It’s no secret that Sister Wives star Kody Brown has a tumultuous relationship with his children. Garrison Brown was at odds with Kody before his tragic death. And onscreen, fans have seen his rift with Gabriel and Maddie grow over time.

A TikToker reportedly caught Kody in public with a few of his children out in public. Surprisingly enough, the children he shares with Robyn Brown were nowhere in sight.

Is this a sign that Kody is trying to mend fences with the children he shares with Christine, Meri, and Janelle?

A Sister Wives Fan Catches Kody Brown On Camera

In the early days of Sister Wives, Kody Brown regularly went on outings with his children. However, those trips aren’t at all common in 2024. Bad blood and broken relationships really drove everyone apart.

“Kody sighting in Utah,” one Redditor titled their post. “These are screenshots from a TikTok that was posted two hours ago. Kody was spotted at a Barnes and Noble in Utah today with [Truely], Ysabel and Tony Padron. Interesting combo of people 🤔”

There seems to be some discrepancy over whether or not the TikTok was recent. As many Redditors point out, the Browns are dressed for cold weather and it’s been around 80 degrees in Utah lately.

Regardless, many felt pleasantly surprised to see that he was spending time with more of his children. Some did suggest that he felt pressured to include Christine’s children after she filed a lawsuit against him.

Comments included:

• “I’m genuinely glad to see he’s hanging out with some of his kids. I had wondered why Truely wasn’t included in the Sedona stargazing. But maybe Kody was spending those days with her and Ysabel.
• “Well Christine did file for child support, so he will no doubt want to magically spend lots of time with her now in true narc style!”
• “I really do hope the best for his relationships with the kids. I think sometimes people have moved on from the fact that he also lost a child. Whether he was in a good spot with him or not – he still lost a child. The pain must be staggering for the entire family.”
• “Maybe he is making more of an effort to connect after Garrison. It’s good to see, let’s hope he’s doing it with all his adult children.”

Maddie Brown Brush Continues To Keep Her Father At Arm’s Length

This season on Sister Wives, fans caught a glimpse into Kody’s escalating feud with Maddie. He claims she cut him off because he was tired of her “fishing for gossip” with him. However, Janelle says Maddie and several of her other children have strained relationships with Kody because he cut contact with them.

It’s largely a “he said, she said” situation, but most fans believe the wives and children over Kody.
