Christine Brown tells Kody she’s moving to Utah in ‘Sister Wives’ exclusive clip
The couple's breakup plays out in the latest season of the TLC reality show.
In the upcoming episode of "Sister Wives," which will air on TLC on September 18 at 10 p.m. Eastern Time and Pacific Time (ET/PT), Christine Brown is getting ready to make a huge step to solve the issues that have arisen in her multiple marriage.
In the episode that aired on September 18 of the TLC series, the reality star revealed to her soon-to-be-ex-husband that she is in the process of packing her belongings and moving out of their shared residence. The couple had previously disclosed that they were divorcing in November 2021.
TODAY was provided with an exclusive film in which it begins with the 50-year-old stating to the 53-year-old that from this point forward, they are just going to be friends. She then reveals that she will be relocating to Salt Lake City from Arizona, which is where Brown and his wife now call home.
It would indicate that Kody is not fond of the concept. He expressed his thoughts by saying, "I'm really not in the mentality of becoming pals."
Kody provided an explanation for his worries by stating that he was considering the experiences of two of his prior lovers, Janelle Brown and Robyn Brown (he is officially married to Robyn), both of whom experienced conflict with the partners they had previously been with.
"They do not maintain healthy connections with any of their previous partners. I really hope that doesn't take place in this location. I don't want Christine to go around the country telling people that I'm a terrible person because I don't want her to do that "he added.

The former couple was married for a total of six times throughout the course of their 25-year marriage. Kody expresses concern that it would be difficult for him to visit his youngest kid if Christine moves to Salt Lake City, which is eight hours away from where he resides. This is in response to Christine's announcement that she will be moving.
He says, "That's sort of unrealistic for us given the circumstances with our kids." "That's sort of unrealistic for us."
After that, Kody asks Christine the following question: "Would we be splitting up if you didn't need to travel to Utah?"
The way Christine responded gives the impression that she does not believe their marriage was going to last regardless of what happened.
She utters the following phrase: "I don't know, but I think that we wouldn't last."
Christine Brown alleges Kody Brown has a ‘favorite wife’ in ‘Sister Wives’ debut
Christine Brown of "Sister Wives" and Kody Brown have decided to end their marriage. After spending the last 25 years in a plural marriage with Kody, Christine declared her intentions to quit her marriage in a post on Instagram in November of 2021. This information is not new to followers of the show "Sister Wives."
On the other hand, Season 17, which debuted on TLC on September 11th, delves into the debates that took place behind the scenes and led up to Christine's choice.
A lengthy talk that the couple had with one another about what went wrong in their marriage serves as the primary focus of the first episode, which is titled "It's Over."
Following Kody's request for a "romance-free" marriage, Christine makes the decision to remove his belongings from their bedroom. This sets the stage for the subsequent events of the story.
"We have reached the end of the passionate stage of our marriage. To tell you the truth, I can't stand the thought of it happening. It is not acceptable to me to remain in a marriage in which there is no physical or sexual closeness. That's not even close to being a marriage. In the conclusion of the sixteenth season of "Sister Wives," Christine states that she is not interested in a "half marriage," "partial marriage," or "whatever we have."
In the first episode of Season 17, Christine shares with Kody the news that she, too, is no longer interested in having a "intimate marriage" with him. Christine remarks, with reference to the couple's sexual activity, that "a couple of times a year doesn't work for a marriage." Kody stretches out in his seat and leans back. "You say, 'Every once in a while. It makes me feel as if I'm being accused.
During an interview, she faced the camera and gave an explanation of the factors that went into her choice "I'd rather not have Kody in here with me. My anxiety level has increased to the point where being in his presence causes me stress."
In 1994, Kody and Christine had their "spiritual" wedding, which resulted in Christine becoming Kody's third wife. At that time, Kody was already "spiritually" wedded to his second wife Janelle, in addition to being legally married to his first wife Meri Brown. Robyn Brown, his fourth wife, is now his officially recognized spouse as of today.
Kody and Christine have been together for almost 25 years, and throughout that time, they have been blessed with six children: Aspyn, Mykelti, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, Paedon, and Truely.
Throughout the chat, Kody and Christine make an effort to get to the bottom of the challenges that they are having with their intimate relationships. Christine believes that Kody told her that their romantic connection was finished, but Kody refutes this accusation, saying, "I just shrugged my shoulders." "I did not inform you that it was finished," he replies to her.
When asked if they were going to have an intimate marriage, Christine's response was, "I don't want to be married to a guy who's just shrugging his shoulders when I'm asking him if we're going to have an intimate marriage... bull—-t that."
Kody places the responsibility on the fact that he learned Christine had expressed her dissatisfaction with their marriage to other parties.
An aside interview reveals that he had this to say about his response to the question: "I shrug my shoulders because I'm not going to be playing about with a woman who's talking about leaving me."
But Christine claims that the issues they've been having go far further back than this most recent catastrophe. She claims that she started having problems while she was pregnant with Truely in the year 2010. ""I was overwhelmed with everything," Christine claimed, adding that when she begged Kody for help, he told her, "I can't do that. " There are other houses where I am."
Kody refutes her accusations as follows: "That did not occur at any time. As I reflect on this and evaluate what she was saying, I see that she did not treat other women in a fair manner. She had an appetite for more. She was making demands that I was unable to fulfill because I was already married to other women."
The debate also touches on Kody's previous marriages to a number of other women. The "reason he's not attracted" to Christine, according to Kody, is because he believes she does not treat her other sister spouses with "kindness and respect," and that she "complains about plural marriage."
