The success of 18 children: Was leaving their deranged father Kody the key to their success? Their journey to 2026.

The Brown family, stars of TLC’s Sister Wives, has always been anything but ordinary. As the children have grown up and ventured out across the country, their lives continue to fascinate the fans who watched them navigate the complexities of polygamy on screen.

From the moment Kody Brown introduced viewers to his four wives and their many children back in 2010, audiences have watched this large family mature into adulthood.

Now in 2026, these kids have carved out their own paths, with some maintaining close ties to their famous family and others choosing to step away from the spotlight entirely.

The past few years have brought significant changes to the Brown clan. After Christine, Janelle and Meri all left their spiritual marriages to Kody—leaving him with only Robyn as his remaining wife—the family dynamics shifted dramatically. The children have responded to this upheaval in different ways: Some have rallied around their mothers during these new chapters, while others have distanced themselves from the family drama altogether. And while there have been joyful milestones—like new marriages and baby announcements— we’ve also seen heartbreaking loss unite the fractured family during their grief.

From Utah to North Carolina to Las Vegas and beyond, the Brown children are building lives that look nothing like the plural marriage setup they grew up in. Grab a slice of Rice Krispies Turkey and get ready to dive into where all 18 (yes, 18!) kids are now and what they’ve been up to.

‘Sister Wives’ Kids: Where Are They Now in 2026?

The success of 18 children: Was leaving their deranged father Kody the key to their success? Their journey to 2026.

Kody & Janelle’s Kids

Logan Brown

The oldest of the bunch, Logan will turn 33 this year and has firmly established himself outside the reality TV world. After earning both his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and an MBA from UNLV, he’s working as Director of Strategic Operations at a Las Vegas travel company. He married longtime girlfriend Michelle Petty in October 2022, and the couple plans to stay childfree—a choice that makes sense given how much Logan helped raise his younger siblings when Janelle was working long hours in Utah. In a touching tribute to his late brother Garrison, Logan and Michelle adopted two of Garrison’s rescue cats—Catthew and Patches.

Madison “Maddie” Brown Brush

Janelle and Kody’s first daughter became a mom of four when she welcomed daughter Emilia Estelle on March 14, 2025. The baby’s middle name is a beautiful tribute to Maddie’s late brother Garrison—Estelle means “star” in Latin, connecting to Garrison’s love of astronomy and nighttime photography. Maddie and husband Caleb Brush also have three other children: Axel, Evie and Josephine. The family lives in North Carolina, where they recently purchased property with Janelle to start a flower farm called Taeda Farms. Maddie has been estranged from Kody for years, and her children don’t know their grandfather.

Hunter Brown

After completing his nursing degree at Johns Hopkins University, Janelle and Kody’s second son settled in Las Vegas working in healthcare. Hunter, who attended the Air Force Academy and was a state champion wrestler in high school, has kept a relatively low profile but made brief appearances in Season 19 of Sister Wives to support his mom. Fans were thrilled to see him pop up at Christine’s wedding as well. He occasionally posts on social media about attending sports events with his brothers and friends.

Robert Garrison Brown

The family suffered a devastating loss when Garrison died by suicide on March 4, 2024 at age 25. He was found by his younger brother Gabriel—a trauma that still haunts the family. Garrison had served in the Army National Guard, reaching the rank of staff sergeant, and had disagreed with Kody over COVID protocols and parenting styles. On the first anniversary of his death, multiple family members honored his memory on social media, and several siblings got tattoos with a quote from his favorite movie Dragonheart: “To the stars, Bowen, to the stars.”

Gabriel Brown

Janelle and Kody’s youngest son was one of the first to call out the family’s dysfunction on camera. Gabriel—who opposed the Flagstaff move and sided with Garrison during COVID disagreements—currently lives in Las Vegas. In February 2025, he shared photos from Chicago, captioning one post about how he fell in love with Chicago alongside images of the skyline.

Here is a post that Gabriel made on Instagram:

Savanah Brown

Janelle and Kody’s youngest child graduated from high school in May 2023—a ceremony that brought the estranged exes together briefly. The quiet, gentle 21-year-old famously hated living in the RV with Janelle on Coyote Pass, and who could blame her? She occasionally appears on Sister Wives and seems to be living in North Carolina, where she recently traveled to Yellowstone with family members.

Kody & Meri’s Kids

Leon Brown

Meri and Kody’s only child together came out as transgender in June 2022, asking to be called Leon or Leo with they/them pronouns. They married their partner Audrey Kriss in October 2022 and currently live in Denver, maintaining a deliberately private life away from the Sister Wives cameras. While Meri has been publicly supportive of Leon’s transition, their relationship with Kody has reportedly been strained. Leon has been selective about their social media presence and rarely discusses the family publicly, though they did reunite with siblings at Garrison’s funeral in March 2024.

