Christine reveals which wife she “ended” her relationship with, Kody calls her “manipulation” and the other wives question if the exes are really “divorced” in the eyes of the church.
The most recent season of “Sister Wives” was a tumultuous one for Kody Brown and her now dwindling wives.
In the first part of the family’s “Sister Wives: One on One” special, Kody, Christine, Meri, Janelle and Robyn take a look at the family drama that unfolded during the show’s fifteenth season, with a very special focus on Christine. she officially leaves her plural marriage forever. All five were interviewed separately for the show.
Christine was at the center of most conversations during this hour, as host Sukanya Krishnan tried to dig deeper with her, her ex, and the other women about what led to her shocking decision to get out of their deal. One of the first things Krishnan mentioned was that Kody told Christine before the break that he wasn’t attracted to her anymore because she wasn’t “loyal” to him.

“Hearing that he wasn’t attracted to me was terrible to hear and it’s super embarrassing right?” Christina said. “I got to thinking, he just goes both ways. After he said that, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m done and that’s it.'” It was almost a relief, I’m not going to keep fighting this and keep trying if you’re not attracted to me.”
Kody, however, told the host that she felt like her ex was “playing a game.” “From the moment we got married, manipulation, pouting, tantrums, just behavioral stuff,” she added, before claiming that Christine “lost her s—” when she told him that she hoped to reconcile with Meri after their catfishing scandal. . We didn’t get a full reaction to that claim this episode, but a promo for Part 2 included Christine saying, “That’s really frustrating and offensive right now. There’s no way I’m not going to support him and Meri have a great relationship.” . . I would never do that.”
Kody explained that she “didn’t feel like it had to end”, when asked why it took her so long to accept the inevitable.
“We’re not talking about destroying her and my intimate relationship, we’re talking about destroying this whole family bond,” he added, saying: “And it’s weird that there’s only one person who can do that.”

“I knew she wasn’t happy,” Janelle said when asked about the split. “I know, especially during Covid, there were even more wedges. I think she finally got to the point where she knew that for her own happiness and self-preservation she needed to do something.”
Meanwhile, Robyn said she would “march [Kody’s] messing with a therapist” if he ever started experiencing some of the intimacy issues he and Christine were dealing with, saying it would have forced him to “work these things out.” He also said he believes their “attraction” is based on one person’s behaviour, saying that she has seen him “just melt” after fights with some of the other wives if they are able to “work something out and she is understanding and kind”.
The newer wife then opened a new can of worms by saying Christine told her she “doesn’t want a relationship with me” in the future, adding that it’s been “horrible and difficult.”
“I don’t know how to stop being my sister wife. It was very, very hard. I always thought Christine would open up to me. When she said she was leaving, she took away a big dream from me.” for me,” Robyn continued. “I always imagined when we were older, sitting there with our grandchildren and getting that sisterhood that we see some of these older women have in our church. She took it off.”
He added that if Christine believes that Robyn “sabotaged” her relationship with Kody, “she’s wrong”, proclaiming that “all I’ve done is support her relationship with Kody.”

Christine was the first to admit that she hasn’t had a “good relationship” with Meri or Robyn “for years,” though she also didn’t think things between them were necessarily “bad.” But more recently, she “ended up” with Meri completely.
“I ended the friendship, I ended the relationship. It wasn’t safe for me and I ended it,” Christine said. “I just told him straight out, ‘No, we’re not going to be friends because I don’t trust you and I’m not going to do that to myself anymore.'”
“We tried a little here and there in Las Vegas, but his treatment of me was not pleasant,” he added. “She wouldn’t be nice to me. She put me down a lot in public situations. When I hit my wall, I was done. I never knew who to wait for and it was too stressful.”

Meri, Janelle, and Robyn also discussed whether Kody and Christine are technically “divorced.” Although the two are not married in the eyes of the law, they were spiritually close. After she decided to leave, Christine also left the Mormon church, presenting an interesting situation for the group. In order for them to be officially “divorced” in the eyes of the church, Robyn explained, Christine had to be intimate with another man. But as Janelle pointed out, if Christine no longer subscribes to the same beliefs, does that matter?
“If she’s going to have… her plan is to go find her soul mate, so that would break their bond.” [with Kody]Robyn said.
“In our church you have to go through channels to get released… but Christine doesn’t believe in that anymore. But a contract is between two people,” Janelle added, explaining the conundrum. “Does that apply to Christine if she doesn’t believe? I don’t know. You can’t make someone abide by rules she doesn’t believe in anymore.”
He said he thinks Christine is “looking for that deep connection, that deep togetherness” in the future, and he hopes to one day ask her, “Are you happy? Did you find someone who can finally give you deep fulfillment?”
The rest of the hour revolved around the Meri-Christine-Kody make-up situation, but all the footage was released before the special. You can get a summary of what happened here.
