Still family. Christine Brown‘s daughter Gwendlyn Brown made it clear where she stands with Janelle Brown amid her separation from dad Kody Brown.
The 21-year-old Sister Wives star uploaded a recap of season 17’s third episode via YouTube on Sunday, January 1, giving fans an inside look at her reaction while reliving the Brown family’s ups and downs. As she watched Kody, 53, speak to his spouses via Zoom to discuss their plans amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Gwendlyn praised Christine, 50, and Janelle, 53, for standing their ground.
“I love her getting confident!” Gwendlyn said of Janelle, who called out Kody for declaring that he didn’t want his and Christine’s daughter Ysabel, 19, returning to school in person. “That’s hot of her. Janelle’s cool as hell.”
Gwendlyn went on to address her father’s expectations for the plural family and his tense relationships with his 18 children. “I know he has a lot of good excuses, but at the same time, we want our dad to show up,” she noted. “It’s tough when there’s a lot of kids.”
The TLC personality previously hinted that she wasn’t very close with Kody’s fourth wife, Robyn Brown, telling her YouTube viewers in December 2022 that watching the show back “makes me like [Robyn] less.” However, Gwendlyn confessed in Sunday’s vlog that she has a strong bond with Meri Brown.
“In a very large family, there are a lot of favorites … and Meri and I talk a lot,” she explained while answering fan questions. “While not everybody gets along, we are — all of us — close to at least one other person in our family.”
Gwendlyn has been outspoken about the Brown family’s dynamic since Christine and Kody announced their split in November 2021. The former couple share six children in total, and the aftermath of
