Christine Brown Reveals She Was ‘Heartbroken’ for Years in Marriage to Kody Brown!

Christine Brown gets real about why she decided to end her marriage to Kody Brown in the upcoming episode of Sister Wives. 

In a sneak peek clip from Sunday’s episode, Christine, 50, opens up to her ex about why she decided to walk away from their spiritual marriage.

“I did love the idea of a family. Of having sister wives, of raising kids together,” Christine tells Kody, in the preview. “It is an important part of a plural family, that each relationship and each marriage is strong too. We always talk about the spokes in a wheel, and when there’s a spoke that’s broken, how do we keep it going?”

Christine goes on in a confessional spot, expressing that she once loved being part of the large family and sharing life alongside Kody’s other three wives and their children. 

“I did so much for the family,” Christine recalls. “It was all about having family functions and family get-togethers and family parties. My house was always open to everybody. I loved the big family activities that we had. The big family is great. But when you feel like you’re a minimal person in Kody’s big picture, and you really don’t even matter in the big picture, it changes the perspective on everything.”

Christine and Kody, 53, announced that they had called it quits in November 2021. They share six children, daughters Aspyn, 27, Mykelti, 26, Gwendlyn, 21, Ysabel, 19, and Truely, 12, and son Paedon, 24.

Kody accuses Christine of ignoring the “big picture” regarding the family for her own purposes, but she denies the claim.

“I’ve been heartbroken for years,” she says. “I was tired of being heartbroken. Just tired. You don’t think I stayed for the big picture as long as I did? Because I wanted it to work?”

Kody seemingly rejects Christine’s explanation, before sharing more about his own feelings.   

“I think I’m angry because when you get divorced you’re supposed to be,” Kody says in a personal interview. “If I really boil it down, if I bring it to the core of what’s going on, it feels like after all I have done, I’m being rejected anyway. And it’s just not rejection for me, it’s rejection for some of my kids and my other wives.”

Christine revealed last month that she was surprised by Kody’s behavior during their breakup, especially when he told the other wives that he expected them to “conform to patriarchy again” in the wake of her exit.  

“It’s so shocking and surprising because he’s not like that. … I mean, back in Vegas, he was like, ‘If you ever wanna leave, we’ll figure out a way for you to leave peacefully and so we can still, like, get together with the kids and things like that,’” she told Us in October. “I think that he’s just angry and he’s processing all of this a lot different than I am because I’ve been processing leaving constantly, you know, for a year.”

Sister Wives airs on Sundays at 10 pm ET on TLC.
