- Kody Brown said on “Sister Wives” that he wished Christine didn’t leave.
- “I believe God can do miracles,” his fourth wife, Robyn, said of Christine’s stay.

Christine Brown’s move out of Arizona came close to Sunday’s episode of TLC’s “Sister Wives,” but Kody Brown and other family members struggled to come to terms with the reality.
“I live in a delusional world where I wish Christine didn’t go,” Kody told cameras in a confessional interview while reflecting on his daughter Ysabel’s birthday and graduation party, presumably filmed for the film. issue in June 2021.
He also said he had hoped that Ysabel would choose to go to college in Arizona and that he could “nurture an almost family-like relationship” with Christine.
“Kody’s not one to hide his emotions. Instead, he’ll show you how he feels and I think he’s just super sad,” Christine said in her own confessional interview. “And it’s bittersweet. He loves Ysabel and he hasn’t spent enough time with her and I think he probably realizes that.”

In a previous episode of “Sister Wives,” the former partners told Kody’s three remaining wives that Christine was leaving Kody and moving with their 12-year-old daughter, Truely, to Utah. They also argued over Kody’s decision not to visit Ysabel at Christine’s house because the teenager went to school in person.
Kody previously said Ysabel would “benefit more” from spending time with her friends in her senior year. “But she will be fine,” he added.
Robyn, Kody’s fourth wife, was also struggling with Christine’s decision to leave Kody and be away from the family, especially because all of the Brown parents and children who lived in Utah got together and had a wonderful time celebrating Ysabel.
“Why isn’t it worth fighting for? Why isn’t it worth staying?” she asked the cameras rhetorically in a solo interview.

“I don’t know, I’m just one of those people who’s constantly hoping something’s going to kick in for somebody and they’re just going, ‘Oh, it’s worth figuring it out and staying’,” he said. she continued.
She said she would watch her family celebrate that day and feel that. “I believe God can do miracles,” she added.
Kody didn’t seem so optimistic, however.
“The message we had to the world about functional polygamy seems so dysfunctional now,” he said in his confessional interview.
