Janelle Brown caught major heat in Season 16 of Sister Wives for not sitting still during the pandemic. Her husband, Kody felt she and former third wife, Christine should not travel at all. It was too risky and they should be more mindful of what they did and where they went. Yet, the two maintained they followed the CDC guidelines and that Kody was excessive. Now, Janelle is proudly flaunting her travel lifestyle without Kody by her side and she is living her best life.

Janelle Brown- Mama Bear and Risk Taker

Viewers came to know Janelle as the business-centric second wife of Kody. When Sister Wives premiered in 2010, she was very vocal about her desire to work rather than be at home. Luckily, she had two other women who helped with child-rearing. The mom of six was mainly assisted by third wife, Christine. She came in a year after Janelle wed Kody and really helped raise all of the Brown children. This created a very tight-knit bond between the two women and was very vital when the pandemic hit in 2020.

By then, there were four wives and now eighteen children, several of who were grown. They had moved to Flagstaff two years prior and still had not built on their Coyote Pass land. This meant all the wives lived at a distance from each other and all relationships were struggling. First wife Meri had grown away from the family. Admittedly, she and Kody were just friends and she split her time between Flagstaff and her Utah inn.

As for Christine and Janelle, they still had three kids each at home. They were both handed rules set by Kody that they felt were over the top. Christine still wanted to travel since she had kids out of state and the same with Janelle. When Kody questioned why she was so protective of her kids, mainly her two older sons, it was simple. She was not going to throw them out during a pandemic. Her true mama bear nature was in full swing and she was willing to choose them over Kody any day.

Janelle- Business By day, Grandma By Night

When Kody was scrutinizing Janelle Brown for traveling during the pandemic, he left out where she was going and why. She headed to North Carolina to be with their daughter, Maddie. Maddie’s daughter, Evie K. was turning one and undergoing very serious surgery associated with FATCO syndrome. Janelle was not taking a vacation but rather being there for her family. Now, she is back in North Carolina for a business trip. The benefit is she gets to spend time being a boss while seeing her grandbabies.

Maddie has two children, Axel and Evie K. with her husband Caleb Brush. Additionally, she is in business with her mom and Christine promoting Plexus. Christin’s daughter, Mykelti has just joined their little tribe, as well. Though it was a very short trip, Kody was nowhere in sight. Fans have actually asked if Kody even sees his grandkids. The Brush family came to visit right after Evie was born but since then, nothing.

There was mention of them coming in the Fall of 2020 but that was later dismissed. He also has a granddaughter in Utah via Mykelti and her husband, Tony. It does not appear Janelle even needs Kody to live her best life. During part two of the tell-all, it was made clear they are just really good friends at this point. That’s fine as this just keeps propelling her to be the best businesswoman, mother, and grandma possible.
