Kody Brown and his former partner, Christine, were spiritually married for nearly 30 years. Sister Wives featured Kody and Christine’s relationship and family alongside Kody’s other wives, Meri, Janelle, and Robyn. Collectively, Kody has 18 children by his wives, six with Christine.
Kody and Christine went their separate ways in 2021, and she has since remarried David Woolley. The children Kody and Christine share have grown up and developed unique relationships with their parents, with several struggling to maintain connections with Kody.
Today, Kody and Christine’s six children — Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, and Truly — are unique individuals with their own lives and personalities. Here’s more about what each one of them is up to now.
Sister Wife | Children |
Meri | Leon (formerly Mariah) |
Janelle | Garrison (d. 2024), Logan, Maddie, Hunter, Gabe, Savanah |
Christine | Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel, Truely |
Robin | Dayton, Aurora, Breanna (all from her previous relationship), Solomon, Ariella |

Aspyn Brown Thompson, age 30
Kody and Christine’s oldest child, Aspyn, was born in 1995. She grew up on Sister Wives in many ways and has since created a life of her own alongside her husband, Mitch. After graduating from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2019 with a degree in marriage and family therapy, Aspyn went to work for Kendra Scott as a store manager.
Aspyn and Mitch wed in 2018 after having met during a party at her family’s home. Aspyn told People, she was the one who took the initiative with Mitch:
“We were raised in the same church group, and I had a little crush on him. We went different directions until a rally some of my family attended in Utah, where we both happened to be. My dad’s brother asked what ever happened between us, which was nothing, because neither of us did anything about it. So I decided to call him.”
They got engaged in early 2018, an event that Aspyn recalled:
“I was so happy, I said yes immediately and pulled him up to kiss me before he could even put on the ring.”

Mykelti Brown Padron, age 28
Mykelti Brown Pedron was born one year after Aspyn but was the first of Kody and Christine’s children to get married. In 2016, Mykelti married Antonio “Tony” Padron and the couple have three children together. Their daughter, Avalon, was born in April 2021 and their twins, Ace and Archer, arrived in November 2022.
Rumors that Mykelti and her husband split in 2024 prompted her to take to social media to insist they were still very much together. Concerning her father, Kody, Mykelti said as recently as November 2024 that his relationship with Meri Brown was difficult. She explained that,
“[Meri] was very emotionally and verbally abuse to all of us when we were younger.”
In July 2024, Mykelti and her family relocated to North Carolina.

Paedon Brown, age 26
As Christine and Kody’s only son, Paedon was born in 1998. Now a member of the National Guard, Paedon shares glimpses into his life on social media and has an active Cameo account. He sparked controversy in late 2024, however, when he admitted hurting his sister, Gwendlyn, during an argument when they were younger:
“Many years ago, I messed up. I hit Gwen… She thinks that I might do it again, and she’s scared of me, which is OK.”
Paedon was sorry for his actions and made it clear that their mother, Christine, was trying to help Gwendlyn and, while he understands why there is discomfort between them, “It is very important that my sister [feels] safe around me.”

Gwendlyn Brown Queiroz, age 23
Gwendlyn came out as bisexual in 2022 and, the following year, became engaged to Beatriz Queiroz. Born in 2001, Gwendlyn was openly critical of Kody’s “abusive” parenting, describing instances when she was “bruised a few times” after being spanked.
Gwendlyn and Beatriz wed in late 2023 in Arizona just after the former made it clear she was taking her soon-to-be wife’s name.

Ysabel Brown, age 22
Ysabel Brown was born in 2003 and, during season 17 of Sister Wives, moved to North Carolina to attend college at East Carolina University. When Ysabel had surgery to correct her scoliosis in 2021, she was disappointed that her father didn’t travel to New Jersey to be with her during the operation. This was also featured on Sister Wives, at which time Ysable said,
“I think his priorities are a little screwed up… And l don’t want to disrespect him because he is my dad and I understand, I do. I do understand why he’s doing it, it’s just really frustrating and really, really hard.”
The ups and downs in Ysabel’s relationship with Kody were also apparent when she talked about her mother’s relationship with David Woolley in late 2024. She was concerned that Christine’s then-boyfriend would “replace” her father, but Christine assured her that David would “be whatever you need.”
In July 2023, Ysabel soft-launched her relationship with her boyfriend on Instagram. The duo attended Gwendlyn’s wedding to Beatriz Queiroz.

Truely Brown, age 14
Born in 2010, Truely Brown is the youngest child Kody and Christine share. Truely lives with her mother, Christine, who filed a lawsuit against Kody asking custody. Kody is not listed on Truely’s birth certificate, meaning Christine also needed to establish paternity before any back child support could be paid, an additional request in the suit.
Truely has stolen the hearts of fans of Sister Wives who have openly expressed concern for her well-being as the young girl navigates her mother’s new marriage, living in Arizona with Christine and David, and being on the show.
