‘Sister Wives’ Star Aurora Brown Reached a Milestone With Her First Boyfriend in 2025

Katie Joy from Without a Crystal Ball on Instagram went off and dug up more details than fans see on the TLC show. Next, she posted a photo of Aurora Brown with a rifle. She’d gotten it from the boyfriend’s social media where, on September 7, he shared about them dating for a year.

Katie Joy wasn’t tolling Aurora or her boyfriend, and asked about the type of weapon that Aurora held. She wondered if it might be the type of gun that Kody Brown sells. In her caption, she wrote:

Aurora Brown has a boyfriend named Brodie Utley. He appears to be in the military and lives in Flagstaff – though may be originally from New Mexico. He shared a series of photos of them in a carousel – with this photo. I wondered if these are the guns that Kody sells? Looks like AR-15 style. There is a silencer as well. Anyone know any details?

Well, Brodie turned up in the comments and told her about the weapon.

Very politely, Aurora Brown’s boyfriend responded in the comments and confirmed the type of rifle. Notably, it doesn’t seem to be one that Kody owned. He told the blogger, “Hello ma’am, that gun is mine. It is an AR-15 with a suppressor. 100% legal and registered to me. I use it for hunting and just having fun out at the rifle range.”

Some people hated the idea of guns, but the guy’s in the military. And, many Sister Wives fans appreciate that sort of service, especially as Garrison Brown served in the National Guard.

One fan replied to Brodie Utley, saying, “@brodieutley perfect response. Polite and accountable. Well done mate.”

But That’s Not What Fans Are Focused On…

After Brodie’s posts, several viewers began noticing something different about Aurora lately. Some pointed out that she’s been looking “glowing” and “softer” in recent photos, sparking whispers that there might be more than just romance blossoming between the two.

Others speculated that the long-term nature of their relationship — already a year in — and the way her family has been unusually quiet about it might mean something they’re keeping private for now.

One commenter wrote:

“She just looks so happy and radiant lately… is there some big news coming soon?”

A Private Life in the Spotlight

Brodie’s Instagram shows he’s an outdoorsy, grounded guy — into hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and spending time on what looks like a family ranch. He seems mature, stable, and ready for commitment — qualities that could be appealing to someone like Aurora, who’s often portrayed as shy and sensitive.

Whether it’s love or something more, fans can’t help but wonder if Aurora Brown’s life is about to take a major turn — one that could surprise everyone in the Sister Wives universe.
