During her nearly 28-year marriage toKody Brown, theSister Wivesstar welcomed six children: Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Truely. Christine became Kody’s third wife, via a “spiritual marriage,” in 1994 and after nearly three decades together,they splitin November 2021.

Christine admitted on a December 2022 episode of theReality Life with Kate Caseypodcast that she partly decided to divorce Kody because of hisrelationship with their children.

“It was like a vicious cycle all the time. Because for years, I’d say you know, your dad loves you. He loves you, he wanted to spend time with you,” she explained. “I would tell my kids that all the time — that he’s going to come over, we’re going to have a great time, blah, blah, blah. And after a while, they just stopped believing me.”

Since their 2021 split, the former couple have continued to appear onSister WivesandChristine and Kody’s children have voiced their opinions on their parents’ marriage.

From Christine’s experience becoming a grandmother to the major life events her children have gone through onSister Wives, here’s everything to know about Christine’s six children: Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Truely.

Ysabel revealed on the show that she didn’t want to “disrespect” her father’s precautions about COVID-19 but that it was a “really frustrating” situation for her.

“I think I’m a little upset that he can’t go because he’s always talking about how family comes first,” she said. “But when it comes down to it, I need him there, and he’s not putting his daughter above the fear that he has of the pandemic.”

Now, Ysabel frequently shares travel memories onInstagram, including pictures with her mom and siblings.
