Christine Brown is reflecting on her journey.
Nearly three years after announcing her split from Kody Brown, the Sister Wives star shared a look into life on her own terms.
“Over the last few years, many people have reached out to me, looking for the courage to make a change,” Christine wrote in a July 7 Instagram post. “Let this be the day that you step out into the uncomfortable, unfamiliar or even the scary. Change is scary. But we can do scary things.”
Alongside her message, which included hashtags encouraging her followers to “Make a Change” and “Believe in Yourself,” Christine shared a video compilation of photos comparing herself prior to her split from Kody to how she looks now, nearly a year after tying the knot with husband David Woolley.
Set to Pink’s “Courage,” older photos show Christine looking sad and tearful before the chorus drops and she shows off her new hairstyle in a string of refreshed selfies.
Naturally, Christine’s followers found the post motivating. “Needed this right now,” one commenter wrote. “It's like a sign.”
Others were simply in awe of Christine’s grit.
“Everything we want is outside of our comfort zone,” another wrote. “Congratulations on making that move!”
Christine—who shares Aspyn, 28, Mykelti, 27, Paedon, 24, Gwendlyn, 21, Ysabel, 20, and Truely, 13, with Kody—shared she and Kody had parted ways in 2021.
“After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave him,” the 52-year-old wrote in a statement at the time. “We will continue to be a positive presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family.”
Kody subsequently split from spiritual wives Meri Brown and Janelle Brown in 2023 and 2022, respectively—leaving only Robyn Brown, his legal wife, still in the marriage.
And in addition to her big change in 2021, Christine is looking ahead to new changes as she enters married life again with David.
“I love being a newlywed in my 50s!!” Christine wrote in another Instagram post last month. “A little older and a little wiser.”

In January 2024, a year after she and Kody Brown announced their breakup, Meri revealed on Instagram that she had begun dating Amos Andrews the previous October. But in February 2024, Meri confirmed on Instagram that they had called it quits.
"She looked like a soccer mom," Kody Brown once joked on Sister Wives of meeting then-single mom Robyn in 2009. "She had a van, three kids and was divorced. I thought, 'I didn't need a van, a divorced woman, and three kids in my life—that's just trouble.'"
Nearly a decade and a half on, though, they're still kicking it, the pair adding son Solomon, 12, and daughter Ariella, 7, to the squad. As for bringing on other teammates, it's not in the game plan. "I really, really struggle with it because it feels, like, 'Oh, well. Those didn't work. So, on to [someone] new,'" Robyn said on the December Sister Wives: One on One special of Meri, Janelle and Christine leaving the fold. "That's hard for me. That's really, really hard for me. It feels disrespectful."
She got the man and the family. Going official with her and David Woolley's romance on Valentine's Day 2023, Christine Brown shared, "I finally found the love of my life, David. The first time he held me close, it felt like my soul took its first breath. He's wonderful and kind, incredible with my children and an adorable grandpa. I never dreamed I could find a love like this."
Two months later he added to the fantasy with a spring proposal. "David treats me like a queen and tells me I'm beautiful everyday," Christine told People. "I've never been in love like this before and the world seems like a brighter place with him in it."
Tying the knot in Utah Oct. 7, she wrote, "I'm so blessed! I've married my best friend."
The first of the 18 Brown children to walk down the aisle, Janelle's eldest daughter, Madison Brown, now 28, wed Caleb Brush at a 2016 outdoor wedding in Montana captured by TLC's cameras. Nearly seven years later, the two have multiplied their love with Josephine joining big brother Axel, 6, and big sister Evie, 4, in February.
"One month as a family of 5 and my heart is bursting," North Carolina-based Maddie wrote on Instagram in March. "I didn't know this kind of peace amongst chaos could be had."
Four years after their engagement aired on the TLC reality show, Meri Brown's only child, Leon Brown, has settled in Denver with partner Audrey Kriss. "my sweetest symphony," Leon, 28, raved of their fiancé. "Life with you truly is so sweet." Echoed Audrey, "Being your partner and watching your growth and coming into yourself over the years has been an honor and joy."
Eldest kid Logan Brown, 29, got the gang back together when he married longtime girlfriend Michelle Petty in Arizona this past October. "It was a beautiful day and this mama's heart was mush the whole time," Janelle shared on Instagram of her son's wedding. "You always have such a sense of peace when your children find amazing life partners."
More than six years after her 2016 wedding to Antonio "Tony" Padron, Mykelti Brown joked that they'd already tested the limits of their marriage vows by welcoming twins Archer and Ace into the fold in November 2022.
"We have 3 kids and 4 moves under our belt," noted the 27-year-old, also mom to Avalon, 2. "A whole lot of good times and some hard times #surprisetwins But here we are still doing this whole marriage thing."
In the five years since they wed, Christine's daughter Aspyn Brown, 28, and husband Mitch Thompson have traveled everywhere from Paris to Alaska. But last December, they put down roots, Mitch sharing on Instagram, "We bought our first home! Just in time for Christmas."
Before hitting their one-year anniversary, Christine's daughter Gwendlyn Brown and love Beatriz Queiroz went to the happiest place on earth and marked six months together with chocolate fondue. Then came the really sweet part. The 22-year-old shared a glimpse at the candlelit, rose-filled proposal on Instagram in November 2022, writing simply, "i'm engaged!!"
The couple wed in July, sharing the news on Instagram the caption: "Say hello to mrs (x2) queiroz."
