Janelle Brown Opens Up About Her Mom’s Marriage To Kody’s Dad
Polygamist families often feature varying degrees of intermarriage. As for the Sister Wives cast, Kody and Janelle Brown weren’t just spiritually married. They were also step-siblings.
Kody and Janelle didn’t meet until adulthood, so their step-sibling dynamic didn’t stand in the way of their union. But even so, plenty of Sister Wives viewers have found the connection too bizarre for comfort.
During last night’s new episode, Janelle touched on her mother’s marriage to Winn Brown.
Janelle Brown Reveals How Her Mother Met Kody’s Dad
Kody Brown’s father Winn didn’t take on additional wives until later in life. However, this also prompted Kody to eventually adopt polygamy too. After marrying Meri, he went on to marry Janelle, Christine, and eventually Robyn several years later.
So how exactly did Kody and Janelle become step-siblings in the first place?
During last night’s episode, Janelle tagged along with Christine and some of their daughters to look at wedding dresses. As Christine tried on the gowns, Janelle reflected on her own weddings. She was first married to Adam Barber from 1988-1990 and then married Kody in 1993.
“I actually didn’t have a wedding dress,” she told cameras in a confessional. “When Kody and I got married, my family was very upset with my decision to join the faith, so most of my family was not talking to me or associating with me.”
“My mom was at the wedding because she came to save me from the polygamist and ended up marrying Kody’s dad three months before we got married. So my mom was obviously OK with it, but the rest of my family was really not OK with it. So they didn’t, they didn’t come,” Janelle admitted.
The TLC Star’s Polygamist Days Are Behind Her
Although Janelle Brown expressed a strong interest in polygamy in the 90s, she knows those days are long behind her. In fact, she isn’t entirely sure she wants to remarry someday. Since leaving Kody, Janelle’s been laser-focused on her businesses, children, and grandchildren.
But if she does remarry, it’s going to be a very casual event.
“If I get married again, I’m probably not going to have a dress. I’m not going to do the big white dress. I mean, I’m probably honestly going to just get married on a mountain in my jeans somewhere,” the TLC star shared in a confessional.
