued to have a bond, and planned to “stick it out” and “rebuild” at the end of Season 17. Now, the two are at odds, and Meri, “regrets bringing Robyn into the family.”
Where all of these relationships go from here is anyone’s guess!
