Season 17 of “Sister Wives” delved into the strained relationship between Janelle and Kody Brown, leading to their separation announcement in December 2022. In the latest season of the reality series, Janelle admits that their fractured marriage is due to Kody’s estrangement from their children. She reveals that a big part of their relationship was Kody’s involvement as a father, but he no longer wants to be one, leaving her confused about who he is now. The couple was once part of a happy plural marriage and have six children together, with their firstborn Logan Brown being engaged to his girlfriend Michelle Petty after three years of dating. Logan proposed to Michelle in Austin, Texas, and shared the story of their engagement with TLC.

Janelle Brown helped the lovebirds celebrate the construction of their new home in Las Vegas back in July 2022. Logan Brown, who is now 29, tied the knot with Petty in October 2022 and his proud mother couldn’t help but share photos from the event. In one of her posts on social media, she expressed her joy for the newlyweds and joked about the family’s legendary dancing skills causing them to sweat. A month later, Janelle joined the couple for Thanksgiving at their new home, which raised eyebrows among fans as she appeared to be spending time away from her husband, Kody Brown, whom she has separated from. On Logan’s Instagram profile, he describes himself as a “student of gentlemanliness and sophisticated rowdiness” and admits to being a coffee addict, as well as a lover of whiskey and beer.

Madison Brown Brush, the daughter of Janelle and Kody Brown, has a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She is married to Caleb Brush and they have three children together. Despite her parents’ choice to live in a plural marriage, Madison and Caleb opted for a monogamous relationship. Their second child, Evie, was born with a rare genetic syndrome that caused issues with her bone development, leading to the amputation of her foot in 2020. Madison gave birth to their third child, Josephine, in 2023.

Hunter Brown, Janelle and Kody’s third child, graduated in the top 10% of the U.S. Air Force Academy and went on to complete his Master’s in Nursing at Johns Hopkins. He recently moved closer to his mother after being away for seven years and has been dating Audrey Hubert. Garrison Brown, Janelle and Kody’s fourth child, appears to be handy and enjoys carpentry. He helps around the house and is fond of his family’s pets. His father’s estrangement from the family, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to be a divisive topic among the family members.

Gabriel Brown, the second youngest child of Janelle and Kody Brown, was born in the year 2001. He shares a close bond with his elder brother Garrison Brown and sought his assistance when he faced car troubles in 2022. Janelle Brown expressed her joy at raising boys who are willing to help each other out. Gabe also donated his long hair to charity in the same year, earning praise from his mother for his “new fresh look.” Janelle shared a video of Gabe’s 21st birthday celebrations.
During Season 17 of “Sister Wives,” Gabe discussed the strained relationship with his father, Kody Brown, and why he stopped talking to him. Gabe revealed that his father forgot his birthday after he contracted COVID-19. Though Kody attempted to make amends, it was too late, and Gabe had already ceased communication with him. Gabe and his brother, Garrison, also disagreed with Kody’s strict COVID-19 protocols, leading to further estrangement. According to Janelle, Kody demanded that they apologize and grovel, which neither Gabe nor Garrison were willing to do.

Janelle Brown, one of the stars of “Sister Wives,” has a daughter named Savanah who was born in 2004. Janelle often shares photos and videos of her and Savanah enjoying vacations together.

Savanah turned 18 in December 2022, and Janelle celebrated by sharing a video of her blowing out the candles on her cake. In May 2023, Janelle and Savanah visited Christine Brown and her fiancé, David Woolley, in Utah and went on an off-roading adventure. The duo shared several videos from the outing, with Savanah appearing to enjoy the bumpy ride while her mom provided nervous commentary.
