It’s only natural to want to know more about the Brown family, especially each of the wives.
Christine, in particular, is one of the most interesting sister-wives on the show, for numerous reasons.
Here’s what you should know about the reality star who shared her hubby with three other women.
While it may seem like an usual arrangement to most people, it wasn’t for Christine.
That’s not to stay she didn’t have concerns, though.
Christine also went on to say that the Browns just wanted better for their own children.
She continued, saying, “We haven’t raised our kids that way.
We haven’t wanted our children to feel fear like that.”
He was once married to Meri, but divorced her to adopt Robyn’s children.
Still, this union could get the remaining sister wives in trouble.
Christine was Kody’s third wife, which was exactly how she wanted it.
Christine told Anderson Cooper on his show (viaHuffPost) that she always wanted to be the third wife.
“I never wanted to just be married to a man,” she said.
“I honestly wanted sister wives more than a husband.
I wanted the whole family.
I didn’t just want Kody.”
Christine again professed her love for being a third wife in an interview with theLas Vegas Sun.
The “Sister Wives” star stated, “I’m a third wife and I love it.”
Clearly, Christine knew what she was getting herself into in entering a polygamist family.
However, the two did get to working on their own family pretty quickly after they got married.
According to TLC, Kody proposed to Christine on their first date over Valentine’s Day weekend 1994.
Just one month later, they tied the knot and soon began welcoming kids into their family.
In an interview withABC News, Christine explained how she and Kody got together.
Christine replied, “Just online.
I’ve read about it for years and I just did it.”
She continued, commenting, “And I love it!”
They share a great-great-grandparent, which makes themfourth cousins.
Although this is a distant relationship, they are still indeed blood relatives.
However, this isn’t entirely shocking for the area in which they grew up.
Not shockingly, most of the members share the same ancestors."
Meri agreed, saying, “It’s definitely a very bonding experience.
We’re sisters in that sense, and we’re very close.”
In an interview with theLas Vegas Sun, Janelle Brown explained that she enjoyed working.
“I feel very liberated,” Janelle said.
“I have a career, my independence and freedom.
With 18 kids total, it didn’t hurt that Christine enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom, right?
“My grandfather was put in prison because of his beliefs and all of his wives were separated.
It was tragic,” she told the publication.
“That truth has to end.”
“I just want to be a princess in life.”
Her husband’s other wives, however, view things differently.
“Patriarchy has a very negative connotation for me,” Janelle explained.
Whatever the reason, though, Christine demonstrated that she was both old-fashioned and progressive at the same time.
Christine alsocame under firefor posting a controversial photo of herself to advertise LuLaRoe amid nationwide protests in 2020.
But as “Sister Wives” fans know, that really doesn’t happen.
“I don’t even know Tony,” Christine said about her daughter’s fiance.
“Mykelti’s just so young …
I didn’t imagine growing up so fast, because marriage is a huge, grownup step.
I’m like, ‘You’re a baby.'”
“It’s very much a faith-based decision,” she responded.
“You need a firm connection with God.
And, when asked what inspired her, Christine’s answer was simple.
“We’re a very religious family, so Jesus,” she said.
“Jesus loved people.
He is the most courageous man I know.”
That’s one sister wife who knows exactly what she believes.
And for Christine, that was actually a pretty big concern.
At least, that’s what Kody Brown’s third wife, Christine, hinted at.
“My bratty reaction just makes me cringe,” Christinetweeted.
“I said very very logical things but …
I’m not bad, just edited that way.”
The statement said the couple would work together to continue supporting their children and “wonderful family.”
However, Christine made it clear that she wanted some space from her ex-family as she rebuilt her life.
But Kody wasn’t thrilled about it.
It didn’t have an impact on her decision, though.
She toldPeoplein August 2022, “I had an ideal childhood.
“I really believed in plural marriage and wanted to live it,” Christineshared.
“I realized I didn’t really want to live it anymore.
Her switch to monogamy seems to be a good decision for her.
She asked her Instagram followers for dating advice in January 2022writing, “I’m dating again!!
Dating online is crazy!
Any advice for dating at 50?”
The first time he held me close, it felt like my soul took it’s first breath.
He’s wonderful and kind, incredible with my children and an adorable grandpa.
I never dreamed I could find a love like this.”
She listed her $1 million Utah home for rent on around the same time.
Annie made several appearances on the show.
“I had a defining moment where I knew I was going to leave.
People don’t leave.
The relationship looked like it improved after Christine left Kody, though.
Both women appeared happy and comfortable while filming, which is hopefully a good sign.
“Being a grandma is the best.
Way better,” Christine toldPeoplein August 2022.
“They’re so chill and easy and [set] appropriate expectations for the kids.”
As of this writing, Christine sharesthree grandchildrenwith Kody Brown.
Christine has three other grandchildren, though she isn’t their biological grandmother.
“I adore being an Oma!!”
