- Here’s what we know about Janelle’s life since leaving Kody.
- TLC’s “Sister Wives” star Janelle Brown surprised fans when she announced that she and Kody Brown were separated in a tell-all special for the show that aired in December 2022. And in August 2023, Janelle confirmed that her decades-long relationship with Kody was officially over in an interview with People ahead of the season 18 premiere of the reality show.
While Janelle and Kody were never legally married, the two “spiritually” married in 1993 when she became his second wife. Their union came three years after he legally married his first wife, Meri, who he later divorced in order to legally marry Robyn, the only one of his wives he’s still with at this point. Janelle has six kids with Kody, ranging in age from 18 to 29.
According to her August interview with People, the fight that made Janelle realize she was ready to separate from Kody was filmed in December 2021. So, Janelle has been effectively single for almost two years now. Here’s what Janelle’s life looks like today.
Where does Janelle Brown live?

She’d been hoping that living there would inspire her and Kody to build their home on the property quickly. But as she explained on season 18, which TLC confirmed to Insider was filmed in late 2021, she decided to rent an apartment for her and her daughter Savannah to live in for the winter of that year. That apartment was located in downtown Flagstaff.
Janelle appears to still live in Flagstaff today, according to her latest social-media activity and the glimpses she’s shared of her home on Instagram. It’s unclear whether she bought her current property or if she rents it.
In an April 2023 Instagram post, Janelle shared a photo of her current home’s patio. “I splurged on some patio furniture this year and I’m loving my coffee ‘on the patio’ this cool peaceful Sunday morning,” she wrote.
Even though she’s put down roots in a new home, Janelle still loves her RV. In a May 2023 Instagram post, she shared a photo of it and explained that she still uses it in warm weather months. She also shared a video of herself in front of the RV in August.
While her permanent base seems to still be in Flagstaff (for now), Janelle has been enjoying her travels this year. She attended the Grand Ole Opry during a Nashville trip in June and traveled to Florida with her sister in July.
What does Janelle Brown do for a living?
The former real-estate agent has been a certified health coach since 2019, per her business website, Strive with Janelle. According to her site, she’s certified with the Insitute for Integrative Nutrition.

“I really do love the freedom and the independence that it gave me,” she said, though she added that she’s unsure many men can “pull it off” these days.
