‘Sister Wives’: Janelle Confirms Split From Kody, Admits She’s ‘Not Heartbroken’ About It

janelle brown Y brown kody confirmed he was separated for “months” leading up to Jan. 1. sister wives, which featured one-on-one interviews with Kody and the four women. “At this point, it’s not love,” admitted Janelle. “It’s duty, it’s commitment, it’s faith that tells you to work and persevere. I think if we both sat down, we’d look at each other and say…really? Kody and I broke up and I’m happy, I’m very happy.”

Janelle said she’s started to feel “indifferent” in her nearly 30-year marriage to Kody. The couple’s troubles have intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading Kody to separate from two of the children she shares with Janelle (Gabriel Y Garrison). Gabe and Garrison didn’t want to follow the strict COVID guidelines Kody had put in place, and Kody was angry at Janelle for not taking her side in the situation.

“I think if he had really taken care of me and my kids, we would have found a way to make it work,” Janelle continued. “Instead of having your own rules and dating the wife [Robyn Brown] where he was respected and obeyed. Kody said he wanted to patch things up with Janelle, but just to get to a point where she would “respect” him. “Love doesn’t matter to me, respect matters to me,” he shared. “I want to fix it, yes. But this is a completely new business.”

Janelle was certainly relieved to put this chapter of her life with Kody behind her. “I wasn’t expecting that,” she insisted. “I kind of regretted that part of our life was gone. I wasn’t heartbroken. It wasn’t as painful for me as it was for Christine [Brown]. I just regretted that life was gone. We had a great match.”

One thing that held Janelle back, however, was her connection to her religion and faith, which requires you to make a marriage work once you’re committed. “I deeply believe in my faith,” she said. “But I’ve been so at peace that I don’t know how to reconcile it. That’s where my debate has always been. I know I’m happy. I don’t want him back, but my faith demands that we stay married forever. The door should still be open. [for that reason]But I’m not interested in letting anyone in through that door.

Janelle and Kody’s split follows Christine’s decision to divorce Kody and move away from her family to live in Utah. During another part of the one-on-one special, Kody also confirmed that he doesn’t consider himself married mary brown even more.