Kody & Christine’s Kids

Aspyn Brown Thompson

Christine and Kody’s oldest daughter has some exciting news to share in 2025. Aspyn—who manages a Kendra Scott store in Salt Lake City—revealed her pregnancy in April 2025 during a local news segment about Mother’s Day gift ideas. This will be the first child for Aspyn and her husband Mitch Thompson, who tied the knot back in 2018 in a Scottish-themed wedding complete with kilts. The couple lives in Utah near Christine and her new husband David Woolley. Aspyn was one of the kids who vocally opposed the family’s move to Flagstaff—and she was absolutely right about that call.

Mykelti Brown Padron

Christine and Kody’s second daughter has been busy with her three kids—daughter Avalon and twin sons Archer and Ace, born in November 2022. In a major move that left Christine heartbroken, Mykelti and husband Tony Padron relocated from Utah to North Carolina in 2024. Tony works as a chess instructor in Charlotte, pursuing his passion in one of the country’s top chess hubs.

Unlike many of her siblings, Mykelti maintains a cordial relationship with both Kody and Robyn, though she’s made it clear she won’t reconcile with her father until he makes amends with other family members too.

“My dad has reached out multiple times,” Mykelti told Pop Psych. “He reached out before he left [to film Special Forces]. Every time we’ve communicated, he’s reached out and he’s the one extending the foot, but it’s hard because with me, I’m a package deal. You’ve got to treat my whole family nice; you’ve got to treat my kids nice. You’ve got to talk to all of us. You can’t just have me. You have to have all of us.”

Paedon Brown

Christine and Kody’s only son made headlines when he moved to North Carolina in December 2024—another kid joining the growing East Coast Brown contingency. The tall, candid 27-year-old has worked various jobs—including security at a gentlemen’s club and serving in the National Guard. Paedon has been notably open about family conflicts— including addressing a past incident where he slapped his sister Gwendlyn—a feud that continues to keep them apart at family events. His Instagram bio reads “Christ is lord! God bless, my friend. Storyteller.”

Gwendlyn Brown Queiroz

Born just days after Gabriel in October 2001, Gwendlyn married Beatriz Queiroz in July 2023. The two were co-workers at a fast food restaurant and fell in love. In December 2024, she graduated from Northern Arizona University one semester early—an impressive achievement. Gwen notably did not attend Christine’s wedding to David Woolley, which majorly shocked fans. She’s also been open on social media about supporting her sibling Leon’s transition.

Ysabel Brown

Không có mô tả ảnh.

Christine and Kody’s fifth child dealt with serious scoliosis that required surgery—and marked a turning point for Christine when Kody didn’t show up for the procedure. That experience helped Christine realize she could handle things on her own. Ysabel has expressed some concerns about how quickly her mom moved on with David, but she most likely currently lives in Utah with them.

Truely Brown

Born in 2010, Christine and Kody’s youngest daughter had a scary hospitalization due to kidney failure when she was young—one of the most emotional storylines of the early seasons. Now 14, Truely lives in Utah with her mom Christine and stepdad David. She attends regular school and stays mostly out of the spotlight.

Kody & Robyn’s Kids

Aurora Brown

Kody legally adopted Robyn’s oldest daughter in 2015—a genuinely emotional moment on the show. Recent episodes have shown Aurora grappling with her feelings about plural marriage, telling Robyn she doesn’t have “the same call to it” that her parents do. In episodes that aired in Dec. 2024, she admitted to being uncertain about following in her mother’s footsteps. There have been hints she may be dating someone, but Aurora still appears to live at home with Kody and Robyn.

Dayton Brown

Robyn’s oldest son from her first marriage was also adopted by Kody in 2015. Reports surfaced in 2023 that Dayton was living in an RV in Kody and Robyn’s backyard in Flagstaff, but the family hasn’t confirmed this. There’s also been wild speculation online that Dayton’s biological father may be battling cancer, which led Dayton to move in with him and go back to his surname, but these are unverified.

Breanna Brown

Breanna—Robyn’s youngest daughter from her first marriage—turned 21 in April 2025 and has lived a relatively private life. Like her sister Aurora, she’s spoken on recent Sister Wives episodes about being uncertain about plural marriage, telling Robyn she has “conflicting thoughts” and doesn’t think it’s for her right now.

Solomon Brown

Kody and Robyn’s first biological child together was born in 2011, and his birth was featured on the show. Now 14, Solomon lives in Arizona with his parents and siblings, staying mostly out of the public eye beyond occasional appearances when episodes focus on Robyn and Kody’s household.

Ariella Mae Brown

The youngest of all 18 Brown children, Ariella was born in January 2016—making her just 10 years old. As the baby of the entire family, she’s growing up in Arizona with Kody and Robyn, living a much more private childhood than her older siblings experienced.
