Christine Brown is grateful for David Wooley after her divorce from ex-husband Kody Brown.
“It’s really nice to be with someone who doesn’t have any ‘special requirements’ before we get married,” Christine, 51, wrote via Instagram on Monday, September 11, alongside photos of herself and David, 63, celebrating the start of football season. “I like to be loved for just being who I am. I love you @david__wooley! #marriage #soulmates #loveofmylife #blessed.”
Christine, who spiritually married Kody, 54, in 1995, decided to end her marriage to the patriarch and move to Utah in November 2021. She spoke exclusively in March We weekly that she felt like she had lost her voice in the family.
“Every time we’ve made important decisions, I go through a period where I think, ‘Does my opinion even matter?’ That’s when we struggle the most… is when I feel like I don’t really have anything to say or I don’t really have an opinion,” she said at the time.
Fans of Sister Women are well aware of Kody’s “special requirements” for his women, which have been mentioned at various points during the TLC series and which include modest clothing and little to no alcohol consumption. There’s also the idea of ”sacred solitude,” where the women have to spend time alone while he divides his time between them.
The concept of ‘sacred solitude’ was revisited by Christine in the most recent episode of Sister Womenaired on Sunday, September 10 and filmed in December 2022. Meri, 52, celebrated Christmas Eve with Kody, 54, and Robyn, 44. Christine later arrived at the vacation rental, where she stayed for several days.
“Sacred loneliness? Like you have to honor the fact that you’re lonely?’ she joked during the season 18 episode. Kody, for his part, clarified that the “special requirements” were only for Christine and Janelle, 54, as they asked to join the family and were not “courted” as Meri, 52, and Robyn, 44.

Kody and Christine share daughters Aspen, 28, Mykelti, 27, Gwendolyn, 21, Ysabel, 20, and Truely, 13, and son Paedon, 25. In addition to his children with Christine, Kody shares son Solomon, 11, and daughter Ariella, 7 , with wife Robin Brown and adopted her three children from a previous marriage: son Dayton, 21, and daughters Aurora, 21, and Breanna, 19. He is also the father of six children: Logan, 29, Madison, 27, Hunter, 26, Garrison, 25, Gabriel, 21, and Savannah 18 – with ex Janelle Brown and shares 27-year-old Leon with ex Meri Brown.
After filming the holiday episodes of Sister women, Janelle and Meri also announced their respective splits from Kody in December 2022 and January 2023, respectively. Janelle confirmed in December 2022 that she and Kody have been “working out” for several months. Meri, meanwhile, released a joint statement with the patriarch in January, saying they had decided to “permanently end” their marriage.
Christine, meanwhile, announced her engagement to David in April after less than a year of dating. “David treats me like a queen and tells me I’m beautiful every day,” she shared Us in a statement at the time. ‘I’ve never been so in love and the world seems a better place with him in it. I am so excited about the wonderful adventure we will embark on for the rest of our lives.”
In the midst of her new romance, Christine reflected on how her views on plural marriage have changed over time. “For years I cared. Whatever he needed, whatever he wanted – I wanted to be the best woman ever,” she shared on an August episode of the show. “Even if he didn’t care, I would have done whatever he needed. But I’m ready.”
