Maddie Brown on Two-Week-Old Son: Stop Growing Up So Fast!

Maddie Brown gave birth to her first child just over two weeks ago now, and she now realizes just how quickly they grow up.  Maddie and husband, Caleb Brush named their little bundle of joy Axel James , and appear to be happier than ever as they take some of the cutest pictures on Instagram.  It’s certainly refreshing to have some news from the Sister Wives family that does not lean heavily on Robyn apparently leaving Kody.  Would Sister Wives ever be the same if she were to just up and leave? We think not.  Anyway, back to the cute pictures of Axel James Brush.  The above picture showed off Axel’s smile, but Maddie seemed conflicted about her son growing up quickly in the caption.  “This little stud is two weeks old today. I’m torn between wanting to watch him grow and wanting him to stay small forever. #AxelJames #BabyBoy #motherhood #Twoweeks.” Now, all parents worry about their children growing up too fast, but babies have a knack for becoming toddlers very quickly, so we can see where Maddie is coming from.  Maddie unveiled another picture of her son laughing with his eyes closed.  She was quick to point out that she did not want to be that mom who posts lots of pictures of her child. “I am that mom I swore I wouldn’t be, posting tons of pictures of this handsome boy. How could I not though!? #AxelJames #motherhood #BabyBoy.” Something tells us she’s going to be sharing a whole lot more pictures of her son in the future. It’s natural for a parent to want to show their little cherub off to the world.  Maddie and Caleb married in 2016 in a Bohemian inspired wedding.  Unlike Maddie’s parents, she will be living a monogamous lifestyle with Caleb.  Viewers of Sister Wives are anxiously awaiting news of a return date for the popular TLC reality series.

Kody Brown: Is He Abusing the Sister Wives?!

It seems like at least once a month or so, we hear a new rumor about the Sister Wives. Specifically about how the Sister Wives are planning on leaving Kody Brown. It makes sense — Kody does seem pretty unbearable , and even if he was the greatest dude of all time, sharing your husband with three other women doesn’t sound like a great time. Last we heard, Robyn, Kody’s most recent sister wife, and the only one he’s legally married to, is considering leaving him . The issue is that Kody is allegedly preparing to take on a fifth wife who is just 24 years old. Robyn’s not that into the idea, so if he follows through, she’s out. Kody had apparently been struggling with Robyn’s possible departure, so he reportedly began drinking to get through the fights and the panic attacks. We’d be all “aww, poor guy,” but, you know, it’s Kody. If he has such a hard time understanding the problems in his marriages, then there’s really no helping him, is there? But it seems like understanding isn’t Kody’s only issue — not by a long shot. According to an actual family friend of the Browns, Kody’s been “totally spiraling out of control” lately. The friend says that Kody is “becoming a hothead, he has no filter and it is freaking Robyn out.” Things are so bad that “she can no longer trust him.” They used to “fight and yell at each other,” but “now Robyn simply ignores him, which makes him even more infuriated.” “Kody has a nasty tongue on him,” the friend continues. “Robyn told me how Kody said to her, ‘you would not have any of this if it wasn’t for me.'” “Kody has to be the king of the castle. Robyn used to be Kody’s puppet. Now she’s saying no.” So it sounds like a miserable situation is getting even worse thanks to Kody’s increasingly bad temper, right? No wonder there are constant reports of his wives leaving him . And the Browns’ family friend has some words to say on that subject, too. “Robyn’s always said that if he takes on new wives, she’ll leave,” she says. “Robyn has told friends she is going to divorce Kody.” “She believes it is her only choice. She says he will be getting a rude awakening soon when he’s served with the papers.” While it would be wonderful if Robyn left Kody — and if Meri, Janelle, and Christine left him, too — we’ll believe it when we see it. But dang, this story is getting juicy, huh?

Sister Wives Stars March to Legalize Polygamy: We’re Family, Not Felons!

Sister Wives is a quality reality show, full of relationship drama, family drama … just all the drama, really. And the vast, vast majority of that is because of the family's beliefs: namely the belief that polygamy is the way to be. Kody Brown has four wives — Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn — and he has children with each of those wives. He's legally married to Robyn , but he calls the other three his “spiritual wives.” And in Utah, where the family is originally from, that's against the law. That's why all those crazy Browns packed up and moved to Las Vegas a few years ago. If they didn't, they risked being arrested, simply because of the way they choose to live. But this weekend, they went back to Utah. And they went for a fight. See, bigamy has always been illegal, but there's a bill in Utah that makes it illegal not only to have multiple legal wives , but to have multiple spiritual wives. On one hand, it makes sense. Many women and children have been abused and mistreated in polygamist families. But on the other hand, there are families like the Browns. They may be strange, but they're all consenting adults who've made a choice to live a certain way, and should that really be a felony. A local news station in Utah caught Kody at the march, and he was able to outline his issue with the bill. Check out Kody do his thing in the video below:

