A Closer Look At Janelle Brown’s Ex-Husband
Per the TLC family’s memoir titled Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage, Janelle met Meri’s brother Adam back in high school. Janelle got married to Adam Barber in 1988. Unfortunately, the romance between Janelle and her ex-husband was short-lived. Janelle and Adam got divorced in 1990.
The memoir did not detail the reasons why Janelle and Meri Brown’s brother got a divorce. Christine Brown and Mykelti Padron, however, claimed Adam was abusive. And, it was that abuse that resulted in the divorce. These claims of abuse, however, were never confirmed by Janelle or anyone else.
In their divorce settlement, Adam Barber ended up getting to keep ownership of three vehicles. Janelle, however, got ownership of their home. Over the years. information regarding Adam’s personal life or his career was kept under wraps. Likewise, if he had a social media profile, it was never public for Sister Wives fans to browse.
As fans know, Janelle Brown also recently split from her second husband. She, however, does not consider herself to be divorced from Kody Brown as they were never legally married on paper. The conversation came up on the show recently when Christine admitted she enjoys telling people she is divorced. Given who she divorced, Sister Wives fans couldn’t blame her.
Sister Wives: Adam Barber Dead At 54
It was Meri Brown who took to Instagram yesterday to reveal Adam Barber had passed away. He was 54 at the time of his passing. His death came just a few months before his 55th birthday.

Meri penned in her long and tragic caption:
Yesterday, Oct 5, 2023, just 2 months short of his 55th birthday, we lost him. I have so many good memories with him over the years, because, siblings. I also have some not so good memories with him through the years, because, siblings.
Presently, Janelle Brown has NOT issued a statement regarding Adam’s passing on social media. That, however, does not mean she hasn’t spoken to Meri privately about his death.
