Sister Wives’ Janelle and Kody Brown Welcomed 6 Kids Together: Details Amid Garrison’s Tragic Death

A family affair. Sister Wives stars Janelle Brown and former husband Kody Brown welcomed six children together throughout their 30-year marriage. 

How Many Kids Does Kody Brown Have?

Kody has 18 children in total. He shares one child with ex-wife Meri Brown, six children with ex-wife Janelle, six children with ex-wife Christine Brown, and two children with wife Robyn Brown. He is also a stepdad to Robyn’s three children from a previous relationship.

Who Is Logan Brown?

Logan is the eldest son of Kody and Janelle, whom they welcomed in May 1994. He married longtime girlfriend Michelle Petty in October 2022 after popping the question in 2017. 

"Unfortunately nothing in my elaborate plan had successfully gone through," Logan explained to TLC of his proposal at the time. "So in desperation, I found the prettiest view of the Colorado River, Congress Bridge. We walked out to the middle of the bridge and then I popped the question!"

While he originally appeared on Sister Wives in earlier seasons, fans began noticing his absence during the long-running reality series’ 13th season, and he has since stepped away from the show, which is currently in its 17th season.

Who Is Maddie Brown?

Janelle and Kody welcomed their eldest daughter, Maddie, in November 1995. She is married to Caleb Brush and the couple share two children together: son Axel, whom they welcomed in May 2017 and daughter Evie, whom they welcomed in August 2019. 

In an adorable announcement posted to Instagram in July 2022 featuring “big brother” Axel and “big sister” Evie, Maddie revealed she and Caleb are pregnant with baby No. 3.

Maddie revealed the baby’s sex in another video posted to Instagram in September 2022. “Baby Girl Brush! Coming Feb 2023! [beating heart emojis] Ultra sounds was [sic] great! A few things too small so we will have one follow-up. No major concerns,” she wrote.

The former reality star and her hubby welcomed their third child, a baby girl named Josephine, in February 2023. “Meeting Joey (Josephine). I love the grandma life!” Janelle shared as she cradled her new grandbaby in a heartwarming photo. “Saw the baby and then headed back home to hang out with Axel and Evie. Life is good.”

Who Is Hunter Brown?

Hunter, born in February 1997, is the second oldest son of Janelle and Kody. He graduated from the Air Force Academy and attended Johns Hopkins University for his Master’s in nursing. “Very excited to start my Master’s in nursing with these ladies. Nothing more helpful than spreading love and helping others in the chaotic world we are currently living in!” he wrote in an August 2020 Instagram post.

One scroll through Hunter’s Instagram will show that he loves spending time with friends and family, is a dedicated gym-goer and doting boyfriend to his partner Audrey, a surgical ICU nurse. 

“Happy birthday to this pretty lady! So grateful for the time I’ve had with you and the time to come! Thanks for being you,” he wrote in a sweet tribute in honor of her birthday in July 2022.

Who Is Garrison Brown?

Garrison is the third son of Kody and Janelle, born in April 1998. At age 17, he enlisted in the National Guard, and in 2019, the reality TV personality opened an online boutique called Bob’s Floral, which specialized in Hawaiian shirts and tropical designs.

Just one year later, Garrison announced on Instagram that the online store was “temporarily on pause.”

“My reopening plan is BIG but needs time to be executed,” he wrote at the time. “I wish for Bob’s Floral products to be made domestically and with care and passion for those who seek an easy going lifestyle.”

Though his small business was put on hold, In Touch confirmed in January 2022 that Garrison had purchased his first home in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Two years later, Janelle and Kody announced the tragic death of Garrison at age 25.

"Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away," they shared in a joint statement on March 5, 2024. "We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."

Who Is Gabriel Brown?

Gabe is the youngest son of Janelle and Kody, whom they welcomed in October 2001. Though the reality star hasn’t been that active on social media – his last Instagram post was uploaded in April 2020 – one scroll through his old posts shows that he loves nature and has an artistic flair behind the camera. 

Gabe and brother Garrison seem to have a close bond, as seen in an August 2022 Instagram post shared by Janelle. 

“It does a mama’s heart good to know she raised boys willing to help out - even each other,” she wrote, praising her sons. “Gabe hit something in the road and Garrison came right away to help him get the tire (which of course had a stripped lug nut) off. AND it was raining like crazy. I went over to help but ended up being the cheerleader as I wasn’t really needed.”

Though the boys’ relationship with each other is clearly strong, the pair haven’t seen eye-to-eye with dad Kody over his rules about COVID-19 amid the ongoing pandemic, which was documented on Sister Wives.

Who Is Savanah Brown?

Savanah, born in December 2004, is the youngest child of Kody and Janelle. She is currently in her senior year of high school.

“My baby just drove herself (new license) to her first senior school event,” Janelle shared via her Instagram Story in August 2022. “It’s a bittersweet day. I’ll just sit here for a min and drink my coffee and contemplate how quickly the empty nest is approaching.” 

Just days before In Touch broke the news that Janelle was ending her relationship with Kody, the Plexus ambassador celebrated Savanah’s 18th birthday, penning a sweet caption alongside a video of her youngest daughter balloons and a cake. 

“Happy Birthday sweetheart ! We had a fun early birthday celebration in Vegas last weekend,” Janelle wrote. “Thank you to @_michellepetty and @logantbro for the decorations and the cake. Dinner with friends and family on the Strip and then a tour through the Enchant light display. Fun and memorable evening. You only turn 18 once right?!”

Do Janelle and Her Kids Get Along?

While a source previously told In Touch that Kody’s relationships with most of his adult children are “pretty bad,” Janelle has a great relationship with her kids, and regularly posts videos and pictures to social media while hanging out with them.

In March 2023, she reunited with sons Hunter, Garrison and Gabe amid the latter pair’s ongoing feud with their dad, sharing a quick snap from their dinner at 1899 Bar and Grill in Flagstaff. 

“Dinner with my boys and Hunter’s girl Audrey,” Janelle wrote. “Such a fun evening and a bright spot in the day. Food was delicious.”
