Kody was 25-years-old when he married 22-year-old Christine on Mar. 25, 1994. Christine was Kody’s third wife, meaning they were never legally married. The marriage they had was not legally binding and merely a spiritual one.
He and Christine share five daughters, Asypen, 26, Mykelti, 25, Gwendlyn, 20, Ysabel, 18, and Truely, 11. The Sister Wives couple also has one son, Paedon, 23. The couple has been struggling in their marriage for quite some time, especially after the family’s big move to Flagstaff, Arizona.
In the Sister Wives Season 16 trailer, Christine expressed that she wanted to move back to Utah as the rest of the family was preparing the move to Coyote Pass. Sister Wives fans will have to watch season 16 to see the moments leading up to Kody and Christine’s separation, premiering Nov. 21 at 10:00 pm ET on TLC.
