‘Sister Wives’ Recap: Kody’s Kids Ysabel and Maddie on Their Relationships With Their Father

Update on Kody Brown’s Family Dynamics

Following Kody Brown’s separations from three of his four wives, the relationships with several of his adult children have shifted dramatically. In recent updates, his daughters, Ysabel and Maddie, opened up about where things stand with their father.

Ysabel Brown’s Perspective

Ysabel, the daughter of Kody and Christine Brown, discussed the current state of her relationship with her father, explaining that they have limited contact. While she acknowledged that time and distance have contributed to this, Ysabel emphasized focusing on her own growth and independence rather than lingering emotional tension.

“We don’t talk often. I love him, but sometimes it’s better to let distance bring clarity,” Ysabel shared.

She added that her mother’s move to Utah positively influenced her outlook, helping her feel more grounded and supported despite strained family ties.

Maddie Brush’s Viewpoint

Maddie Brush (née Brown), daughter of Kody and Janelle Brown, offered a more pragmatic stance. She said that while communication with her father is not as frequent as before, their bond remains respectful and steady.

“Dad and I still talk occasionally, mostly about the kids. It’s not perfect, but it’s peaceful.”

Living in North Carolina with her husband Caleb and their children, Maddie admitted that physical distance and differing lifestyles have made regular contact harder, but she prefers keeping family interactions drama-free.

Changing Family Structure

The shifting relationships among Kody’s children reflect the broader changes within the Sister Wives family. As several of Kody’s adult children create lives outside the plural household, their priorities have evolved away from the shared family structure that once defined their upbringing.


Author Summary: Ysabel and Maddie Brown reveal that their relationships with father Kody are cordial but distant, shaped by physical separation and personal growth after his family fractures.
