The 7 Biggest Updates in Janelle Brown’s Life for 2025
Janelle has been vocal about her commitment to a "detox" and a fresh start in 2025, focusing on personal goals and family well-being. This new chapter has brought several monumental changes that have redefined her public and private life.
1. The Finality of Her Spiritual Divorce from Kody
The separation between Janelle and Kody is definitively over. While the two had been estranged for some time, particularly over their conflicting views on the COVID-19 pandemic and their children, the split became official and public in late 2023. Janelle sought and obtained a spiritual release from her former church leader, formally concluding her plural marriage.
Despite a brief moment where she admitted to considering getting back together with Kody, she has since stated she is "done" and is not looking for love or currently dating anyone. Her focus is purely on her independence and her role as a mother and entrepreneur, moving past the emotional entanglement of the Brown family’s drama.
2. The Tragic Loss of Son Garrison Brown
In a development that has devastated the entire family, Janelle and Kody’s son, Robert Garrison Brown, tragically passed away. This profound loss has been a central and heartbreaking event for Janelle and her children. The outpouring of support from fans and even the estranged members of the Brown family highlights the deep impact Garrison had. This tragedy has brought a somber, reflective tone to the family's journey in 2025.
The late Garrison, along with his brother Gabriel "Gabe" Brown, had been a vocal critic of his father, Kody, on the show, making their strained relationship a major storyline in recent seasons of *Sister Wives*.
3. The Move to North Carolina and Her Dream Home Build
Janelle has permanently left the family's Coyote Pass property in Flagstaff, Arizona, and has relocated to North Carolina. She is living on a sprawling 156-acre property with her daughter, Madison "Maddie" Brush, and son-in-law, Caleb Brush.
This move is tied to her most exciting personal project: the construction of her long-awaited dream home. She has been sharing progress photos of the build, signaling a tangible commitment to her new, independent life outside of the constraints of the plural marriage.
4. New Business Focus: Taeda Farms and Strive with Janelle
The pragmatic Janelle has always been a savvy businesswoman. After her departure from the Brown family's collective finances, she has doubled down on her personal ventures. Her online health and life coaching business, "Strive with Janelle," which started in the Las Vegas era, is still active, offering life coaching services.
More recently, she has shared an exciting new business update for 2025 regarding a venture called "Taeda Farms." This suggests a new, possibly agricultural or land-based enterprise in line with her new expansive North Carolina property, showcasing her ambition to build a financial legacy independent of Kody Brown.
5. The Status of Coyote Pass
The Coyote Pass property in Flagstaff, which was the source of so much conflict and financial stress for the family, remains an unresolved issue. While Janelle is physically in North Carolina, she still owns a portion of the land. The financial division of this large, undeveloped parcel among Kody, Robyn Brown, Meri Brown, Christine Brown, and Janelle remains a lingering question that fans hope will be addressed on the show.
6. The Relationship with Christine Brown
Janelle’s bond with ex-sister wife Christine Brown has only strengthened since both women left Kody. They have become close friends and business partners, frequently traveling and promoting their joint ventures. This powerful friendship is a testament to the strong female relationships that survived the collapse of the plural marriage, offering a positive storyline of women supporting each other post-polygamy.
7. Hints at a Sister Wives Exit
With her new life established in North Carolina, her new home under construction, and a renewed focus on her businesses, Janelle has dropped multiple hints on social media about potentially leaving the *Sister Wives* show. While Season 19 is expected to document the fallout of the separations, Janelle’s fresh start outside of the immediate family dynamic suggests her time on the TLC series may be coming to a natural, self-determined conclusion.
Whether she stays or goes, Janelle Brown’s journey from a quiet sister wife to a thriving, independent matriarch serves as an inspiration to many. She has successfully navigated the complexities of a spiritual divorce and the profound grief of losing a child, all while building a completely new life for herself and her remaining children.