Sister Wives Season 11 Episode 8 Recap: Question Time

Following Mariah Brown’s announcement about her sexuality, her family continued to show off just how much they supported her on Sister Wives Season 7 Episode 8 .  The whole family was hanging out at Christine’s house and Christine had this idea that they could all ask questions about each other to see just how well they knew one another.  Watch Sister Wives Season 11 Episode 8 Online Now, you would think that a family as big as the Browns would no one another very well, but apparently not. Her twist on it was that it would be to find out how well the each couple knew one another.  The younger couples seemed against it, but they knew there was no way in a million years that they could have gotten out of playing it.  The kids then dropped the bomb that Kody and his four wives should play. That made sense because it would increase the drama. Would Meri be able to make it through the game without sulking? Apyn and Mariah asked the wives about their first kiss with Kody, but Janelle was apparently the only one who had no idea when her first kiss with Kody was.  Kody then chimed in revealing that it was inside the car. Very romantic. Right? When the family was asked who would be married next, Toni seemed to think that Kody was going to find a fith wife to add to the family, while Mykelti seemed to think it would be her brother getting married next.  Kody was also asked about which one of his wives was the worst driver. To the surprise of no one, he kept neutral and said they were all pretty terrible drivers.  Could you imagine how Meri would have reacted if he said it was her? Something tells us she’s about ready to run off from the family.  Her emotions just always seem to be running high and she’s worried that no one seems to keep her in the loop about things.  Kody later revealed that that he had realized that the whole catfishing scandal had helped him understand that he needed to work on his marriage to Meri.  He did not want it to come to an end because he was not checking everything was okay with her. Before the scandal, he said that he and Meri were always arguing and they could never really understand why.  Kody has been paying more attention to what his wives need from him in order to keep harmony between all of them, but Meri was still kind of sulking. Seriously, why are we watching her sulk all the time? She was playing a fun game with her family and was still complaining. It’s sad, but us viewers are totally over hearing about the catfishing.  It’s been hanging over the show like a dark cloud for far too long now and we need to move on from it. What big scandal will replace it? What did you think about all of the drama?  Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: 18 Reality TV Show Families That Make Us Want to Vomit

Sister Wives Season 11 Episode 8 Recap: Question Time

Sasha Obama: Why Did She Miss Her Dad’s Speech?!?

Barack Obama paid moving tribute to his family last night. Addressing the country for one final time as President of the United States, Obama detailed his many accomplishments over the years, emphasized the need for citizens to be actively involved in their democracy… … and then caused us all to reach for our tissues. “Michelle – Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, girl of the Southside, for the past 25 years, you’ve been not only my wife and mother of my children, but my best friend,” the President said, staring at his wife in the front row of Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center. Eventually unable to hold back his own tears, Obama continued: “You took on a role you didn’t ask for and made it your own with grace and grit and style and good humor. You made the White House a place that belongs to everybody. And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model.   “You’ve made me proud.  You’ve made the country proud.” Obama went on to refer to Vice President Joe Biden as a “brother,” thanking the long-time politician for his friendship and his guidance over the years. The Commander-in-Chief also, of course, talked at length about his daughters, Sasha and Malia. “Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women, smart and beautiful,” he said. “But more importantly, kind and thoughtful and full of passion. You wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily.” He then made sure there truly wasn’t a dry eye in the convention center by concluding: “Of all that I’ve done in my life, I’m most proud to be your dad.” You can watch Obama break down while talking to his amazing wife and family in the following clip: Barack Obama Farewell Address: Why Did the President Break Down? Cameras often caught Malia growing emotional over her father’s stirring words of love and appreciation, but the cameras never caught hold of Sasha. And that’s because Sasha wasn’t there! What possible excuse did she have for missing her dad’s farewell address? Is she in rehab, like some have actually believed Malia to be over the past few weeks? No. It was simply a school night and Sasha was at home, studying for a test, according to White House officials. This means one of two things: Either the Obamas really are so serious about education that they could not even give their 16-year old daughter a night off in order to attend a literal once-in-a-lifetime event… … or Sasha’s teacher is a total A-Hole. Either way, we assume Sasha at least watched her father on television. And we’d have to believe she was incredibly flattered and proud as she did. After all, whatever you think of Barack Obama’s policies or beliefs, you have to give the man props as a husband and a father. He’s treated the office of the President with dignity and respect for eight years. And now he’s moving aside for someone who may or may not have a thing for prostitute-laden golden showers . Let’s just say ahead of time that we won’t blame Baron Trump if he skips out on his dad’s next speech.

