Inside Sister Wives’ Christine and Kody Brown Sex Life: Quotes

TMI! Sister Wives star Christine Brown and Kody Brown have shared insight about their sex life with fans amid their separation.

While the former couple revealed they had called it quits in November 2021, fans are currently watching the separation play out on season 17 of the TLC show.

During an episode that aired in September 2022, Kody revealed his frustrations over Christine’s decision to end their relationship.

“This feels like a major injustice that’s being done to me, and it galls me,” the father of 18 said during a confessional. ”I just can’t let it go. I don’t know why it’s such a struggle. It’s curling my toes. I need some grief counseling or something. I don’t know what’s going on here with my attachment. I can’t let go.”

Meanwhile, Christine reflected on her decision to end her marriage to Kody while talking to her former sister wives – Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Robyn Brown – during the October 2 episode.

“It’s no secret that Kody and I have been in a rough spot for a long time,” the TV personality told the group. “I have decided to leave Kody. It’s a hard decision. I need to make a choice for happiness. I need to make a choice to have joy in my life and peace and there hasn’t been a lot of hope at all until I decided to leave. I feel strongly this is the best choice for me.”

Another problem in their relationship came down to Kody’s lack of interest in Christine, including his physical attraction to her.

Christine announced she was leaving Kody via a statement on Instagram. “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave,” she wrote at the time. “We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family. At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family.”

The exes spiritually married in 1994, and they welcomed kids Aspyn, Mykelti, Paedon, Ysabel, Gwendlyn and Truely during their relationship. They were never legally married, meaning Kody and Christine never had to go through with an official divorce.

Lack of Intimacy

During the September 11 episode, Christine and Kody had a heated conversation about the lack of intimacy in their marriage.

“You’re not interested in an intimate marriage with me, I was,” the Cooking with Just Christine star told Kody. “I’m not interested in intimate marriage with you anymore, even if you said at this point, we could have intimacy again, I wouldn’t believe it for a second.”

After noting that Kody seemed to favor Robyn over her, Christine explained that she once viewed plural marriage as “awesome” when she felt “secure and had an important place.” However, her feelings have changed and she felt “displaced.”

She continued, “I felt hopeless. Yes, I got jealous for the first time ever.”

“Stop pointing the blame at me. You and I have intimacy and love in the relationship. I’m sorry it’s conditional based upon being part of a plural family,” Kody responded. “Even if you said you liked plural marriage, you would be devoted to it — I wouldn’t believe it for a second.”

Kody ‘Wasn’t In Love’

Kody revealed he was only affectionate with Christine out of “duty” amid their marriage during the November 13 episode.

While trying to understand why he felt so angry about the split, Kody said he felt “like an investor who poured everything he had into something and it just didn’t work.”

“I was holding her hand. I was kissing her. I wasn’t in love,” the Brown patriarch said in a confessional about the work he put in to attempt to save their marriage. “I was doing it as my duty as a husband. She’s not either. She quit loving me years ago. Now that we’re here, I’m just so upset because it’s not the breakup of two people. It’s the breakup of a family.”

Responding to Kody’s Comments

“That was an empowering moment, as hard as it was,” the mother of six admitted. “I kind of look back and I’m like, ‘Ah, I can see where you weren’t here and here and here and here and here and here.’ But you know what, if this has been happening for this long, I’m done. It’s over. I’m not going to keep pretending and I’m not going to keep doing this.”

She added that hearing Kody’s comments helped her realize that she made the right decision by leaving him. “If you really haven’t been attracted to me, and if you really didn’t really want a relationship with me, and you didn’t really want to spend time with me … it was almost like this burden got lifted,” Christine explained. “And I was like, ‘Alright, then it’s time to move on.’”

Christine’s Side

Also during the “Reality Life With Kate Casey” podcast appearance, Christine made it clear that she married Kody for the right reasons.

“I didn’t know that Kody didn’t feel like it was a romantic connection until he said [that],” she stated. “So, it was romantic for me. It was everything that I wanted. And he was just the coolest, bravest guy I knew. So, yeah, to me, it was [romantic].”
