Sister Wives fans, brace yourselves! Kody Brown just revealed shocking news about his ongoing connection to Janelle Brown. This has led to big reactions from everyone.
In the latest episode of Sister Wives, aired on February 2, Janelle took a road trip. She traveled cross-country with Christine Brown and her husband, David Woolley. After their splits from Kody, the trio reflected on what happened. Janelle shared that she is now thinking about a spiritual release. This is something she never thought she would need.
Kody Brown made a surprising confession. He hinted that he still feels a strong bond with Janelle. He even questioned if they have a “karmic” obligation to one another.
Let’s break it all down.
Sister Wives: Janelle Brown Considers a Spiritual Release – But Who Does She Call?
As Janelle and Christine hit the road, they paused to think about Meri Brown. She recently decided to get a spiritual release from Kody.
“I wish Meri well,” Janelle said, adding, “I really want all the good things for her because I feel like she’s been through the wringer.”
Christine, who left Kody in 2021, agreed: “I hope she can get in a loving relationship.”
Janelle then admitted that Meri’s spiritual release made her think about doing the same.
“I know Meri has just recently gotten a release, like what we call a release, which is a divorce,” she explained. “And it’s made me think, ‘Huh, I kind of like the idea of getting a spiritual release.’ But I don’t even know who to call.”
It was a powerful moment – one that left fans wondering if Janelle is finally ready to sever all ties with Kody for good.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s ‘Karmic Connection’ to Janelle – What Does That Even Mean?
In a separate confessional, Kody made it clear that he didn’t feel the need for a spiritual divorce from either Meri or Christine.
However, when it came to Janelle, he wasn’t so sure.
“I don’t know if there’s some kind of karmic connection that Janelle and I are obligated to still,” he admitted.
Fans immediately raised eyebrows at Kody’s comment. While Christine and Meri have fully moved on, it seems like Kody isn’t quite ready to let Janelle go-even though they officially split in 2022.
Could this mean Kody still has feelings for Janelle? Or is he just struggling to accept how much his family dynamic has changed?

Sister Wives: Christine and Janelle Call Out Kody’s ‘Ridiculous’ Religious Rule
A heated moment in the episode happened when Janelle, Christine, and Meri confronted Robyn Brown. She claimed a wife isn’t really separate from her husband until she sleeps with someone else.
Janelle was not having it.
“I just think that’s bulls—, I’m sorry,” she told Christine. “I mean, I think that’s dogmatic. That’s a dogma I used to hear, and I used to be like, ‘OK, whatever.’”
Christine took it a step further, sarcastically telling the cameras:
“Go have sex with somebody, then that marriage is over. You can move on!”
Meanwhile, Meri also chimed in, questioning the logic behind this belief.
“Until I have sex with somebody, that means I’m still attached to Kody? I don’t think it means that,” she said. “I think it really is more for if you’re going to go outside of your marriage and have sexual relations, then now that marriage is nullified.”
Their reactions make it clear: they’re not waiting for some outdated religious rule to dictate when they can move on.

Sister Wives: What’s Next for Janelle Brown? Is She Finally Ready to Move On?
At this point, it seems like Janelle is one step away from making her split from Kody 100% official – at least in her own mind and heart.
She is still figuring out the process. However, her desire for a spiritual release shows she is ready to close this chapter of her life.
Kody, on the other hand, seems conflicted. While he claims to accept the breakups, his comment about a “karmic connection” with Janelle shows that he may not be as over it as he pretends to be.
Since Christine is happily married to David Woolley and Meri is looking for a new relationship, the question is:
Will Janelle Brown take the final step and fully cut ties with Kody Brown?

Sister Wives: Fans React: “Kody Can’t Handle Losing Control”
Of course, Sister Wives fans had plenty to say about Kody’s latest confession.
“Kody saying he still has a karmic connection to Janelle is just his way of saying he still wants control over her life.”
“I hope Janelle gets that spiritual release and moves on. Kody doesn’t deserve to be in her thoughts anymore!”
“Robyn’s rule about needing to have sex with someone else to be ‘divorced’ is ridiculous. These women don’t need Kody’s permission to leave!”
With Season 19 of Sister Wives heating up, it’s clear that Janelle’s journey isn’t over yet – but she’s getting closer than ever to total freedom.
Will she officially cut all ties with Kody? Or will his “karmic connection” keep her from fully moving on?
