They kept it in the family.
During Sunday’s episode of TLC’s “Sister Wives,” Christine Brown revealed that she’s related to her ex-husband, Kody Brown.
“I knew growing up that I would have to marry a convert because I was literally related to everybody in the church,” Christine, 53, told her husband, David Woolley.
“I did marry a convert, but I was still related to him too,” she added. “Yeah, I’m related to Kody.”
Christine went on to explain that Kody — whom she was spiritually married to from 1994 to 2021 — is technically her distant cousin.
“Third cousins once removed is fully legal. Fully,” she shared. “Polygamy is not legal. I’m third cousins once removed from Kody.”
“Wow,” Woolley, 61, simply replied to his wife’s bombshell news.
Christine’s former sister wife, Janelle Brown, said in a confessional how the polygamous family would poke fun at Christine and Kody’s familial relationship.
“There was always s this joke about [how] they were cousins, but they are so distantly related it’s ridiculous,” Janelle, 56, explained. “I think in polygamist families, this kind of stuff happens all the time.”
“It wasn’t the kind of relationship where, like, you saw each other at the family reunion — like, it was a very distant relationship,” Janelle clarified. “But they would always joke about being cousins. It just is a small community.”
Christine and Kody, 56, share kids Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Truely.
Since the former couple’s split, Christine has opened up about what led to their divorce after 25 years together.
“It wasn’t a real true intimacy,” she said on the show in June. “That wasn’t taken care of me emotionally, romantically, physically, financially, nothing. I was independent at that point.”
Kody, for his part, said he was no longer attracted to Christine during an episode of their show.
“I was ambivalent. I was trying to be stoic about it,” he explained. “[Christine] is a game player. From the time we were married — manipulation, pouting, temper tantrums, just behavior things.”
Christine was the first wife to leave Kody.
Janelle followed suit and announced her separation from Kody in 2022 after 29 years of marriage.
Meri Brown, 54, did the same and ended her and Kody’s marriage in 2023.
Kody is still married to Robyn Brown, 47, whom he legally wed in 2014.
Christine found love again when she married Woolley in Oct. 2023. They tied the knot at the Red Cliffs Lodge in Moab, Utah, in front of 330 guests.
“It’s a fairytale,” Christine told People at the time. “It’s everything I never thought I would have. I get to walk down the aisle to David, him just looking at me the way that he does, it’s a dream come true.”
