The romance of Janelle Brown and Kody Brown hit very rough waters during season 17 of sister wives. While some fans believe that the show’s final season will end with Janelle’s decision to leave her decades-old marriage, we’re not so sure about that. After all, the images that FTA currently being broadcast is quite old. However, we don’t necessarily think things got better between the odd couple. We’ve collected three recent clues that suggest Janelle really dumped Kody and one clue that she hasn’t.
Kody Brown launched a business without his second wife
In August 2022, Kody Brown made a business move that made it clear that he no longer considers himself part of a plural family. The 18-year-old father, who has long insisted that family money is a “common resource,” has launched a business. The business name seems to suggest that he only belongs to the family that he shares with Robyn Brown. Only Robyn Brown and Kody Brown own the business.
According to OKAY! Magazine, Dabsark Entertainment, LLC was founded in May with Robyn Brown and Kody Brown named as members. Meri Brown and Janelle Brown, Kody’s other wives, were not listed on the paperwork. Dabsark is a portmanteau of the family names; Dayton, Aurora, Breanna, Solomon, Ariella, Robyn and Kody. It is not yet known what Dabsark Entertainment does.
Janelle Brown and Kody Brown sat separately during Logan Brown and Michelle Petty’s wedding
For months, sister wives fans have speculated about the status of Janelle and Kody’s marriage. Fans insisted that Janelle Brown dumped Kody Brown and they backed it up with circumstantial evidence. Still, some believe that a family event in October 2022 is all the proof needed to assume the couple is no longer together. In October, Logan Brown married his longtime love, Michelle Petty, in an intimate outdoor ceremony. the seating plan gave away everything, fans argue.
The couple made sure Michelle’s mom and Logan’s mom got front-row seats, but left the rest of the seats open for the rest of the guests to choose where to sit. The plural couple did not sit together even though Logan was Janelle and Kody’s eldest child. Kody was seen sitting a row back and across the aisle from Janelle. Traditionally, the groom’s parents would sit together, but sometimes, in the event of a divorce, they choose not to sit together.
Janelle Brown celebrated her daughter’s birthday without Kody Brown
More recently, Janelle Brown fueled split rumors by celebrating her youngest son’s birthday without mentioning Kody Brown. Janelle took to Instagram to wish her daughter, Savanah Brown, a happy 18th birthday. Janelle said they celebrated the birthday milestone early while visiting Las Vegas. They were in town for the holidays with Logan and Michelle.

Kody wasn’t mentioned in the scream and hasn’t appeared in a single photo Janelle posted in over a year. Kody once suggested that birthdays were a big problem in the Brown family. Since he completely ignored gabriel brown birthday and seemed to not show up for Savanah’s big day, one can assume Janelle and Kody aren’t on speaking terms. It wouldn’t be the first time the father of 18 children has dropped out because he disagreed with his mother.
Gwendlyn Brown says it hasn’t happened yet
While there are plenty of indications that Janelle and Kody’s marriage is over, one annoying clue suggests that the mother of six is still hanging on, despite her spiritual husband’s complete lack of effort and consideration.

Gwendlyn, one of Kody and Christine’s middle daughters, recently launched a Patreon to talk about his famous family and his reality TV experience. The 21-year-old college student spilled a lot of tea, so if Janelle Brown dumped Kody Brown, she probably wouldn’t lie about it. Still, we don’t know how much Gwen is allowed to say. After all, the Brown family is still working with TLC on more sister wives seasons.
