Where Does Janelle From ‘Sister Wives’ Live Now? Here's an Update on the TLC Star
Published Sept. 22 2024, 11:01 p.m. ET
Some major upheavals have rocked the lives of Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and his four wives, Meri, Christine, Janelle, and Meri. Over the past couple of years, Christine Brown divorced Kody and moved from Flagstaff, Ariz., to Utah in order to be closer to her adult kids. Not too long after that, Janelle Brown announced that she and Kody were separated. And then Meri left Kody, too.
In the midst of all of these changes, people have started to wonder where Janelle is living now that she is no longer with Kody.
It’s a good question, especially because the Browns always seem to be on the move. When Sister Wives premiered, Kody, his wives, and their many children were living in one house in Lehi, Utah. But the threat of being arrested for polygamy forced them to move to Las Vegas. Years later, the Browns moved to Flagstaff, Ariz., where Kody had hopes of uniting the family under one roof at the family's Coyote Pass property. Instead, the family fell apart.
Where does Janelle Brown live? She seems to be splitting her time between Arizona and North Carolina.
For a while, Janelle was living in an RV on the Coyote Pass property, although after struggling without water or electricity hookups, she elected to move into a rental home for the winter. She then lived in a few different apartments in Flagstaff and also spent some more time in the RV at a place with water and electricity.
In Season 19, audiences see Janelle taking a look at some property in Ennis, Mont. with her daughter Maddie. At the time, it seems as though they had plans to buy property together in Montana and build on it. However, as Season 19 was filmed way back in late 2022, plans have changed!
Judging from the info Janelle has shared on social media, she is currently splitting her time between Flagstaff, Ariz., and North Carolina, where Maddie and Caleb live with their three children. (Mykelti and Tony and their kids also recently moved there, too!)
Janelle has shared multiple updates about the garden she has tended there but also posts regularly about meeting up with friends and family in Arizona. In fact, she seems to be quite the jet setter these days, having also taken trips to Vegas, the Dominican Republic, Hawaii, California, and Wyoming.
Janelle and Maddie have plans to start a cut flower farm together in North Carolina.
Although Janelle's time is mostly split between Arizona and North Carolina, she shared in July of 2024 that she will be "spending a lot more time" in North Carolina — and we think we know why! In March of 2024, Janelle purchased 156 acres of land in Chocowinity, N.C. (per In Touch). The land is agricultural and does not currently have a house built on it, but we have to assume that's part of the plan. It's not the only plan, though!
In February of 2024, Janelle, Caleb, and Maddie officially filed a business application for Taeda Farms, a cut flower farm. It would seem that the current plan is to turn the Chocowinity property (which is located near where Caleb and Maddie live) into the flower farm. If Janelle's gardening updates are any indicator, the three of them stand to see some success in their floral venture! We can't wait to see Janelle bloom in North Carolina.
