Kody Brown admitted on Sunday’s episode of sister wives that he is not close to some of his children; however, in typical Kody fashion, he took little responsibility for the strained relationship.
Instead, father-of-18 Kody seemed to lay much of the blame on his ex-wife Christine Brownfrom which he separated in November 2021.
Fans have watched the aftermath of Kody and Christine’s split unfold on the current season of the TLC series, with the most recent episode addressing how the former couple’s children, namely Truely and Ysabella— will handle the big changes that are in store.

As viewers saw on Sunday’s episode, Christine and Kody didn’t get to sit down with their youngest daughter to tell her the news together, as Truely overheard Christine discussing their upcoming moving to Utah. After Christine explained to Truely (off camera) that they would both be moving out of Flagstaff, Arizona, and that she and Kody were “already divorced,” Kody went on to accuse her ex of swaying their husband’s opinion. girl on him in a negative way. way.
“So it’s almost like it’s just following a narrative,” Kody said. “She sets Truely up with, ‘Well, daddy’s never around anyway, is he?’ I mean, she leads Truely down the road.
Kody blamed Christine even more, saying that if her relationship is bad with her young children, “it’s not always my fault.”

“…It’s because I didn’t have a mother [of the children] who has been willing to actually help that,” he claimed. “And Christine here who needs an excuse to be able to leave has been setting things up, I feel like, for a very long time to justify this to her children.”
In response to Kody’s attacks, Christine argued that if she and Truely were to stay in Flagstaff, they would be After alone and Truely “would be alone”, while in Utah, Truely would have her older sisters Aspyne and Mykelti and their families nearby, to “wrap her up when she’s around them”.
“…that’s what I want to give her for the rest of her life is to be surrounded and just wrapped in love,” Christine said.
Christine and Kody’s other daughter, Ysabel — who, in the episode, is preparing to move to North Carolina for college — said she and Kody weren’t very close, so her mother he would miss him more than his father.
“I’m gonna miss my mom more than I’m gonna miss her [my dad], I think — because I don’t really think we’re close at all,” Ysabel admitted. “But I mean, he’s still my dad.”

During the episode, Kody argued that his time with Ysabel mostly consisted of him “doing a lot of work to get her out of herself.”
“I don’t know what it is,” Kody continued. “I don’t think I’m that big ogre. I don’t know why she doesn’t talk to me. I am open to it.

Fans of the show may recall that Kody chose not to travel when Ysabel, then 17, underwent scoliosis surgery in 2021, citing COVID-19 concerns. On Sunday’s episode, Kody revealed he once again chose not to travel for his daughter’s sake, this time backing down from helping the high school graduate move to North Carolina. While Ysabel told Kody it was okay he couldn’t, Kody said he suspected his daughter was still upset with her choice.
“I think Ysabel is probably hurt that I didn’t go, but there are people who rely on me more than Ysabel,” he said. “And it just wasn’t going to work in this case.”
