‘Sister Wives’ star Christine Brown has been thriving since her divorce from Kody

Since divorcing Kody in 2021 and moving from Arizona to her hometown of Utah, Christine has been living her best life. She’s created a new life for herself and her 12-year-old daughter, Truely. More than that, Christine has also been dating.

“It’s been fun because I never really dated that much before. So dating has been a blast. I’ve loved it,” she told TODAY.com. 

Though there have been a lot of changes in her life as of late, Christine’s friendship with Janelle has been a constant in her life.

Christine revealed why she and Janelle are so close

While Christine has always had some friction with Meri and Robyn, she and Janelle have always been extremely close. In fact, prior to their separation, Kody felt intimated by Janelle’s friendship with Christine, which he says was a lack of loyalty. However, Christine is adamant that she and Janelle have a lifelong bond.

“Janelle is super supportive. She’s awesome,” Christine told TODAY.com. “She’s an incredible, incredible friend because she’ll listen and she’ll understand and she’ll comprehend. But then when it comes down to it, where I need the hard like, smackdown, (she’s there). I think it’s all about that balance that we have to hit. And I feel like I let some people in and I don’t let everybody in.”

The women have been close for more than two decades since they were married to the same man, and now that they’ve left their marriages, the duo is closer than ever. They’ve vacationed together and gone into business together.

“You name it, you know, we’ve been through it. In the end, we realized we are going to be in each other’s lives because our kids love the other person,” Christine explained.
