In the season 20 premiere of Sister Wives, which aired on September 28, 2025, Madison Brown, the daughter of Janelle Brown, opened up about her strained relationship with the family's patriarch. Nearly a year after confirming she had cut off contact with her father, Madison became emotional as she discussed her desire for reconciliation.
"I might have to step out," Madison tearfully confessed in a confessional segment alongside her husband, Caleb Brush. "You want your dad to show up. You want reconciliation. I know I played a part and I'm angry because I'm still trying to learn to not be disappointed."
Madison's estrangement from her father occurred two years after Janelle and Kody Brown, who is currently married to Robyn Brown and was previously married to Meri Brown and Christine Brown, separated in 2022. Despite her longing for her father's presence, Madison acknowledged her own role in the fractured relationship, expressing a mix of emotions as she continues to navigate the family's dynamics.
