‘Sister Wives’ One-on-One: Part 1

In Part 1 of the Sister Wives Season 17 ‘One-on-One,’ which aired on December 18, 2022, Janelle revealed that she and her husband, Kody Brown, have separated.

The mother of six decided to leave her husband after observing how he had been treating their children. It surprised fans to find out they had separated months ago. While Kody and Janelle were never legally married, they’ve been spiritually married since 1993.

Meri revealed that Kody had decided they were divorced on their last anniversary. She called him up, and he told her it was a mistake since they were not married. She wanted to go public about Kody’s decision, but he didn’t want the negative press.

Kody and Meri were married since 1990, legally until 2004, and spiritually until 2021. Currently, Kody Brown is only spiritually or lawfully married to his fourth wife, Robyn Brown.

In the episode, Kody accuses Christine Brown, who divorced him in 2021, that she was the one who blocked his reconciliation attempt with Meri. He claims that she freaked out and put a stop to it. Christine claims it was a lie and that she would never do that.
