Everything We Know About Sister Wives Star Christine Brown’s Custody Dispute

Since 2021, Christine Brown and Kody Brown have gone their separate ways thanks to an unconventional divorce. The former couple had been married for over 20 years, but Christine never felt the love between them. But even with six children, the former couple found it hard to keep an amicable peace between them. Instead of moving on gracefully, the Sister Wives chose to rub the patriarch’s face in her new relationship. And Kody enjoyed throwing shade whenever he got the chance. The two are now in a custody dispute over their teenage daughter, Truely Brown, and it isn’t going well.  

Christine Brown is putting Truely first

Three years after calling it quits on their marriage, news broke that Christine had decided to sue Kody. The Sister Wives star filed a lawsuit against for child support. Christine is also asking for full custody of their 14-year-old daughter, Truely. The paperwork was filed on September 16 and showed the Utah native formally requesting the court to establish paternity of her youngest daughter. Christine is asking for this step since Kody isn’t listed on Truely’s birth certificate as her birth father. In earlier seasons, fans learned Kody couldn’t put his name on the birth certificate because it would put him at risk of being arrested by local authorities. 

Truely has grown up on Sister Wives, with her birth being a major plot during Season 1. At the time, Kody was courting Robyn Brown, his fourth and favorite wife. Christine was nine months pregnant and went into labor while he was hours away sneaking kisses with Robyn. Kody arrived late to the hospital and almost missed the birth. Truely was special to Christine as she was her rainbow baby. She once shared, “I had a miscarriage over a year ago. And I’m not sure my body is OK. I’m not sure my body is going to work like it should. I hemorrhaged, and I passed out. And it was really horrible.” 

Christine Brown is putting up a fight

Christine is also requesting a domestic relations injunction. This was a big step for Christine as in the state of Utah, the injunction stops both parties from harassment, domestic violence, canceling or modifying services. But more importantly, the request also stops either parent from taking Truely for any nonroutine travel without a court order. On top of that, the injunction demands that Kody and Christine stop any disparaging of the other party. In the last few seasons, Truely has been shown traveling back and forth between Utah and Arizona. The teenager currently resides in Utah with her mom, but Kody mentioned that he didn’t want his daughter to live so far away. The move was a no-brainer for Christine as her youngest daughter would be around her older siblings and more family. 

Christine also hinted that Kody was absent in their daughter’s life. The Sister Wives star has shared that Kody often wanted his former wife to accommodate his lifestyle. Fans watched as Kody became paranoid during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was then the fractures in the family started to become an issue. 

Kody Brown and Christine Brown’s court case is heating up

On December 1, Kody and Christine went to court to attend a hearing. According to the court documents, both Kody and Chirstine’s lawyers met via a web conference to discuss the status of their case. Both sides have now completed and submitted their disclosure, and the TLC stars have been ordered to attend meditation, which is now set for May 21, 2025. According to the legal documents, the Utah court classified the case as Track 1, which is standard, and Track 3. However, to be classified as Track 3 in the state means that the case is a “significant custody dispute.”

The documents read, “This category includes cases with 15 significant custody disputes, including custody disputes involving allegations of 16 child abuse or domestic violence. For a Track 3 case, at the case management, 17 conferences, the court and parties will address: 1) whether a custody evaluation is 18 necessary, and, if so, the form of the evaluation and appointment considerations; 19 and 2) whether the appointment of a private guardian ad litem is necessary.” Needless to say, I imagine that Kody will have a lot to say about Christine if TLC decides to film a more up-to-date season.

Sai De Silva Is in Her Fan Favorite Era; Here’s How She Did It

Sai De Silva went from being one of the most disliked women on Real Housewives of New York to a fan favorite overnight. I’m not exactly sure how she managed this. But I have to assume she got a little help from a fairy godmother who had the newest magical wand in her hand. 

Sai De Silva is working on herself

Sai is in therapy, and it’s not about perfection. It’s about trying. And the girl is trying. During Season 14, she was a hothead who was triggered by anything and everything, especially if she was hangry. It was hard to get a word edge-wise when it came to having a discussion with the mother of two. In the Season 15 premiere, she shared with viewers that she was trying to understand why she was so easily upset by the women. Thankfully, she has started to learn to control more of her emotions and is now on a “zen journey.” 

Sai has become more relatable as she has opened up about her journey of resilience that has defined her life. Sai embraced what being an honest New Yorker was. But not everyone who watched the Real Housewives of New York enjoyed her blunt energy. Sai was tough on her friendships. However, she realized it was her love language because she was all about a fight-or-flight mentality. Sai is now learning to control her honesty. Instead of coming across as brash, it is working for her character in the series.  

Sai De Silva has genuine friendships with her costars

What is so great about the Real Housewives of New York cast, whether it was the OGs or the newbies, was they all had genuine connections. It wasn’t a bunch of women who tested well on camera and were thrown together. Sai is a perfect representation of what it means to be an East Coast friend. A great example of Sai being a good friend is the moment she yelled “Pineapple” at Ubah Hassan in an attempt to tell her friend enough was enough.

