Keep reading for the sizzling gossip.
Kody Brown finally let the cat out of the bag on the situation with one of his wives Janelle. "I am separated from Janelle, And I'm divorced from Christine Brown."
Janelle also confirmed the reports from her end. She entered the polygamous marriage with Brown in 1993 and spent 29 years as one of his four wives until their separation several months ago. This news is a huge shock to the show's fans, as another sister's wife, Christine Brown, announced the end of her 25-year "spiritual union" to Kody just one year ago.
The fandom saw Kody urging and begging Janelle to work on having a stronger bond with him after the latter admitted to questioning the arrangement for a few years now in an episode shown earlier this month.
"I never thought that I would ever be in a place where I would be questioning my relationship, but the last few years, I began to wonder if we're compatible anymore."
They've also butted heads over Kody's strict COVID-19 rules a couple of times, claiming that she doesn't need to be "beaten" into submission on one occasion when Kody accused her of failing to comply with the family's rules.
"This is the same ol' argument. I don't need to be beaten into submission, made to kowtow. I'm just not. I just don't need this."
She then went on to reveal some sort of epiphany she's been having for 18 months now which made her realize she's "pretty good and independent" and she won't continue to "stand here and be yelled at."
"I just don't need it, I don't deserve it, and I don't need it." Janelle reiterated in the episode.
The 53-year-old also cited how they've never had this much conflict, referenced Christine's exit, and further questioned the future of the family.
"I just think we've never had divided this deep. Christine has left, and that's obviously a very, very big departure for what our family has looked like for many years...Can we hold it together with all of this?"
Kody, who has 18 children in total, shares six children with Janelle: Logan, Madison, Hunter, Garrison, Gabriel, and Savannah.
He was also married to Christine, who divorced him a year ago, and is still in a polygamous arrangement with Robyn and Meri Brown, although the relationship between Meri and Kody is now platonic.
