Sister Wives’ Christine Brown thanks fan who tells her she ‘doesn’t need a man’ after star SPLITS from husband Kody
SISTER Wives star Christine Brown agreed with a fan that she “doesn’t need a man” after splitting from her husband Kody Brown.
The reality TV personality, 49, announced on Tuesday that she decided to “leave” her partner of 25 years after years of marital struggles.
Christine and Kody have been spending a lot of time apart, especially after she recently moved to Utah, away from him and his other Sister Wives in Arizona.
Over the weekend, fans noticed how “happy” she looked in a Halloween photo of her smiling as she posed in her costume.
In the comments, followers told her as such, with one even telling that she looks “awesome” and “doesn’t need a man, especially Kody.”
To that, Christine happily agreed and replied: “Thank you, love.”
Shortly afterward, she showed just how true the fan’s sentiment was and revealed she and Kody had, indeed, split.
She posted on Instagram on Tuesday: “After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave.

"We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family.
"At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family. With love, Christine Brown.”
Shortly after, Kody released a statement of his own over Twitter.
The emotional post read: "Christine's decision to leave comes with a great deal of sadness.
"We enjoyed many years together and I have a large amount of respect and admiration for her.
"Although we are moving forward on different paths, we will always remain committed parents."
Kody and Christine spiritually married in 1994.
They share children Mykelti, Aspyn, Ysabel, Paedon, Gwendlyn and Truley.
Kody is still with his other three wives, Meri, Janelle, and Robyn.
The split speculation started when Christine moved to Utah with her youngest daughter Truley, 11, leaving Kody and his other sister wives in Arizona.
Christine sold the Arizona home she once shared with Kody for $700,000 last month after first threatening to move to Utah amid their martial troubles.
She is now living in a two-story duplex built in 2019 that has two living units attached next to each other as townhouses.
The reality star opened up about her new place during a recent Facebook Live with fans.
