Kody Brown decided to do what many viewers never thought would happen. He apologized.
In a new episode of Sister Wives airing December 15, Kody meets Christine Brown Woolley during his apology tour. The moment catches her off guard. The words land differently than expected.
“For how we broke up, for how it all went down, I want to apologize for being angry about it,” Kody says. “I want to apologize for the struggles.”
After 25 years of marriage and a bitter split in 2021, the tone feels unfamiliar. Softer. Almost reflective.
Christine admits she did not see this coming.
“That’s not necessarily what I expected,” she says in a confessional. Still, she agrees to engage. “Let’s just do it then. I’m all for this.”
Christine Keeps It Calm While Kody Pushes the Moment
The meeting takes place at a restaurant in Nevada. Christine does not come alone. Her husband, David Woolley, sits beside her.
Kody tries to frame the apology as a path to healing. He talks about acknowledging the good times. He says an apology could help her move forward.
Christine shuts down the idea gently but firmly.
“It’s in the past, and it’s okay,” she tells him.
Kody does not let it go.
“An apology doesn’t hurt,” he insists.
Christine responds without hesitation. “Apologies are nice, but I’m saying, it’s okay.”
The exchange feels polite but loaded. Years of resentment sit just below the surface.
Kody Turns to David and Crosses an Emotional Line
Then Kody does something unexpected. He brings David into it.
“If I wouldn’t have messed it up, then you wouldn’t have what you have,” Kody tells Christine.
He looks at David and adds, “Later, you might want to punch me. Right now, you probably still really appreciate it.”
The comment could have exploded the situation. It does not.
David stays calm. Collected. Almost empathetic.
“When I talk to Christine about you, I see it from a guy’s point of view,” David says. “I get where you’re coming from in a lot of ways.”
Kody thanks him. The tension softens, but the moment still feels surreal.
Why Christine Brought David and What It Says About Her Growth
Christine admits she almost said no to the meeting.
“I don’t trust anything that comes out of his mouth,” she previously said.
She agreed only under one condition. David would be there.
“If Kody started to be mean or aggressive, David would not allow that,” Christine explains. “And I wouldn’t either.”
That line says everything. Christine is no longer alone in these conversations. She is protected. Confident. Done absorbing emotional damage for the sake of peace.
What This Apology Really Means for Sister Wives
Kody already apologized to Janelle. Christine was the second stop. Meri is next.
This tour feels less like closure and more like accountability arriving very late.
The conversation with Christine does not fix the past. It does not rewrite history. But it shows a shift. Not redemption. Awareness.
And Christine’s calm response may be the most powerful moment of all.
