After Sister Wives stars Janelle Brown, Christine Brown, and Meri Brown’s respective splits from Kody Brown, he is accusing his exes of intentionally excluding him in this exclusive sneak peek clip.
As the rest of the family moves on, Kody Brown is feeling more left out than ever.
In E! News’ exclusive sneak peek clip from the season 19 premiere of Sister Wives, airing Sept. 15, the Brown family patriarch is still struggling with adjusting to the new normal of his estranged family.
After his second wife Janelle Brown separated from him in 2022, she is now considering moving away from Flagstaff, Arizona, where Kody and his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown, still reside.
“We’re just going to look at property in Montana,” Kody and Janelle’s daughter Madison Brush tells several of the older Brown family kids. “Property to build on.”
Christine Brown, who left Kody first in 2021, is delighted by the news and what that could mean for Janelle.
“I know that’s the secret,” she says in her confessional interview. “And what’s more, Janelle’s talking about possibly moving with them.”
Janelle admits that she doesn’t feel tied to Flagstaff following her split from Kody, sharing, “Flagstaff no longer feels permanent and if I had another option, I would probably take it.”
Of course, the father of 18 views this decision and any gatherings between his exes and his children as a personal affront.
TLC“They know that I suffer from FOMO about my family, fear of missing out, OK?” he says in a confessional interview. “So anything they can do that excludes me is a punishment to me.”
Over the past few years, Kody’s spiritual marriages to Christine, Janelle, and Meri Brown have all dissolved amid disagreements over COVID, Kody’s behavior toward his children, and his alleged favoritism of Robyn.
TLCIn the new season, which was filmed in late 2022 and early 2023, fans are set to see Christine moving on in her new romance with future husband David Woolley. And Kody and Robyn’s marriage seems to be on the rocks more than ever as Robyn accused Kody of “sabotaging” their relationship in a trailer for the show.
Sister Wives season 19 premiere airs Sunday, Sept. 15 at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

In January 2024, a year after she and Kody Brown announced their breakup, Meri revealed on Instagram that she had begun dating Amos Andrews the previous October. But in February 2024, Meri confirmed on Instagram that they had called it quits.

Nearly a decade and a half on, though, they’re still kicking it, the pair adding son Solomon, 12, and daughter Ariella, 7, to the squad. As for bringing on other teammates, it’s not in the game plan. “I really, really struggle with it because it feels, like, ‘Oh, well. Those didn’t work. So, on to [someone] new,'” Robyn said on the December Sister Wives: One on One special of Meri, Janelle and Christine leaving the fold. “That’s hard for me. That’s really, really hard for me. It feels disrespectful.”
