This past season ofSister Wiveshighlighted the ups and downs in Kody’s various marriages, particularly his bonds with Christine, 49, and Janelle.
Janelle previouslyaddressed her struggles with Kody, she said their “relationship is pretty strained” and it’d be “easy to walk away” from it all. Kody, for his part, said that the pairare “not in sync.”
“We don’t partner really well but we actually just are able to have a marriage that’s, if you will, lower in attachment,” he said during the season 16 reunion. “I don’t even know. We’re good friends, we get along well. It’s more of a, like, just a committed relationship.”
