Sister Wives star Janelle Brown has made it clear that her life is changing in 2025 with her plan to detox from the negativity that’s been swirling around her, but I’m not sure where she stands with Christine Brown during this new chapter. Although Janelle, who left her marriage to Kody Brown in 2022 after over thirty years of living in the plural family, has been clear and intentional since her split, she’s stepping things up in 2025. While Janelle is still grieving a major loss after her son Garrison Brown passed in early 2024, she’s trying to move forward.
After seeing how things have transpired throughout Sister Wives season 19, Janelle has been working hard to ensure that she’s happier as she moves forward with her life in the wake of tragedy. Janelle’s marriage to Kody, which he was hopeful they would revisit in the future, has been something she’s genuinely disregarded. She’s fully committed to moving away from the negativity in her life with her 2025 detox. Sharing her plans to be intentional with her mental and physical health, Janelle’s also planning to be mindful of her relationships. This could potentially spell trouble for her friendship with Christine.

She’s Detoxing The Negativity From Her Life
While Janelle shared some difficult feelings surrounding the holiday season in the wake of her son’s passing, she opened up about the fact that she’s hoping 2025 will be a more positive year for her. Janelle’s decision to make 2025 a year of detox was something she was open about early, as she wanted her followers to understand the intention behind her posts in the coming months. Explaining that she wants to purge the things no longer serving her or bringing negativity into her life, Janelle opened up about her intentions for the year, clarifying what she hopes to achieve.
Janelle shared that she plans to detox her life in four different ways, sharing that she wants to focus heavily on reshaping herself into the person she wants to be. Explaining that she wants to focus on her physical and mental health, Janelle also narrowed down some other spaces where she wants to practice more intentionality and gain more control. She shared that she wants to be more intentional with her emotional connections, build a better physical environment around her, and spend more time practicing her spirituality in the coming year. Janelle’s detox will be thorough, but worth the effort.
Janelle & Christine’s Relationship Grew After Divorcing Kody
The Pair Had A Lot More In Common
After separating from Kody over the course of Sister Wives season 17, Christine quickly made it clear that she wanted to distance herself from her past life. Her decision to leave Kody wasn’t necessarily surprising, but her move from Arizona to Utah did shock some Sister Wives viewers. Watching Christine was inspirational to Janelle, and when she wound up finding her relationship struggling during Sister Wives season 18, she decided to leave her marriage with Kody as well. Janelle found strength in Christine throughout her separation, and though Christine was pushy at times, she was grateful for the kind support.

Janelle and Christine quickly improved a rapport that they’d shared for years when they were in the same boat as Kody’s ex-wives. Showing each other grace and sharing in a new way, the women built a relationship that has seemed transformational to Sister Wives viewers. I’ve watched as Christine and Janelle have supported one another through a difficult few years, and their connection has been incredible to watch as it has grown. I’ve enjoyed seeing the women support one another and move into a new chapter of their lives, although it’s been interesting to watch as their relationship has changed.
There’s A New Distance Between Janelle & Christine
The Women Are Physically Distant, Which Could Lead To Emotional Distance
Although Janelle has been clear about the fact that she cares for Christine, it’s interesting to watch their relationship change as their lives change outside of their plural marriage. As Janelle settles into her new North Carolina home to be closer to her grandchildren and Christine continues her life in Utah with her husband David Woolley, there’s a whole new distance between the women that we haven’t seen before. Having never been so far apart so consistently, I’m wondering if the physical distance between them could lead to an emotional distance in the future, especially with Janelle’s detox in 2025.

She May Not Find The Relationship As Valuable At This Stage
Although I’m hopeful that Janelle and Christine will continue to have a wonderful relationship as they move through their lives, I’m worried that Janelle’s 2025 detox could put a damper on her relationship with her former sister wife. Janelle has pledged to spend this year focusing on what brings her joy and makes her stronger in several ways, and while I believe her relationship with Christine has in the past, I don’t know where they stand currently. With Janelle trying to move forward, it’s possible she’ll leave most of her Sister Wives memories behind, potentially including her relationship with Christine.
