Tony and Mykelti Brown have moved into their new home in North Carolina. But fans are already asking questions about the move, the money, and Tony’s surprising “chess career.””
“We made it,” Tony said as the couple filmed their first moments in the new house. Mykelti added, “Yeah, safely here, safe and sound.”
The Sister Wives couple revealed that the move wasn’t easy. “It was rough though. It was really rough,” Tony admitted. Mykelti said they got in late and didn’t even stay the first night. “We just dropped the U-Haul off, loaded the kids, and took off for a hotel,” she said.
While the pair seemed thrilled to start fresh, some fans weren’t convinced. One user wrote, “OK it’s definitely none of my business but how exactly are they affording this house?” Another joked, “A chess career? 😂😂😂”
Sister Wives: Inside Their Cozy New Family Home
Christine Brown, who helped the couple with the move, praised the house. “Their old place in Lehi wasn’t great for their family,” she said. “It was split-level and uncomfortable. This one is older but very comfortable. It’s on a cul-de-sac, and the backyard is a forest. It’s magical.”
Tony proudly added, “If you see our backyard, it’s just woods. It’s amazing. Yeah, we’re really excited.”
Mykelti chimed in with relief. “I’m actually really excited about figuring it out here,” she said. “We’re going to spend the next couple of days unpacking, unloading, getting settled. And then we go back to work, back to life.”
But even as they unpacked, fans focused on the details. “The house is beautiful,” one user commented, “but an outback privacy fence would be nice.” Another added, “With kids, I would absolutely invest in a fence, it’s a forest, and kids can get lost so fast.”
Sister Wives: Christine and Janelle’s Support Wins Fans Over
Christine and Janelle Brown’s presence during the move melted fans’ hearts. “Love how Janelle and Christine are still so close and their kids have that family support!” one fan wrote.
Janelle shared her excitement about having the grandkids nearby. “The drive from Maddie’s to Mykelti’s is about four hours. I hope it means we’ll be able to get together more often,” she said. “It’s exciting that we’ll have all the grandbabies in this state.”
Still, Christine made one thing clear: she’s not moving. “I just don’t feel the call to North Carolina,” she said. “David and I have a home. I’m not following my children.”
Fans instantly reacted. One commented, “Christine love Utah baby, she ain’t going anywhere, she didn’t wanna move in the first place lol.”
Sister Wives: Tony’s Chess Career Raises Eyebrows
Christine explained that the move was largely to support Tony’s chess ambitions. “North Carolina, Charlotte specifically, is a chess hub,” she said. “Tony can move here and become an instructor. He’s very good.”
But online reactions weren’t as impressed. “A chess career? 😂😂😂” one fan wrote, echoing a sentiment that spread quickly across the comment section.
Others seemed more curious than critical. “Wait, what show is this?” one asked, hinting that even casual viewers are tuning back in just to see how Tony’s career move plays out.
Sister Wives: Fans Love the Home But Doubt the Plan
While many viewers agreed that the home is “beautiful,” several pointed out that life in the woods with kids might be tricky. One comment read, “That house is really pretty from the outside, but I’d invest in a fence, wild animals, kids, a forest? That’s a no.”
Others just laughed about the logistics. “Four hours? That’s a trip, honey, especially with kids,” joked another fan.
