Inside Kody And Christine Brown's Shocking Split

After a 25-year marriage and an 11-year run on "Sister Wives," Christine Brown is calling it quits. The third wife of main star Kody Brown, Christine made the announcement via Instagram, writing, "After more than 25 years together, Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave." She noted that the two "will continue to be a strong presence in each other's lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family." She concludes by asking fans "for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family."

In a Twitter statement, Kody chimed in, stating, "Christine's decision to leave comes with a great deal of sadness." He further added, "We enjoyed many years together and I have a large amount of respect and admiration for her" and that "although we are moving forward on different paths, we will always remain committed parents." Did you catch that hint of shade? Kody made it clear it was Christine's "decision," although some might argue he gave her no other choice.

In March, Christine lamented about her marital problems with Kody, telling Us Weekly, "The thing that I struggled with most is when I feel like I don't have a say or when I feel like I'm not as important or things like that." She further added, "Anytime we've had major decisions, I go through a time where I'm like, 'Does my opinion really even matter here?' That's when we struggle the most."
