Sister Wives star Christine Brown recently commented on heartbreak, and I’m convinced it’s a sign of trouble in paradise. Christine, a 53-year-old mother of five, has been through so much change over the last few years, but she could be headed for even more. She was the third wife of polygamist patriarch Kody Brown before she decided to end their 27-year marriage in 2021. I was shocked when Christine decided to leave Kody because she never struck me as the independent type. Christine proved me and everyone else completely wrong.

After leaving Kody, it wasn’t long before Christine started dating. It was inspiring to see Christine be willing to open her heart again after going through such a devastating divorce. Christine never wanted to divorce Kody and worked hard to fix the marriage before finally accepting that it was over. Soon after reentering the dating scene, Christine met and fell in love with David, and their whirlwind romance was captured during Sister Wives season 19. I thought Christine was happy in her new life, but her recent comments about heartbreak have given me pause.

I Think Christine & David Rushed Things

She Should Have Stayed Single Longer

After divorcing Kody in 2021, Christine met David in 2022, and the couple dated for less than a year before moving in together. I was shocked that the usually buttoned-up Christine would live with a man before marriage, especially since her youngest child, Truely Brown, was still living with her at the time. Still, Christine took the plunge and started living with her new boyfriend. David is a widower with eight children and ten grandchildren, so their blended family is massive. Soon after moving in together, David proposed and Christine said yes.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Christine married David in October 2023, in a wedding documented for a two-part Sister Wives special airing in January. Christine wore an off-the-shoulder wedding dress, choosing to show off her tattoo, which matches David’s. She wore an all-black suit. When Christine married Kody, they had a small, simple wedding which was attended by the two other women Kody was already married to. Her wedding to David was a very different kind of event for her. Christine and David were surrounded by their families on their big day, but I’m worried the good vibes didn’t last.

David appears to be different from Kody in every way. He’s quieter than Kody, less emotional, and, most importantly for Christine, David has no interest in polygamy. Still, I can’t help but feel like Christine and David shouldn’t have gotten married so quickly. After being married to Kody for 27 years, I feel like Christine would have benefited from spending some time on her own, and getting to know herself better. Since I am such a big fan of Christine’s, I hope I’m wrong about her and David.

Christine’s Comments Could Spell Trouble

“What A Year It Has Been”

On January 1, 2025, Christine rang in the new year by posting a recap of 2024 to Instagram. The Sister Wives season 19 star shared images and footage from throughout the last year, sharing her experiences. “What a year it has been,” read the caption on Christine’s recap of 2024. “From unbelievable heart break to unforgettable adventures, this year has been all about growth, joy in hardship and finding the courage to choose happiness.” The words “heart break” really stood out to me.

In March 2024, the Brown family was devastated by the loss of one of their own. 25-year-old Garrison Brown was Kody’s son with his second wife, 55-year-old Janelle Brown. Though Garrison wasn’t Christine’s biological son, she knew him from the day he was born, and she helped raise him, alongside her children. While the children were growing up, Kody and Janelle worked full-time, so it was Christine who stayed home with all the children. She had a special bond with Garrison, and his tragic death was devastating for Christine.

Though Christine had so many good things happen to her in 2024, it must be difficult for her to enjoy her happiness when she is grieving. It’s a phenomenon known as survivor’s guilt, in which a person can’t fathom enjoying life after the loss of a loved one. Christine is also very close to Janelle, Garrison’s biological mother, so she’s been there for her former sister wife. I think Christine’s comment was more likely about Garrison and had nothing to do with her marriage to David.

David Changed Christine So Much

She’s A Whole New Woman

It’s crazy to think about how much Christine has changed since leaving Kody and marrying David. At first, I thought the changes were a red flag, but I’ve since changed my mind. I think Christine was trying to be someone else while she was married to Kody, and falling in love with David gave her the license to be herself. She used to be conservative, but now, she has tattoos and rides on the back of David’s motorcycle. In many ways, the Sister Wives season 19 star is more herself than she’s ever been, and I’m happy for her.
