Big news for fans of the hit TLC show Sister Wives as third wife Christine Brown announced Tuesday afternoon that she is leaving husband Kody Brown after over 25 years together.
Viewers of the series will know Kody has had a rocky past few years trying to keep his family together amidst controversies, arguments, and several moves across the country.
Kody and Christine share six children together — Asypen, 26, Mykelti, 25, Paedon, 23, Gwendlyn, 20, Ysabel, 18, and Truely, 11.
It's no secret to viewers of the series that the four wives didn't always get along, and after years of Kody's rumored favoritism for Robyn, a source is alleging she was a catalyst for the split.
"After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave," the 49-year-old shared.
"At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family."
"We enjoyed many years together and I have a large amount of respect and admiration for her. Although we are moving forward on different paths, we will always remain committed parents," he added.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kody was reportedly seeing certain wives less while spending more time with Robyn.
"The big reason why she split from him is because Kody has been completed devoted to Robyn [Brown] for the past five or six years. That hasn’t changed at all."
According to the source, Kody's world "completely stopped" when she entered the picture... He was devoted to being polygamous so he kept that going for as long as he could."
As for Christine, the source said the 49-year-old is heartbroken. "[Christine’s] really hurting. She really loved Kody. She gave him her all in hope that he would love her.'
"It’s been his ticket to freedom essentially. This destroyed Christine because she really tried to give her all to the marriage," the source added.
While this was no doubt a difficult decision for the mom of six, we're happy Christine is doing what is best for her and her family!
