It’s about to be on between Christine Brown and Kody Brown.
As loyal Sister Wives fans, even just general celebrity gossip followers know at this point, this couple is no longer together.
Following well over two decades as spiritual spouses, Christine announced in early November that she was moving on from Kody — and moving back to her native state of Utah.
The mother of six has since talked at great length about the basis behind this romantic decision.
Viewers are about to actually see it for themselves, however.
TLC has released a sneak peek at the Sister Wives Season 17 premiere, which airs on Sunday, September 11 and which will feature a revealing conversation between Christine and Kody.
In the footage, the stars debate the most intimate aspect of their relationship, with Christine claiming that Kody took sex off the table between them back in the day.
“You said that you were not attracted to me,” she tells her irritated husband.
Kody disagrees with this assessment, however.
He claims that, when asked if he’d ever sleep with Christine again, he simply shrugged his shoulders and told his exasperated spouse, “we’ll see.”
If you’ll recall… toward the end of Sister Wives Season 16… Christine reiterated this same point, saying on air that Kody took away her intercourse privileges.
“He goes, ‘I’m not interested in having an intimate marriage anymore. I don’t like your behavior. We’ll see if you can be a good sister wife,’ and all this,” Christine said at the time.
Is this really how things played out?
On a Season 17 confessional depicted in the just-released sneak peek, Kody explains why he at least wasn’t keen on getting back into bed with Christine.
“She’s been telling everybody she wants to leave and she’s never told me. She never talked to me about it,” he said.
“So, when she says that she asks me if we’re ever going to be intimate, I’m hearing rumors from everybody that she’s been threatening to leave…
“I shrugged my shoulders because I’m not going to be fooling around with a woman who’s talking about leaving me.”
Christine has since left Kody.
“It was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life,” she says on the Season 17 opener, adding:
“I don’t want to be married to a guy who just shrugs his shoulders when I’m asking him if we’re going to have an intimate marriage … bulls–t that.”
Speaking to People Magazine this month about her decision, Christine made it VERY clear she has no regrets.
“I get to live life for me,” she says in the latest issue, telling this publication that she could not be more thrilled with the choice she made last year.
“My whole world has changed, and every single cell in my body is happier.”
It doesn’t get much more straightforward than that, does it?
“I remember feeling hope for the first time in a long time because I just got to take my life by my own and go,” Brown added of her return to Utah.
“It was wonderful.”
