Janelle’s kids ‘orbit’ around Christine

Christine says, “I didn’t know so much responsibility was on my choice. I mean, I’m sorry for then making it, so Janelle’s not gonna be here too. Because it sounds like I’m kind of the theme. But I said I don’t feel guilty. I chose right for what I needed to do.”

Janelle tells Christine, “Since the beginning, you’ve been such a big part of their lives. My kids, they kind of are in orbit around you as much as they’re in orbit around me.”

Janelle tells the cameras, “There’s a really special something for me with my kids about Christine. She was their primary parental figure at home for so many years while I worked. So they are really attached to her.”

Many Sister Wives fans think this could mean that Janelle could leave Kody to be near Christine now that she has left Kody and moved from Flagstaff, Arizona, to Utah. Since Meri looks content in her platonic marriage to Kody, Janelle seems like she could be the next wife to leave Kody.
