PEOPLE shared an exclusive sneak peek at Sunday’s episode of TLC Sister Wives, and viewers watch as Kody takes some time away from his large family to assist in the officiating of his friend’s wedding. However, ex-wife, Christine is not happy with his decision. Even their children feel the same way.
Sister Wives: Kody Brown Chooses His Friends Wedding Over His Family
Christine tells the camera, “Janelle’s kids knew that Kody was officiating a wedding and they told [my daughters] Gwen and Ysabel. So Gwendlyn’s mad. Ysabel’s heartbroken.”
She then shares that Ysbael questioned how her father could “justify” officiating a wedding but refused to be by her side during her scoliosis surgery and recovery. In his own defense, Kody says, “Ysabel’s surgery was at a time and a situation where it would have required that I’m six or eight weeks away from home. No man can be away from work and from home and from family for that long. I was gone for four days for Brian’s wedding. That’s it.”
An upset Christine says “What the hell. You think you get to go officiate your friend’s wedding and not take care of your own family?” “I don’t have to deal with him anymore because I’m not married to him. So glad I’m not because I cannot respect this person anymore. Who he is and the choices he’s making, I cannot respect this man.”
However, Kody believes that his ex-wife wants to make him out to be the “villain.” “The lack of love between us was for a reason,” the patriarch adds. Sister Wives duo, Christine and Kody announced their split via Instagram in November 2021.
At the time, they had been married for 25 years. Kody is still in a spiritual union with Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Robyn Brown. Robyn is his only legal wife. He and Meri currently have a platonic relationship.
