What Happened To Leon Brown After Sister Wives Season 18?

Leon Brown made their television debut during the 2010 premiere of the beloved unscripted series, Sister Wives, but where have they been since appearing on the show? Leon, who is transgender

was born as Mariah Brown on July 29, 1995, but stopped identifying as Mariah when they transitioned in 2022. Leon is the only child of Kody Brown and his first wife, Meri Brown. Leon’s father

married three additional women, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Robyn Brown, and had 18 children in total.

As the eldest of 18 Brown children, Leon grew up in a boisterous family, and things got even crazier when their family became subjects of Sister Wives. Leon was around 15 when Sister Wives premiered, and it must have been awkward to go through their teen years on television. Over the years, Sister Wives went on to chronicle the dissolution of the Brown family as three of Kody’s four wives divorced him, so Leon has an understandably complicated relationship with their time on the show.

In February 2023, Leon’s sister, Gwendlyn Brown, posted a YouTube video of herself reacting to an episode of Sister Wives season 17, episode 9. Gwendlyn is Kody’s daughter with Christine, his second wife. During the episode, Kody commented on Leon not fitting in with the family, and Gwendlyn vehemently disagreed. Gwendlyn explained that since Leon came out as transgender, they chose to separate themselves from the show and the family. Though Kody and his wives have said that they support same-sex marriage, the family is very Mormon, and the Mormon church has not traditionally welcomed LGBTQ people.
