Kody Brown, the 54-year-old star of TLC‘s Sister Wives, openly expressed his strong desire to mend things with his second wife, Janelle. This comes after their separation was made public in December 2022.
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Kody expressed, “I’m still looking for reconciliation with Janelle. I won’t say she’s been wishy-washy about the departure,” he shares. “But I keep thinking, ‘This isn’t a reason for us to break up. We can work through this. We can find trust again and negotiate an agreement on that trust if we’ll just work on it.’”
Having already gone through separations from Christine Brown in November 2021 and Meri Brown in January 2023, the TV star, involved in polygamous relationships, is still married to Robyn Brown.
Brown explained, “I have to find a new normal with Janelle because even if Janelle and I reconcile our marriage, it’s still going to be a new normal because it’s going to be different from where we’ve been before. Because how it was working for us didn’t seem like it was quite right. It wasn’t whole.”
Kody acknowledges that he and Janelle, who have children together named Logan (29), Madison (27), Hunter (26), Garrison (25), Gabriel (21), and Savanah (18), are still in the process of managing their separation. Despite the challenges, he hopes to “negotiate [a] reconciliation,” adding, “It’s been a dark time but I’m moving forward.”
He further shared that he is not looking to start a new relationship, focusing only on making things with Robyn and Janelle work: “Any effort I would ever think in that direction would need to be put into my relationship with Janelle and certainly my relationship with Robyn to maintain that relationship as well.”
As for Janelle, she doesn’t “have any regrets,” expressing that the “experience is what gave us (her and Kody Brown) the life that we have now.”
She notes, “We’re all settling into the new path. There’s only possibilities in front of us.”
