What’s next for Christine?
Christine reacts to the Sister Wives fans who are happy that she’s out of the marriage.

There was sadness for sure.” She said, “This is a journey, and I’m just in it. We’re all just in it. It’s hard.”
The mother of six says, “It’s really hard to know what to do all of the time and what to say all of the time.” The Sister Wives star is currently living in Murray, Utah, with her 10-year-old daughter, Truely.
