“He’s never come to me and said, ‘Hey, I love you. I miss you. I want to get this back together.'”
After months of separation, Kody Brown expresses his desire to reconcile with Janelle Brown in the latest episode of “Sister Wives”.
starts with the 18-year-old father recounting how he had previously asked his divorced wife if she wanted to get back together.
“I once asked Janelle, ‘What is it?'” How come we can’t get along? Let’s attempt to make amends. “Why can’t we?” he exclaims.
The 54-year-old continues to mentally mimic Janelle Brown’s reply.
“‘Well, I don’t know what your relationships with Robyn and Meri are, but I’m just not interested in being involved with those people,’” he says, pretending to be Janelle Brown.
A disappointed Kody Brown then expresses his reaction to his estranged wife’s response, saying, “That’s sad because that’s the deal we made about plural marriage.”
Next, Janelle Brown tells her side of the story in a confessional interview.
“If we’re not together, then I don’t know why I would nurture a relationship with Robyn and Meri. There’s not a lot in common. There’s nowhere that we cross over. I don’t know why I would do that,” she says.
The 54-year-old continues to explain her point of view and suggests that Kody Brown’s request to reconcile is an attempt to “excuse his behavior.”
“(It’s like he’s saying) ‘Why would I want to get back together with you? It’s your fault. You’ll be a bad sister wife. I have to protect Robyn.’ You know, because he doesn’t have a relationship with Meri. ‘I have to protect Robyn against you, you bad sister wife,'” she says while impersonating her husband.
The mother of six goes on to lament how Kody Brown’s intentions don’t seem to be genuine.
(The) reality is, he’s never come to me and said, ‘Hey, I love you. I miss you. I want to get this back together.’ It’s always about, ‘Don’t you want to get the family back together?’ so that his life can run smoothly again. And I’m done with that. I really am,” she says.
In the meantime, Kody Brown considers in his own confessional the tense situation of his multiracial family.
“It’s unwinding, and I’m unable to put the jigsaw pieces back together, which is sad. However, it hurts every time, so I’m going to ask her again next week if we might be able to get back together. Every time, it’s like, ‘Nope,’ so maybe I should take it more seriously,” he says.
On “Sister Wives,” Season 18, Janelle Brown has been open about her disinterest in getting back together. Without her spouse present, she claims to feel “more at peace” and that she doesn’t see a “path forward” for their marriage.
In one recent episode, she told Kody Brown she wanted to stay separated. She also told her former sister wife and pal Christine Brown that she no longer wants to be married.
