Christine Brown Recalls Ex-Husband Kody Visiting Robyn After She Gave Birth: Book Excerpt
Sister Wives star Christine Brown is putting the final touches on her upcoming memoir.
“It’s getting real. 😬,” Brown, 53, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, July 24, along with hashtags of her name, “New Book Release,” “Sister Wives” and “Empowered Women Empower Women.”
Brown also uploaded footage of herself recording the audio version of the book.
“A camera crew followed Kody [Brown] leaving that day, too. He rushed home to Robyn [Brown],” Christine read aloud, referring to her ex-husband and his fourth wife. “He needed to check in on, I don’t know, the kids [or] her feelings about my labor.”
Kody, now 56, started courting Robyn, now 46, when third wife Christine was pregnant with their youngest daughter, Truley. Kody, a father of 18, and Christine split in 2021. (Kody separated from fellow wives Meri and Janelle Brown, respectively, in 2022.)
“After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave,” Christine wrote via Instagram in November 2021. “We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family. At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family. Thanks for your understanding and compassion!”
Christine, who shares six children with Kody, has since been candid about the pair’s breakup.
“The thing that I struggled with most is when I feel like I don’t have a say or when I feel like I’m not as important or things like that,” Christine exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2021. “Anytime we’ve had major decisions, I go through a time where I’m like, ‘Does my opinion really even matter here?’ That’s when we struggle the most … is when I feel like I don’t really have a say or I don’t really have an opinion.”
According to Christine, she didn’t feel like an “equal partner” in her relationship.
Christine later married David Woolley in 2023, telling Us the next year that she’s “happier than [she’s] ever been.”
“We’re totally a partnership,” Christine told Us in October 2024. “I absolutely love monogamy — I was made for it. … David and I just synced up our lives together and I feel like we’ve accomplished so much. We’ve just had a blast and it’s just been wonderful being loved and loving. It’s just been amazing.”