This represented a moment of pure trust and respect between the two. Even though Sai has had her issues with Brynn Whitfield (who hasn’t), she is trying to show up for the dog mom during her motherhood journey. As a Jersey girl myself, I know that East Coast love is a real thing. Friends on the East Coast often yell to show their deep, caring emotions. Sai often yells at Erin Lichy as she tries to show her how she can be better in the friend group. It isn’t a mean girl trait. It is pure love. New Yorkers are passionate, whether it be a true friendship or arguing over where to get the best slice of pizza. Fans have now embraced Sai and know there shouldn’t be any hard feelings. 

Sai De Silva opened up about her mom

Sai has been extremely open about being raised by a mother who was an alcoholic. During an episode, Sai shared, “My mom loved me, and that’s one thing I would never take away from her,” she began. “My mother was an alcoholic for a long period. Growing up and watching her morph into someone that I don’t even know. It was very hard for me.” Even though Sai was honest about her upbringing, she still talked about her mother with reverence, noting she tried to do everything to take care of her.

The RHONY star added “She would wake up and drink and she would drink all day and she’s just became this person who was no longer my mother. She wasn’t the person that I grew up with. She was just someone who was completely different.” Getting to see such a vulnerable side resonated with viewers who have had their own fair share of trauma. In that moment Sai was more understood by fans. Personally, I am here for Sai and her ways. So keep being you, Sai! 

The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock.

Kourtney Kardashian brought her bold fashion game to her family’s Christmas Eve party. The reality star shared pictures from the occasion on Instagram, where she wore an all-black fit while posing with her family members. However, what’s interesting is that she upgraded the popular sheer trend by giving her floor-length dress a boho twist. The oldest Kardashian sister also twinned with her husband, Travis Barker, who wore a black long overcoat and matching pants.

A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian Barker (@kourtneykardash)

Kourtney Kardashian proved that you can never go wrong with an all-black ensemble, be it any occasion. She joined her family members for Christmas Eve and year-end celebrations at her sister Kendall Jenner’s house. Sharing the pictures from their intimate gathering, her black fit stood apart from the rest of the family because of its eye-catching elements and a Bohemian twist. 

For the Christmas Eve party, Kardashian wore a sheer black floor-length dress, which she layered over a matching bra and high-waisted shorts. The dress’ sheer panels around the torso and the legs highlighted the star’s fit physique. The Lemme founder elevated her outfit with a black headscarf and a belt around her waist. In one of the pictures, she was seen wearing a string of chunky bracelets on one hand over the sleeves. 

Kardashian even documented several memories in the picture carousel. She shared an adorable family picture, capturing her and Travis Barker’s blended family. These included their children — Mason Disick, Reign Disick, Penelope Disick, Landon Barker, Atiana De La Hoya, who is Barker’s step-daughter from his previous marriage, and the couple’s 13-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen Barker. Another adorable photo saw the Blink-182 drummer holding Rocky as they looked at Christmas decorations.

Kourtney Kardashian also posed with sisters Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. While the SKIMS founder wore a snakeskin dress, Jenner opted for a mesmerizing all-white gown. The photos also captured their mother, Kris Jenner, and her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, Cici Bussey, and more family members.

Rihanna’s latest all-black ensemble, which included a sleek leather coat, is a lesson in championing the cool-girl aesthetic. The Barbadian singer recently pulled up at a bar in New York City in yet another head-turning outfit. Rihanna, who was joined by her longtime partner A$AP Rocky, stepped out for the night to celebrate New Year’s Eve with their friends.

Rihanna was recently spotted in an edgy black leather coat during an outing at a bar in New York City. The singer brought attention with her entirely black ensemble as she layered the oversized zip-up piece above a tiny slip underneath. Rihanna continued to elevate the look with a baggy pair of stunning thigh-high boots. The “Diamonds” hitmaker accessorized for the outing with layers of chunky necklaces, which were hidden beneath the oversized coat. She also wore stud earrings and a huge ring. 

To amp up her all-black attire, Rihanna rocked tinted sunglasses and a leather bucket bag. The singer’s gorgeous curly hair was pulled back in a high fountain ponytail. On the other hand, Rihanna’s longtime partner, A$AP Rocky, opted for a gray buttoned jacket. According to Backgrid, the rapper wore the piece above a white shirt and paired the look with olive-green pants. Rocky also sported a black hat and leather gloves. 

However, this is not the first instance of Rihanna showcasing her love for oversized attires during her outings. A few days ago, she rocked a Tupac shirt and wore it with classic denim jeans when she hit an NYC Target store on New Year’s Eve to do some last-minute shopping. The musician topped the look with an oversized leather jacket that featured baggy sleeves. She further added a huge faux fur hat to transform her casual ensemble into a glamorous one.
