SISTER Wives star Janelle Brown is renting a new property for $2,000 a month to launch her retail business amid rumors she has split from Kody.
Janelle, 52, remains married to husband Kody, 53, after sister wives Christine, 49, left the family and Meri, 51, no longer has a romantic relationship with the patriarch.
As fans have speculated Janelle is gearing up to leave Kody, The Celeb Report can exclusively reveal she is becoming financially independent by launching her own business.
According to the Arizona Secretary of State, Janelle launched NTYK, LLC, a “retail trade” business in September 2021.
The office for the business is located in a commercial real estate building in Flagstaff, where the family resides.
Suites located in the building go for $2,000 a month.
The suites feature a walk-in reception area, conference room, kitchenette, private office, cubicles and bathroom.
Janelle also promotes multi-level marketing nutrition company Plexus, is a health coach for her company Strive with Janelle and charges $35 on Cameo.
LIVING ALONE
This comes after The Celeb Report previously reported Janelle has no plans to return to living under one roof with her husband.
Janelle borrowed money from US Bank National on December 29, 2021 for a 2021 Milestone RV, according to public records.
The expiration date for the loan is December 29, 2026.
Janelle lived in the RV on the family’s vacant land Coyote Pass over the summer.
Janelle wrote on Instagram of her new venture in June: “So I have something fun to share. I acted boldly and seized an adventure. The rental where I was living was sold and I chose an alternative path to trying to find another rental. Not only is the housing market in Flagstaff as crazy as where you are I’m sure, rentals are even harder to come by. Presenting my new summer adventure – the RV life but camped on our property.
“Lots to do out here on the land so I figured why not be onsite. Honestly I’m alternating between extreme excitement as I’ve always wanted to try this and anxiety at all the unknown variables. So stay tuned, this is about to get real!”
Janelle lived in the trailer on the property until November, as she wrote on Instagram at the time: “So long trailer ! See you next spring. Trailer is headed down to storage for the winter. We decided to find short term housing in town instead of riding out the winter. Next year I should be able to plug into infrastructure (i.e. electric, sewer, water). I loved, loved loved living out on the land and look forward to next spring.”
Janelle had taken out a permit to be able to live in the RV on the family’s property.
In 2018, the family purchased four parcels of land in Flagstaff, Arizona to build homes on for $820,000 called Coyote Pass.
On the most recent season of Sister Wives, the family planned to split the land into five parcels for Kody to have his own home.
The Celeb Report can confirm the family has not begun the building process on the property.
RELATIONSHIP DRAMA
Kody and Janelle have struggled with marital issues.
On the Sister Wives Tell All special, the host asked Janelle: “Do you still believe in polygamy?”
She responded: “Yes I do. I’m here. I mean there was a point during Covid where I was like ‘okay do I still wanna do this?’
“And there was a period of time where Kody was away for about six weeks, and I thought ‘Wow life is really easy.’
“And I really kind of had to do some soul searching and realize that I want to be here still. I’m here.”
She also admitted that she strongly considered leaving her husband when Christine decided to split from him.
Fans have even speculated Janelle left Kody, as she remains close to Christine and often visits her.
The are currently in Florida together on vacation with their children.
FAMILY BREAKDOWN
Kody and Robyn, who has been dubbed his favorite wife and who he primarily lives with, own a $890,000 home.
Meri and Janelle are currently renting, while Christine sold her house and moved to Utah.
The pandemic caused a strain on the Brown family, as the father of 18 primary lived with Robyn and their five children because they followed his strict Covid rules, as he saw his other wives and children less frequently.
In November, Christine finally revealed she was leaving her husband after over 25 years together.
While Meri remains with the family in Arizona, Kody has made it clear the two are “just friends.”
