Janelle Brown reveals her marriage to Kody Brown wasn’t as easy as she made it appear on ‘Sister Wives’

In a sit down alongside friend and former sister wife Christine Brown, Janelle Brown revealed her marriage to Kody Brown wasn’t as easy as she made their relationship appear on Sister Wives. The reality tv star admits the couple struggled throughout their marriage. Kody was also married to Robyn Brown and Meri Brown.

For People Magazine’s YouTube channel, Janelle explained that she left Kody Brown more than once. The couple had more difficulties in their polygamist marriage than their TLC show depicted.

“Kody and I definitely had two or three periods where…I don’t know how to explain it,” Janelle began. Christine tried to help her friend gather her thoughts by interjecting, “You would butt heads pretty severely.”

“And what would happen is,” Janelle continued, and Christine finished her sentence, “you’d separate for a little bit.” Janelle said, “I’d stay behind.”

She continued, “There was one time when everybody moved to Utah, and I wasn’t sure I would come. I did stay behind for quite a while.”

Janelle turned to Christine and said, “I know you said you were afraid I wouldn’t come.” She continued, “We would separate for a while, and then we’d figure it out for the sake of the kids.”

She concluded, “I had to consider all these children I had. I wasn’t going to take them away from that stability.
