Janelle Brown was in a truth-telling mood when she met up with ex Kody Brown for a post-split talk.
On the Nov. 3 episode of Sister Wives,EchoSense the 53-year-old sat down for a meal with the father of her six children, shutting down his questions of reconciliation after she ended their nearly 30-year spiritual marriage in 2022.
“You complain about my independence, and I will complain about your selfishness and [you being] self-absorbed,” Janelle told the former polygamist. “You are a little bit.”
When Kody, who split from three of his four wives in the past few years, looked for clarification on the comment, asking, “Is that in the past two years with a divorce?” Janelle disagreed saying, “No, maybe you always were.”
Janelle also cited how Kody’s estranged relationships with their children have played a big factor in the former couple’s lack of future.
“The kids are all feeling very estranged from you,” she explained. “There’s a lot of nuances, and I can’t be in the middle.”
As for her personal feelings toward her estranged husband, she admitted to still feeling an attraction toward Kody.
“I don't think we even exist in the same universe anymore,” Janelle told him. “I think you're awesome. And whenever we talk, I still feel that like you've got this little, this little hook in me or whatever. But I've been so happy [without you] that I don't foresee a long term thing for us.”
Noting how he hasn’t been to her house in two years, Janelle pointedly expressed that Kody is no longer the man she married. And though Kody—who split from Christine Brown in 2021 before Janelle and later Meri Brown exited their spiritual marriages with the 56-year-old the following year—claimed they haven’t talked about their relationship, Janelle disagreed, saying, “We've had so many conversations where I've said it's done, we're done.”
In his own confessional, Kody, who is now in a monogamous relationship with his own remaining wife Robyn Brown, seemed to contradict his comments to Janelle, calling talks of reconciliation between the two “a pipe dream from both of us,” though he was the one instigating the conversation.
“I talk about reconciling with her because I'd like to be back in graces with my children,” the father of 18 claimed. “But I know that reconciling with her would require some kind of power game where I gave her all the power in the relationship.”
And while Kody said he thought Janelle having all the power would be “fair,” due to the imbalance of the rest of their marriage in his favor, he added, “But I’m not interested in that.”
Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
