Gwendlyn Brownhas revealed who inspired her stepmotherJanelle Brown’s recently growing independence.
Earlier this month, Gwendlyn applauded Janelle — who split from ex-husbandKody Brownin 2021 after 25 years of marriage — for standing up herself.
The segment showed a conversation about Christine’s daughterYsabelreturning to college during the COVID pandemic. Ultra-careful Kody was not supportive of the decision, but Janelle stepped in.
“I love her getting confident!“Gwendlyn said of Janelle in another YouTube video. After Janelle told Kody, 54, he wouldn’t be at risk anyway — since Ysabel would be away at school — Gwendlyn added, “That’s hot of her. Janelle’s cool as hell.”

Gwendlyn — who gotengaged to her girlfriend Beatriz Queirozlast month — also suggested that Christine, 50, and Janelle for a new show showing the pairnavigating life after their relationships with Kody… with a twist.
“I think we should have a spin-off series where my mom and Janelle get together,” she said in anotherYouTube reaction video. “Tell me you don’t love that idea.Sister Wives.It should be called SisterWIVES— I’m a genius.”
But it seems Gwendlyn’s idea is a bit far-fetched given both Christine and Janelle haven’t ever implied they’re attracted to women, sans Christine’s previous interview on themost crushworthy womenin Hollywood.
