In part 2 of the reunion, Kody thinks that Janelle and Christine have become a “clique” that isn’t welcoming to the other wives. When asked by the host if she and Janelle are in a clique, Christine answers. “I’m not trying to be. Janelle’s super easy. Janelle’s really easy. She’s lovely to get along with. We kind of just get each other after all of these years.”

Janelle said that she and Christine aren’t in a clique and that she’s by no means “excluding” anyone. And that throughout the pandemic, she was only going where she felt more “welcome,” which just happened to be with Christine.

Now that Christine has divorced Kody, she lives in Utah with her older children. Since their split, Janelle and Christine have remained close, even to the point of going on vacation together.
