The Sister Wives Now: 5 Shocking New Lives & Kody's Unexpected Monogamous Future (2025 Update)
The Brown family has fractured, but their individual lives are more dramatic and successful than ever before. As of December 23, 2025, the polygamous family structure that viewers followed for years is officially dissolved, leaving Kody Brown in a monogamous marriage with his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown. The three former sister wives—Meri, Janelle, and Christine—have all moved on, finding new homes, new businesses, and for one, a new husband.
The latest updates from 2025 confirm that the former wives are thriving: Christine is a newlywed and a burgeoning real estate investor, Janelle is launching a new farming business, and Meri is focused on personal empowerment and new relationships. Meanwhile, Kody and Robyn are navigating an "unexpected" life together in Flagstaff, still entangled with the former wives over the contentious Coyote Pass property and the ongoing estrangement from their adult children. The drama is far from over.

Christine Brown & David Woolley: The Monogamous Dream
Of all the former sister wives, Christine Brown has experienced the most visible transformation and happiness. Her 2021 decision to leave Kody Brown was the catalyst that began the family’s ultimate collapse.
A New Life in Utah and a Second Wedding
After leaving the family’s shared property in Flagstaff, Arizona, Christine relocated to Utah to be closer to her children and her extended family. Her move marked a definitive break from the plural lifestyle she had known for over 25 years. In 2023, she legally married her new partner, David Woolley, a contractor and father of four. Their wedding, a major event for the Brown family’s adult children, was featured prominently on the reality show, cementing her commitment to a monogamous relationship.
Expanding Her Empire with David
Christine has fully embraced her role as a social media influencer, promoting products and her personal brand. In a 2025 update, it was revealed that Christine and David are expanding their financial portfolio, specifically by investing in rental properties. This move suggests a strong, unified financial and personal partnership, a stark contrast to the often-strained financial arrangements of her former plural marriage. Despite their public happiness, the couple has admitted to having their "biggest disagreement yet," proving that even a soulmate connection has its challenges.
Janelle Brown: Business Ventures and Emotional Detox
Janelle Brown, known for her pragmatic and independent nature, has also flourished since her separation from Kody in late 2022. Her focus remains on her children and her entrepreneurial endeavors, a consistent theme throughout her time on the show.
The Launch of Taeda Farms
The biggest news for Janelle in 2025 is the launch of her new business venture, Taeda Farms. While details are still emerging, the announcement suggests a move into agriculture or wellness, aligning with her long-standing interest in health and self-improvement. She continues to work as a health coach through her existing business, Strive with Janelle, which is tied to the Plexus supplement brand.
A Year of "Detox" and Personal Growth
Janelle has publicly stated her intention to use 2025 as a year for a personal "detox." This plan is centered around removing the negativity that has surrounded the fractured Brown family, particularly the ongoing conflicts with Kody and Robyn, and the emotional toll of the separation. Her commitment to her own well-being and financial independence highlights her strength and resilience after leaving the plural marriage. She has been a major advocate for her adult sons, including Garrison and Gabriel, who have been publicly estranged from their father, Kody.
Meri Brown: Finding Strength and New Romance
Meri Brown, Kody's first and legal wife who later divorced him so he could legally marry Robyn, officially separated from Kody in early 2023. Her journey in 2025 is marked by self-discovery and a renewed focus on her own life outside the constraints of the plural family.
The Strongest Version of Herself
Reports from 2025 describe Meri as being the "strongest the reality TV star has ever been." She has been sharing messages of empowerment and reflection on her past, indicating a period of significant personal growth and healing after years of an emotionally distant relationship with Kody. She continues to run her successful bed and breakfast, Lizzie's Heritage Inn, in Parowan, Utah, using it as a base for her independent life.
A New Partner and Coyote Pass Entanglements
Meri has been publicly linked to a new partner since her separation, confirming she is moving forward in the dating world. However, her life remains financially and emotionally entangled with the Brown family due to the controversial Coyote Pass land. She is still involved in disputes over land and assets, along with Janelle, suggesting the final chapter of the Brown family’s financial separation is yet to be written.
Kody & Robyn Brown: The Last Standing Couple and The Fallout
Kody and Robyn Brown are the sole survivors of the plural marriage experiment. As of 2025, they are exclusively married and committed to a monogamous relationship.
Navigating Monogamy in Flagstaff
The shift to monogamy was not entirely smooth, even for the couple who championed the lifestyle change. Kody recently revealed to Robyn his desire to "close that," referring to the door on the idea of polygamy or taking any additional wives, a revelation that reportedly "shocked" Robyn. Kody is now living a life that is dramatically different from the one he built on reality television, focusing solely on his relationship with Robyn and their five children.
The Estrangement from Adult Children
A major focus of the latest season and public commentary is the ongoing and painful estrangement between Kody and many of his adult children from his previous marriages. The tension is so high that Christine’s new husband, David Woolley, publicly clashed with Kody, advising him to focus on communicating with his estranged children. This public confrontation highlights the deep rift in the family and positions David as a protective figure for Christine’s children, a role Kody has struggled to fulfill.
The Sister Wives' Future: Season 20 and Beyond
The story of the Brown family is not over. With a new season of the reality show confirmed, viewers will continue to see the fallout from the divorces and the new, separate lives of the former sister wives. The narrative has shifted from the struggles of plural marriage to the triumphs of independence, chronicling Christine, Janelle, and Meri’s journeys as they embrace new identities, new partners, and new businesses like Taeda Farms. The central tension now lies in the ongoing conflict over the Coyote Pass property and the dramatic family estrangement, ensuring that the Brown family saga remains a compelling and highly-watched drama for years to come.
