'Sister Wives' Star Christine Brown Reveals Split From Husband Kody Was Filmed For TLC Series, Insists 'All Questions Will Be Answered'
It wouldn’t be a reality star breakup if it wasn't filmed for the fans: Christine Brown has confirmed her split from husband Kody Brown has been documented for the upcoming season of Sister Wives.
After Christine shocked fans earlier this week by announcing she was leaving her polygamist marriage, she reportedly assured them "all questions would be answered," via her LuLaRoe Facebook group.
"Wonderful Group of Mine: First off, I want to thank you for your ongoing support," the mother-of-six began her statement, per The Sun, after fans seemingly bombarded her with questions. "I know you probably have many questions for me, but because my leaving has been documented as part of our family’s show, most of your questions will be answered on our episodes."
"As stated in the announcements, questions about my life, my family, or the show are not permitted on live sales," she continued, the outlet reported. "Thank you for your understanding and cooperation [sic]."
The reality star announced the end of her marriage on Tuesday, November 2, sharing on Instagram: “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave."
Noting she and her estranged hubby "will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family," Christine asked her fans "for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family."

Shortly after, Kody released his own statement, admitting: "Christine's decision to leave comes with a great deal of sadness."
The 52-year-old insisted they "enjoyed many years together," adding that he has a "large amount of respect and admiration for her." Acknowledging they are "moving forward on different paths," Kody maintained: "we will always remain committed parents."
The former flames — who share Asypen, 26, Mykelti, 25, Paedon, 23, Gwendlyn, 20, Ysabel, 18, and Truely, 11 — spiritually tied the knot in 1994, making Christine the third wife to join Kody's unconventional family, along with first wife Meri and second wife Janelle. Fourth wife Robyn entered their plural marriage in 2014.
Speculation surrounding Christine's unhappiness in their marriage began last season when she expressed her desire to move from Arizona to Utah, where polygamy had recently been decriminalized.
After Kody and her sister wives shot her down, Christine, 49, broke down in tears, confessing she "can't do marriage with Kody anymore," and feels she "doesn't matter" to him.
Rumors that their marriage was heading downhill picked up after she moved to Utah with her youngest daughter, leaving Kody and her sister wives behind in Flagstaff. Early in October, Christine sold the Arizona home she shared with Kody for $700,000, and moved into a $1.1 million Utah two-story duplex home.