Maddie Brown and Caleb Brush: We’re Having A…

Finally. The Browns can celebrate some exciting news. As has been well documented over the past several weeks, all is not exactly calm and cool between loved ones on Sister Wives. There has been talk that Kody Brown is either splitting from wife Robyn or wife Meri or even that all four Sister Wives are ready to just up and leave the father of their children. Ugly rumors have been running rampant, but Maddie Brown and Caleb Brush are here with a bit of exciting news for those who follow this TLC series: They’re having a baby! Sorry, you probably knew that already. Let’s try this again: they’re having a baby BOY! The couple learned the sex of their impending child during a gender reveal party on Monday and then shared the answer with Us Weekly. “We are both super excited for our little boy,” Maddie and Caleb have told the tabloid. “Although we had a good hunch that it was a boy, it’s nice to finally know, so we can start preparing!” According to Us Weekly, the reality stars hosted about 30 close friends and loved ones at Christine Brown’s residence in Las Vegas this week. The attendees then played a game in which they cut out mustaches or hair bows from paper and actually donned the accessories themselves. They were also given blue and pink balloons, but only the blue ones could inflate. Maddie – the daughter of Kody and his second wife, Janelle – is 21 years old. She made her pregnancy announcement on November 21, sharing an Instagram photo at the time of her husband kissing her baby bump, writing as a caption; “So happy to announce our little addition!” The two were married in a beautiful, intimate outdoor ceremony back in June in Montana. Last month, Maddie posted an image of the expecting parents at Yellowstone National Park. “Six months being married to you has been more than a fairy tale come true. You truly are my best friend and soul mate! I look forward to the years to come!” she wrote as a caption. AWWW, right? It’s been a turbulent time for the Browns of late. As those who watch Sister Wives online know very well, Maddie’s half-sister, Mariah, stunned her family by coming out of the closet a couple episodes ago. She stood in front of her dad and other relatives and announced she is gay. And while Kody was surprised at the news initially, expressing a few reservations and asking a few questions, he did eventually come around. “A surprise to me. Required some deep thought,” Kody Tweeted of the reveal on Sunday night, adding over the course of a couple more messages: “After checking to see if she was sure, I just needed her to know she was safe… “God has prepared my heart and mind for 15 years. Now @mariahlian can feel safe being openly gay with our family.” That’s pretty impressive for a Mormon to write. We’re not judging the religion, we’re just noting that many people who practice is are not accepting of the gay lifestyle, based on how they were raised. But that’s another story. For now, let us just say…. congratulations to Maddie and Caleb!

Sister Wives’ Mariah Brown: Being Gay Was My Biggest Fear!

Hey, so how about that big shocker that happened on Sister Wives Sunday night when Mariah Brown announced that she’s gay ? She sat down her parents, Kody and Meri Brown, and the other Sister Wives, Robyn, Christine and Janelle — and the cameras, of course — and came right out of that closet. And good for her, right? The religion she grew up in, Fundamentalist Mormonism, is strongly against homosexuality in every way, shape and form. Although her parents have spoken out in support of marriage equality in the past, it still must have been hard to come out. And in a seriously heartbreaking new interview Mariah just did, she confirmed that difficult doesn’t begin to describe it. “I remember being in church, and they talked about how being gay was bad,” she says. “One bishop told me gay people were selfish.” Thankfully, she adds that “none of that came from my parents” but only “from church and the people I was around.” Poor Mariah says that things were so tough when she was younger, that “If you were to ask me my biggest fear, it would have been to be gay.” “It was something I was so scared of in myself.” “People say they try to ‘pray away the gay,’ but I wouldn’t even let myself think the word,” she reveals. “I just wouldn’t even go there.” Mariah recalls that she fought her feelings so hard and tried to repress everything that she began suffering from insomnia and anxiety. Things were like that for a long time, but then when she was a senior in college, she met a gay man while touring a college, and she had a long talk with him. “That was sort of the start of realizing this is okay,” she says. “My whole life I tried to shut it out. I was finally letting myself be real.” “I had this image I had to uphold, and when I started letting that go, I realized I didn’t have to be the person I thought I had to be.” And that was true — every single one of her parents fully support her. Sister Wives Clip: Who’s Gay? Her mother, Meri, says “I’m so proud of her for having the strength.” Her father, Kody, candidly explained that when “you come from an Old Testament religion, you are not excited that your child comes out.” “I thought about this years ago,” he says, and “I made a decision.” “My job as a dad is to love and respect and not to judge.” As for Janelle, she states that “We’re just happy she’s figured out who she is. It’s tremendous when you see a kid do that.” Christine, for her part, adds that when Mariah came out, “Everyone jumped up and hugged her and congratulated her.” “She is so radiant and just so beautiful that when she tells people I feel like most of them will be ok because she is so confident and so secure with being gay.” “It’s wonderful.” And Robyn concludes with, “No matter what our religion says, what my heart says is that she is our daughter and she is a person and she has a right to her truth.” It’s enough to warm your heart, right? We give you a good deal of grief sometimes, and in some cases it’s warranted, but way  to come through  in the end here, Sister Wives. Way to be.

