Sister Wives star Janelle Brown always supported polygamy and never had issues with the arrangement. She stayed married to Kody for 29 years and raised six children. Before Robyn entered the picture, Janelle was Kody’s favorite wife, and everything went smoothly. However, Robyn’s arrival flipped everything upside down. Kody had three wives before marrying Robyn, and all three felt neglected and sidelined after she came into the family. The situation worsened during the pandemic, and the tension led to the eventual split.

The wives explained that the years of neglect and emotional strain drove them to leave Kody Brown. Janelle suffered another devastating blow when her son tragically passed away in 2024. However, over the years, Janelle reclaimed her independence and now pursues her dreams. She holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting, built a career as a businesswoman, and served as the Brown family’s main breadwinner for years. With her naturally laid-back and independent personality, Janelle has returned to her former self, focused on building her own life.

Sister Wives: The Real Reason Behind Janelle Brown & Kody’s Split!

Janelle and Kody were together for 29 years, but they decided to separate after he started prioritizing his fourth wife, Robyn. After the divorce, Janelle decided to focus on her dreams and ambitions and moved to North Carolina to be near her daughter, Madison. She is building her farm business and navigating life after the separation. She never wanted the marriage to end, but at that point, she had no other option.

So, what was the main reason for the separation? While many said that compatibility issues and negligence caused the split, Janelle said otherwise in Season 19. She explained how she hated the fact that Kody had problems with her kids. The issues escalated during the pandemic, particularly when he had conflicts with Gabriel and Garrison. She further added that he wouldn’t move heaven and earth to keep the family together, and that became the main source of conflict.

She put up with his negligence for years, especially during the pandemic, but eventually reached her breaking point. Janelle tried to mediate the issues, but it didn’t work out. Kody even stopped speaking to her sons. When Garrison passed away, Kody wasn’t even on speaking terms with him. After the divorce, all the kids sided with their mother, and now Kody is trying hard to reconnect with them, but it’s not that easy.

Most of them don’t even live in the same state, and as we all know, Kody isn’t very good with emotions. Janelle, on the other hand, is working on her dreams and ambitions. She is developing her 164-acre farmland in North Carolina with her kids and living her best life surrounded by friends and family. Stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for further updates.
