Two of the stars of TLC Sister wives reveal their relationship status with their other ex-sister wives.

Throughout the last season of Sister wivesfans have seen the Brown family continue to fall apart as Christine Brown, Janelle Brown and Mary Brown left the home they once shared with their husband Cody Brown and his wife Robin Brown.

Now women are no longer involved in a polygamous relationship and have instead moved on with their own separate lives. The only sister-wife who remains married to Cody is Robin.

During a recent episode of “Deceptive energy,” podcast on iHeart, Kristin and Janelle, who have remained friends and still consider themselves “family” despite leaving Cody, opened up about their relationship with Mary and Robyn.

Kristin Brown got real with Janelle Brown about her future with Cody Brown — and the family as a whole — on the latest episode of Sister Wives. Kristin, 51, sat down with Janelle, 54, during the Sunday, Oct. 22 episode to reflect on their respective highs and lows with Cody, 54, as the polygamous (…)

“I haven’t spoken to Mary or Robin in years and it’s funny,” Christine revealed. “We’ll just leave it at that. I don’t need to develop a relationship with them.”

After marrying her husband, David Woolleyin October 2023, Kristin said that while Janelle attended the celebration, Mary and Robyn did not.

“A great thing about being older when you get married is that you really only have to invite the people you really want,” Christine continued.

“There’s no mandatory invitations to some Uncle Bob or Uncle Jed, but you’re like, ‘I really don’t want him there. He will rattle, rattle, rattle. He always does that blah, blah, blah. I shouldn’t have,” Christine said on the podcast. “We really only invited our closest friends to our wedding.”

“And you were one of our closest friends,” she told Janelle. “I’m not friends with Cody, Mary or Robin, so I didn’t have to. I just had to invite whoever I wanted.”

As for Janelle, she said she “had some interactions with Mary” and Cody because of a property owned between the three.

“I think she was really happy,” Janelle said of Mary. “She lives her own life. you know what I mean. So we worked together to sort out the ownership situation, which was nice.”

“I haven’t had any interaction with Robyn,” Janelle continued. “I didn’t look for her. I don’t really overlap her in any part of my life.”

Janelle added that she’s excited to be in control of herself moving forward, and Kristin says she’s finally found the teammate she’s been craving in her new husband.

But as the Browns go their separate ways, Cody’s relationship with the children he shares with Janelle, Mary and Christine suffers.

During the last episode of Sister wivesCody said he refuses to “cut out” his wife Robyn to have a relationship with his other children.
