"I think with my mom and dad getting a divorce, if I'm honest, I did see it coming, but of course I'm sad about it. Sometimes it just doesn't work out and I'm happy my mom will be able to find somebody who she's really, really, really happy with."
Mykelti who is married to Tony, and isn't polyamorous, said:
"I was honestly relieved when I heard my mom was leaving my dad. They're not happy. They're not in love."
Even Tony shared that he always thought the split was "inevitable." He added that he couldn't imagine any man being perfect enough to be able to handle four wives.
Sister Wives star Janelle shared that her kids were aware of the split and were already planning on visiting Christine in Utah. She said:
