How is this for some rich irony:
Over the course of the last several Sister Wives episodes, Kody Brown and his spouses have been arguing about whether they'll one day live under the same large roof in a new Arizona mansion.
And, hey, maybe they will.
Right now, however? In the wake of the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak and resulting shelter-at-home orders across the country?
Kody and his spouses can't even see each other, let alone live together.
So, what are the reality stars up to these days? How are they spending their time during this historic and frightening outbreak?
Courtesy of the cast talking to Us Weekly, we actually have some answers. Scroll down to read them...
1. A New Normal
“Normal life has ceased for me, my wives and our family. We’re all working from home, however, some of us are not able to do necessary travel for work, and some of our entire industries are shut down,” Kody tells the magazine.
2. It's Better for Some Than Others
Continued Kody along these lines: “Two of my wives run an online business so they are still working remotely but they aren’t able to do some of the in-person tasks they normally do. Overall there have been some setbacks and some things have slowed down significantly.”
3. Is Kody in Contact with His Wives?
Yup. “We’re still in contact and talking a lot, but because nothing is going on in our lives, life has gotten a bit boring. There’s not much to discuss other than checking in on the kids, who are doing school from home,” the father of 18 (!!!!) says.
4. No News, For Now, Is Good News... Right?
“There’s no new news within our family but obviously we’re keeping updated about the news of the world," he continued. "Instead of talking about the weather we’re talking about coronavirus. The discussions have shifted to obsession! We’ve been asking each other, ‘Do you have any friends or know anybody who has it?’ Other than that, there’s not much else to talk about.”
5. How Have Lives Changed?
"We’ve severed family gatherings completely," says Kody. "I’ve been contacting family by phone. Me and my wives have done a couple of conference calls and we’ll probably do more where we update each other on everything going on within our family."
6. Christine? What Have You Been Up To?
"We’ve been doing embroidery, cross-stitching and crocheting," Christine told Us Weekly. "I’m teaching the girls how to do more handiwork."
