The Brown family drama continues to unfold in real-time, far beyond the cameras of Flagstaff, Arizona. As of December 13, 2025, the dynamic of the former polygamous unit has shifted entirely, with Kody Brown embracing a monogamous lifestyle with his only remaining wife, Robyn, while his ex-wives, Christine, Janelle, and Meri, are forging wildly successful and independent paths.

The past year has proven to be the most transformative for the stars of the long-running TLC reality show, with major life events like weddings, new business ventures, and a complete re-evaluation of the polygamous principle dominating headlines. From Janelle’s ambitious new farm venture to Meri’s surprising re-entry into the dating world, here is the essential, up-to-the-minute breakdown of where the Sister Wives are today.
The Brown Family: A Current Snapshot (December 2025)
The core family unit has been irrevocably altered by three major separations, leading to a new, decentralized structure. The following is a quick profile of the main entities as of the latest news:
- Kody Brown: Now monogamously married to Robyn Brown. Lives in Flagstaff, Arizona. Focuses on his relationship with Robyn and attempting to repair strained connections with his older children. Recently appeared on the reality competition show Special Forces.

1. Kody Brown’s Monogamy Confession and Apology Backlash
The biggest headline in the Brown family saga is Kody's definitive shift away from the plural lifestyle.
During an April 2025 episode, Kody openly admitted that he is "not interested in plural marriage anymore," solidifying his status as a monogamous husband to Robyn Brown.
This admission comes after years of struggling to manage four separate relationships, a struggle that ultimately led to the departure of Christine, Janelle, and Meri.
The 'Special Forces' Effect
Kody's appearance on the intense reality series Special Forces served as a turning point, offering him a period of intense reflection. He has since revealed that the show helped him feel "humbled" and provided a unique opportunity to reflect on his strained relationships with his 18 children following the multiple divorces.
The Self-Serving Apology
The drama continued in December 2025 when Kody issued a public apology to his ex-wives. However, this gesture was immediately met with skepticism from both the family and viewers. Janelle Brown, in particular, was forced to address whether Kody's apology would ever tempt her to return to their relationship, a question that formed a central plot point in the latest season's discussions.
2. Janelle Brown’s Ambitious Taeda Farms Launch (Summer 2026)
Janelle Brown has completely reinvented herself as a successful entrepreneur, moving past her co-dependency on Kody and the Coyote Pass property.
Her focus has shifted entirely to her new business venture, Taeda Farms, a project she is building with her daughter, Madison "Maddie" Brown Brush.
The latest updates confirm a significant milestone: Janelle plans to open Taeda Farms to the public in the summer of 2026.
This business, which appears to be a flower and small business venture, is part of Janelle's larger move to North Carolina, where she is currently overseeing the construction of her new, independent home.
The community and fans are eagerly anticipating the launch, viewing it as a powerful symbol of Janelle’s independence and her desire to build a legacy with her children, separate from the Brown family's polygamous past.
3. Meri Brown’s New Man and Possible Spin-off Show
After a decades-long, emotionally distant relationship with Kody, Meri Brown is finally embracing her single status and re-entering the dating scene.
In a major update, Meri confirmed that she is currently seeing a man named Ron, whom she met at a speed dating event.
The relationship is reportedly progressing, with Meri sharing details about her happiness and newfound freedom.
This personal development is part of a larger career shift for Meri. Beyond running her bed and breakfast, Lizzie's Heritage Inn, she is working on a memoir and has hinted at the possibility of a new reality show focusing on her life after polygamy.
The potential for a "Meri and Ron" spin-off has generated significant buzz among the Sister Wives fanbase, eager to see her successful transition into a monogamous relationship after years of emotional turmoil.
4. Christine and David Woolley’s Newlywed Bliss and Kody’s Reaction
Christine Brown is living her "happily ever after" with her husband, David Woolley, whom she married in a "sexy, elegant" ceremony in October 2023.
The latest news focuses on the aftermath of the wedding, which was a true family affair. Notably, Janelle Brown was a part of the bridal party, cementing the strong friendship between the two ex-sister wives.
In a surprising twist, Kody and Christine met up in a recent episode, confirming that Kody is aware of and has seemingly accepted Christine's new husband.
Christine is also channeling her new life into her professional endeavors, announcing the release of her new book in September 2025, which is expected to delve into her journey of self-discovery and finding love after leaving the plural marriage.
5. Robyn Brown Considers a New Sister Wife
Despite Kody's public declaration of monogamy, the dynamic with Robyn still contains elements of their past. In a recent episode, Robyn briefly considered the possibility of another woman joining their relationship, if only for a "split second."
This moment of contemplation highlights the complex adjustment for Robyn, who spent her entire adult life believing in and practicing polygamy. The revelation comes as Kody admits he is still receiving emails from women who are interested in becoming his next wife, a fact he shared with Robyn during a November 2025 episode.
The tension between Kody’s desire for a simple, monogamous life and Robyn’s deep-seated belief in the plural principle remains a central theme, providing fresh drama for the upcoming season.
6. Season 20 of 'Sister Wives' Confirmed for Fall 2025
TLC has officially confirmed that Sister Wives will return for Season 20, promising to be "The Most Powerful Season Yet."
While the premiere date is slated for Fall 2025, the new season is expected to cover the intense fallout from the multiple divorces, including Kody's emotional journey on Special Forces, Janelle's decision to move forward with Taeda Farms, and Christine's path to marriage with David Woolley.
Fans are also speculating about a potential delay for the Season 19 trailer until 2026, indicating that the production schedule is packed with new and developing storylines.
7. The Coyote Pass Property is Finally Selling Off
The infamous Coyote Pass property in Flagstaff, Arizona, which was meant to be the Brown family's permanent home, is finally being dealt with. The sale of various parcels is a major financial and emotional entity for the family.
The sale of the land is a direct catalyst for Janelle and Maddie's decision to fully commit to their Taeda Farms business and for Janelle's move to North Carolina. The closing of the Coyote Pass chapter symbolizes the end of the Brown family as a unified, polygamous entity and the final financial separation of Kody and his former wives.
This is the final physical piece of the plural marriage dream, and its dispersal marks a definitive new era for every member of the Brown family.
