Christine Brown, a notable figure from Sister Wives, made headlines after swiftly leaving her polygamist husband, Kody Brown, and marrying David Woolley. At 52, Christine was Kody’s third wife, sharing five children with him. Their relationship began in 1994 when Kody was already bound to two other wives, Meri and Janelle Brown. The family dynamic further complicated when Kody married his fourth wife, Robyn, in 2010, later adopting her three children. Although Christine was raised in a polygamist household, adjusting to this lifestyle within her own marriage proved challenging, leading to feelings of jealousy and isolation, particularly after Robyn joined the family. By the time Sister Wives season 19 aired, fractures in the family had become evident, with Christine being the first to leave Kody in 2021. Her new relationship with David Woolley, however, has raised eyebrows about its timing and foundation.
