Sister Wives star Maddie Brown Brush has welcomed her fourth child, and fans were quick to notice a deeply personal tribute in the baby’s name. The reality star and her husband, Caleb Brush, are now parents to a beautiful baby girl, Emilia Estelle, born on March 14, 2025.
The name “Estelle” holds deep meaning. Maddie shared that it honors her late brother, Garrison Brown, who sadly passed away in March 2024.
Keep reading for all the details on Maddie’s emotional tribute and fans’ reactions to the newest member of the Sister Wives family.
Sister Wives: Maddie Brown Brush Honors Garrison Brown With Baby Emilia’s Middle Name
Maddie Brown Brush has shared her grief and healing since her brother, Garrison Brown, died last year from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Garrison, who was known for his love of stargazing, had a special bond with Maddie’s older children, Axel and Evie K.
After Emilia was born, fans quickly noticed that the name “Estelle” means “star” in Latin. Many speculated that Maddie chose the name as a tribute to Garrison—and they were right.
One fan commented:
“She’s adorable, I love her name, especially Estelle. Is it like a tribute to Garrison since Estelle means ‘star’ in Latin?”
Maddie confirmed the heartfelt tribute, responding:
“That is exactly what it is. 🩵”
The touching tribute moved Sister Wives fans, who praised Maddie for keeping Garrison’s memory alive in such a meaningful way.
Fans reacted with love and support:
“That’s so sweet. What a tribute.”
“What a beautiful way to honor Garrison.”
“Congratulations, mama! So happy you didn’t have to wait until that next appointment!”
Sister Wives: Baby Emilia Arrives After a Long Wait
Maddie had been eagerly awaiting her daughter’s arrival. At 41 weeks pregnant, she posted a fun video update. She mentioned having one last doctor’s appointment if the baby didn’t come soon.
Fortunately, baby Emilia didn’t keep her waiting much longer. On March 15, Maddie shared joyful news. She posted a sweet photo of Emilia. Emilia was resting peacefully in a bassinet. She wore a plum-colored outfit with a matching hood.
Maddie captioned the announcement:
“Absolutely worth the wait, Miss Emilia Estelle Brush has finally made her grand entrance!”
“Our sweet girl took her time, keeping us all in suspense, but when she decided it was time—she didn’t waste a second. Born on 3/14, she arrived absolutely perfect. We are completely smitten with our newest little love. 🩵”
Maddie and Caleb are already loving life as a family of six, with Emilia joining big siblings Axel (7), Evie (5), and Josephine “Joey” (2).
Sister Wives: Maddie’s Journey After Garrison’s Passing & Family Struggles
Garrison’s passing deeply affected the Brown family, and Maddie has used her platform to raise awareness about mental health.
She previously shared her pain, saying:
“We all miss Garrison so much. I want to make sure his memory stays alive and that no one else has to feel what he did.”
Maddie also remains estranged from her father, Kody Brown, as seen on Sister Wives.
Janelle Brown revealed in a past episode:
“Kody really did kind of cut off communication with Caleb and Maddie when the family started to really dissolve, and the kids really don’t know who he is. He’s not been out to visit. He doesn’t call.”
Kody, however, blamed Maddie, claiming:
“To be honest, I didn’t really cut off communications with Madison. She cut it off with me.”
Maddie keeps her focus on her children and husband. She also honors Garrison’s memory, despite family tensions.
Will Baby Emilia’s Birth Be Featured on Sister Wives?
Season 19 returns in April 2025. Fans wonder if Maddie’s fourth pregnancy or Garrison’s passing will be featured.
Past seasons have shown Maddie’s life milestones, including:
The birth of her daughter Joey (Season 19)
Her relationship with Christine & Janelle
Her distance from Kody
It’s not clear if baby Emilia will be on the show. Still, Sister Wives fans are excited to see how Maddie and her family handle this new chapter.

It’s no wonder Garrison had problems with the way Kody treated him and some of the other Brown kids. He is a terrible person and a loser to boot. Wouldn’t go be with his daughter when she had surgery and used covid as the reason but went to Utah to officiate at a wedding during that same time period. Said he couldn’t afford to help pay for his daughter’s surgery and left it up to her mother to find the money while he gave Sobyn Robyn 64,000 dollars to buy dolls. Only a real loser of a parent would do that. Couldn’t care less about his child being in constant pain and kicking her to the curb so his current gold digger could buy dolls. Wouldn’t be around his boys again blaming covid because they didn’t quarantine like he wanted them to but hired and paid a Nanny to take care of his younger children and she gave the family covid. Robyn was at home full time being lazy as she always has been along with Kody being home 24/7s and 3 lazy adult children at home. 5 lazy adults sitting on their rumps 24/7s but hired and paid a Nanny because they all are lazy deadbeats that didn’t want to take care of Kody and Robyn’s younger kids. So refused to see his boys but allowed a Nanny that didn’t quarantine into the house paying her with money that could have gone to his daughter’s surgery, but their laziness was more important. What pathetic excuses for people they are.