Kody & Robyn Brown: It’s Over!

If you watch Sister Wives online , you know that the show’s most recent season didn’t feature many appearances from Robyn Brown. It’s somewhat understandable that she was relegated to the margins so that the show could focus on Mery Brown’s catfishing saga . To a point. Not like this … It seems Robyn, even as a woman married a man married to three other people, is no fan of playing second fiddle on TV or in her marriage. Celebrity gossip stalwart Radar Online is reporting Wednesday that Robyn has left Kody  after untold months of marital discord. If this is true, it’s a pretty insane development. A source close to the reality stars told Radar: “She is leaving the first week in January to go back to Utah with the kids and be with her family to figure out the next step in her life.” The insider adds that Robyn will spend the holidays with Kody for the sake of her kids – but then she’ll leave him far behind for the same reason: “Her kids aren’t being treated very well.” The unidentified family friend also says that Kody’s neglect of her kids is just one of many reasons that Robyn has decided to pecae out. Apparently, Kody’s concerns about the family’s legal entanglements and lack of privacy led to a suffocating sense of paranoia in the Brown home. (That’ll happen when you’re married four times AND star in a reality show about your family life, won’t it? Just a thought …) In any case, she’s leave the polygamous life behind.  “There were a lot of communication issues and a lot of fighting,” the source said, adding, “Kody is really bad at handling stressful situations.” The Kode Man “wants to be safe all the time, and when Robyn could no longer be his source of comfort. He couldn’t handle it.” Not surprisingly, it seems that playing second fiddle to another sister wife in particular also didn’t sit particularly well with Robyn: “This season is really focusing on Maddie’s wedding and on the catfish plot,” the insider said. “Robyn’s always gotten her way, now she’s totally done.” “She refuses to be placed on the back-burner.” The breakup isn’t wholly unexpected. Given the drama – legal, paternal, marital, catfish-related – that’s been consuming the Brown family for the past year, it’s almost overdue. Reports of tumult within the giant family have run rampant, and talk of Kody being dumped by 1-4 wives has been a tabloid staple.  Still, Robyn’s timing makes the move somewhat of a surprise;  Kody and Robyn welcomed a baby girl back in January. It was her third child, and Kody’s 18th! No, that’s not a misprint. He has 18. Clearly, the 46-year-old Kody is determined to personally tie another enormous TLC family, the Duggars, with 19 offspring in all.  The way he’s going, we think he’ll pull it off. Of course, now he’ll have to do it with one less wife, and one of the younger ones at that, which does shift the odds considerably. Moreover, kids 16-18 are Robyn’s from a previous relationship. Kody adopted them, but does that still count if Robyn leaves him? Still, even if you call the “true” number 15, in his polygamous world, the dude can just keep adding more spouses indefinitely. Somehow, there are always more takers.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Has a Booze-Fueled Freakout!

If the clips we've seen so far are anything to go by, this new season of Sister Wives is going to be one hell of a ride. Yesterday, we saw a clip of Kody and Meri Brown fighting over their broken relationship and that one time that Meri got catfished. Things got so bad that Kody didn't even want to continue the conversation without the assistance of their therapist. According to Kody, Meri had told him to get out of her life, and according to Meri, Kody had told her that he wasn't willing to cross a burning bridge for her. Honestly, we're not sure if that was supposed to be a metaphor or not. But Kody's communication is a whole lot clearer in this new sneak peek from the season premiere. In the clip, Kody, along with Janelle and Christine, accompanies his daughter, Maddie, on a meeting with a wedding planner. The idea of serving alcohol at the wedding comes up, though really it's more of a plan — Maddie is pretty dead set on having booze be a part of her special day. The issue, though, is that Mormons typically aren't down with drinking. And Kody wants to make sure that everyone is totally aware of that. Check out the completely bizarre footage of Kody in the video below:
