You know we love to talk about the royals around here, but here’s a bloodline that you might not be familiar with.
It’s been many years since Kody Brown split from his 3rd wife, Christine Brown. Still, they both continue to appear on their hit show, Sister Wives.
Sometimes together, most of the time separately.
During a recent episode of the 19th season, Kody reflected on his three failed marriages. When he got to talk about Christine, he made a comment about her family being “polygamy royalty.”
Here enter the history lesson. Prepare yourselves for a doozy!

Christine’s Family & The Long History Of Polygamy
When Christine finally left Kody after 27 years of spiritual marriage, fans of the long running TLC show were thrilled.
However, before she locked down David Wooley, there was equal levels of concern that she would jump right back into another plural marriage.
Why? Well, not only was polygamist marriage all that Christine’s known, but it’s in her blood.
Christine’s grandfather on her father’s side, Rulon C. Allred, was the founder of the prominent polygamist group Apostolic United Brethren. Additionally, Christine’s great uncle on her mother’s side ran a notorious polygamist commune that rivaled her grandfather’s.
And on top of all that, her parents were also in a polygamist marriage, so she grew up in that environment.
Her “Pedigree”
These days, Kody continually laments on the show that he was forced into marrying his three wives before Robyn.
But watching the show back tells a very different story. In terms of Christine, Kody once told her to her face that he was attracted to her “pedigree.”
He insisted that the fact that she was a “blue-blood polygamist” made her an attractive choice for his next spouse.
“Her family lines in polygamy go really, really deep,” Kody explained. “He married me for the title,” Christine joked.
These days, Kody insists that there was a lot of “pressure” to marry Christine because of her status. She, on the other hand, said she “never cared” about her supposed title

How It All Ended
By now, fans have watched on as Kody has ended his marriage with all three of his first wives. Christine was the first to go, and the explosive confrontation was caught on camera for all to see in the Sister Wives Season 17 premiere.
Christine did not mince a single word as she faces her ex – and she didn’t beat around the bush either!
“We’ve been married for 25 years. I’ve known you for almost 30 years. Don’t insult me, tell me straight up,” the mother of six said in a confessional.
“If you don’t want to be married to me anymore, you don’t want to have an intimate marriage with me anymore, flipping tell me.”
Christine is referring here to Kody — out of spite and pettiness over rumors he had been hearing about Christine —– having basically taken sex off the table between the pair many months ago.
