What Happened To Janelle Brown After Sister Wives Season 19?

Janelle Brown’s life in 2025 looks very different from when the filming of Sister Wives season 19 took place. She was in her 30s when she married Kody Brown and joined his polygamous household, sharing him with his two other wives, Meri and Christine Brown. Janelle believed she could have a happy future as part of this unique family. In the following thirty years, Janelle welcomed six children with Kody. She showed herself to be an excellent matriarch and a loyal wife to Kody, carrying out his instructions to the best of her ability.

Janelle began to grow distant from Kody after he married his fourth wife, Robyn Brown. She felt that her husband wasn’t spending enough time with their children. Janelle’s increasing dissatisfaction eventually led to clashes with Kody on various issues. She even refused to comply with Kody’s demand to ask their sons, Garrison and Gabe Brown, to move out of the house during the COVID-19 pandemic. As time went on, Janelle gained more confidence to express her thoughts, taking cues from her sister wife, Christine’s separation from Kody. In late 2022, Janelle finally ended her spiritual marriage to Kody.

Janelle To Get A Portion From The Coyote Pass Sale

The Brown Family Has Sold Coyote Pass For $1.5 Million

Janelle invested a significant amount of her money in purchasing a 14-acre piece of land, Coyote Pass, with Kody and the other Sister Wives. Initially, she planned to build a family there, but complications arose after her split from Kody, leading to drama surrounding the property. Janelle spent months trying to persuade Kody to sell the property and give her a fair share of the profit. Meanwhile, Kody focused on maximizing profits with Robyn, his remaining wife, and didn’t prioritize ensuring that Janelle and Meri received a fair return on their investments.

As the drama reached its climax, Janelle and Meri joined forces and threatened legal action against Kody. Shortly thereafter, Sister Wives fans discovered that Kody had allocated a portion of the land to both Janelle and Meri. In April 2025, multiple news outlets reported that Kody, Robyn, Janelle, and Meri had sold Coyote Pass for $1.5 million, which resulted in a $680,000 profit on their initial investment. The reports also suggested that Janelle received around $375,000, which is likely more than double the amount she originally invested back in 2018.

Kody had been absent from Janelle’s life for many years before they officially ended their relationship in 2022. Janelle remembered going on an awkward date with him on her birthday, where she resisted his affection. After the split, Janelle focused all efforts on herself. She began by relocating from Flagstaff, Arizona, to Chocowinity, North Carolina, cutting all ties with Kody. According to the reports, she bought agricultural land in North Carolina called Taeda Farms for $289,000. This decision brought Janelle closer to her daughter, Maddie Brush, who lives very close with her husband, Caleb Brush, and their four children.

In December 2024, Janelle posted sweet pictures of her daughter, Savanah, and son, Paedon, while running errands with them in Raleigh, North Carolina. In the caption, she revealed that Paedon had also moved to North Carolina and found an apartment. Janelle now also wants Christine to buy a second property in North Carolina so they can all be closer. Janelle’s move to North Carolina is confirmed, as she is now working to obtain an identification card in the state. Despite facing a setback at the DMV, she is eager to establish roots in the Old North State.

Janelle is excited to begin the next chapter of her life after her marriage to Kody ended. Although she still views herself as a sister wife to Christine, she’s beginning to move away from her polygamous background. Unlike Christine, Janelle isn’t focused on finding love once more. She is eager to embrace the single life and make the most of it. Janelle has begun building her new house in North Carolina, which is conveniently located near her daughter’s residence. Janelle recently shared a video of the land where her house will be built, stating, “My home is slowly coming to fruition.”

Janelle informed her followers that the house has been “staked,” and she hopes to move in by the holiday season. She also mentioned, “My home will have a big covered front and back porch. Bring on evenings in a porch swing (with required screens in the summer for bugs lol).” Sister Wives fans are thrilled about Janelle’s new life in North Carolina and congratulate her on her new accomplishment.

One Instagram user exclaimed, “You finally got your house!”

Another user chimed in, “You managed to do what your ex couldn’t lol good for you.”

Janelle Is Still Struggling With The Grief Of Losing Her Son

After parting ways with Kody, Janelle has been focusing on moving ahead instead of dwelling on the past.

She relocated from Arizona to North Carolina, lost oodles of weight, and launched two new ventures. In addition, she has embarked on a journey to detox from any negativity that may hinder her from reaching her full potential. Since the beginning of 2025, Janelle has been dedicated to her detox goals and has been consistently progressing. Despite all these positive changes in her life, Janelle is still grappling with the immense sorrow of losing her adult son, Garrison Brown.

Janelle is navigating through the pain of losing her child while also cherishing memories of him.

Recently, Janelle shared unseen pictures of her son on Instagram with a heartfelt caption dedicated to him. She wrote, “You seem so alive in the millions of photos I have. I sometimes forget I wont see you again – and then – I remember.” Janelle described grief as a strange emotion but ended her message by promising to reunite with her son one day. Despite her loss, the Sister Wives cast member is continuing to move forward while carrying her son’s memory in her heart.

Sister Wives season 19 airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. EDT on TLC.
