Janelle was the second wife to leave, but could she be the first to come back?Another wife down. If you’ve been watching this season of Sister Wives, there’s no question that there’s still bad blood between Janelle and Kody. But when did Janelle leave Kody from Sister Wives and why did they end their near-20-year marriage? Her reason isn’t the same as the other sister wives.

Janelle and Kody Brown—two stars from TLC’s Sister Wives—married in 1993. Janelle is Kody’s second wife. Kody married his first wife, Meri, in 1990. He married third wife, Christine, in 1994, followed by his fourth wife, Robyn, in 2010. Kody and Janelle wed in a spiritual ceremony and were never legally married. Meri was the only wife legally married to Kody until 2014 when they divorced, so Kody could legally marry Robyn and adopt her three children from her previous marriage.

Janelle and Kody share six children together: Logan, born in 1994; Madison, born in 1995; Hunter, born in 1997; Garrison, born in 1998; Gabriel, born in 2001; and Savannah, born in 2004. After almost 20 years together, Janelle and Kody announced their separation in Sister Wives Season 17. The split came a year after Kody’s breakup with Christine in November 2021. Meri announced her breakup with Kody in January 2023, a month after his split from Janelle became public. But where are Janelle and Kody and could they get back together? Read on for what we know about when Janelle left Kody from Sister Wives and why she ended their relationship after almost two decades together.
