Janelle Brownhas faced extreme hardships in recent years, both on and off her TLC seriesSister Wives. Her life as a happily “married” polygamist was shattered whenChristine Brownannounced that she was divorcing their mutual husband,Kody Brown. Shortly after this occurred, Janelle was also inclined to separate from her husband. Even Kody’s first wife,Meri Brown, eventually followed suit, afterKody made a startling confession, telling the wife he had once referred to as “the bait” for their polygamous lifestyle that he wished he had never married her.
Not only has Janelle been through a separation, she also shared on the series that after being forced to leave her rental house in Season 17,she chose to live on the family’s shared plot of land, Coyote Pass, in an RV that she purchased online, “sight unseen.“A chyron at the beginning of the season let the viewers know that the initial episodes of Season 19 were filmed in late 2022. The date is important to keep in mind, because the series shows Kody and Janelle’s son,Garrison Brown, who tragically passed awayin March 2024. With all thischange and heartbreakin Janelle’s life, fans have naturally been wondering, where is the reality star now?

What Does the Future Hold for Janelle Brown?
InTouchexclusively confirmedthatJanelle recently purchased a North Carolina acreage, which is listed as an “agricultural” property for the company Taeda Farms, LLC. The property is close to where Janelle’s daughterMadison Brownlives, and she and her husbandCaleb Brushfiled a business application for Taeda Farms, which is meant to be a “cut flower farm.” It appears that Janelle has turned her love of gardening into a viable business option, and plans to take over North Carolina, one bouquet at a time.
The family continues to sort out their mutual investment property, which needs to be paid off in full before they can split up the lots as planned and begin construction. Since Kody is unwilling to share his immediate plans to get the property paid for,it is gratifying to see Janelle investing in herself rather than relying on her ex-husband’s income scheme. By establishing a new family business with her daughter, she is hopefully setting-up a consistent source of revenue for herself thatno longer depends upon Kody’s interference or approval. Witnessing the wives move towards independence, and breaking free from the repressive roles Kody wished to keep them in is inspiring, and the series should continue to foreground the women’s growth post-separation.
