All Christine Brown wanted to do was shine bright.
In the Sister Wives star’s new memoir, Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom, she reflected on a rocky moment in her marriage to Kody Brown. According to Christine, her ex once denied her request to have a diamond put into her Claddagh engagement ring due to financial concerns, but then added one to his fourth and current wife Robyn Brown’s ring without her asking.
“I blinked back angry, shocked, heartbroken tears,” Christine wrote. “I had justified things to myself—the convertible, for example—but this was so specifically close to what I had asked for that it felt as if my heart had been pierced.”
E! has reached out to Kody’s rep for comment and has not heard back.
Christine—who split from Kody in 2021 and is now married to David Woolley—said that when she confronted Kody about it, he became irate, and shifted the blame to her, saying, “You’re comparing again,” before adding, “I will treat you like you are lovable when you make an effort to be lovable.”
