Sister Wives’ Kody Brown Was Bracing to Be ‘Jealous’ When Christine Found New Love: ‘Still in Self-Deception’

Kody Brown is open about his feelings for ex Christine Brown who is moving on.

In Sunday’s episode Sister wivesKody, 54, revealed he is still in a period of “self-delusion” following his split from Christina, 51, in November 2021.

“There was that moment when Christine told me she didn’t want me to stay with her anymore where I was ambivalent,” he recalled of their breakup. “And the reason I was ambivalent, I think, was literally because I thought she was playing a game.”

“It means she is gone [is] relief. The consequence with the whole family is sadness, sadness that children struggle with… I mean, I think every child’s biggest fantasy is that mom and dad love each other for the rest of their lives,” he continued. “I don’t know it’s just the whole breakup—divorce—oh, now I have this tick of shame.”

Sister’s Wife’s Christine Brown says it’s ‘naive’ to think she and her ex Kody could be friends

When a friend asked him how he would feel if Christine found new love – she has since moved on with fiancé David Woolley – he replied: “I might feel funny when that happens. I might get jealous when that happens.”

“I mean, I definitely feel betrayed,” Kody admitted in the confessional. “But I’ll also say, ‘Well, I wish you a good life.’ What can I do? I won’t be disturbed when another guy is in her life. I do not think.”

Kody also thought about what he could have done differently to save his marriage to Christine.

“There was a time in my life when I realized that the biggest mistake I made was that Christine was in a situation of exclusion when she was telling me how much she hated polygamy, and my mistake was when she said, ‘I hate polygamy,’ ” , he shared.

He continued, “I was like, ‘What the hell? You wouldn’t have a family, you wouldn’t have me, you wouldn’t have our kids!’ instead of saying ‘I know it’s hard, baby. I’m sorry. I love you. And I wish it didn’t hurt.'”

However, Christine remembered the events of their relationship differently.

“No, it wasn’t just hatred of polygamy,” she said in the confessional. “It was realizing that after giving so much and doing everything he wanted, and everything he wanted me to do, I did, but when I needed help, he said no.”

She added: “They are not only my children in my responsibility. They are our children.”

Kody admitted that he would still like to sit down with Christine. “I was humbled enough by this experience to say, ‘Yes, Christine, because I did some things wrong. I want to admit it. Say I’m sorry. And basically set you free,’ he said.

Despite the divorce, Christine recently told PEOPLE that she has no regrets about the life she’s built with their extended family.

“Just because I left, it doesn’t mean we didn’t make it,” she told PEOPLE in a recent cover story. “It [only] means there are changes.”

She continued: “Our goal was to raise amazing children, and we succeeded. It was a success for us.”
