Watch: Sister Wives' Janelle Brown Says Daughter Madison Brush Hasn't Spoken to Dad Kody Brown in YearsAn olive branch is being extended in Kody Brown's family tree. Madison Brush-one of the Sister Wives star's six kids with ex Janelle Brown-expressed possibility in ending her yearslong estrangement with her dad, who broke up with her mom in 2022 after nearly 30 years together. And she emphasized what it would take to make amends. "I am open to reconciliation and forgiveness and closure," the 30-year-old shared on the Nov. 30 of the TLC series. "But if he ever wanted to be let back into our lives, there would need to be a pattern of consistency." And Janelle agreed, saying in a confessional, "It would be a lot for Kody to make amends." Still, the 56-year-old believes "families can be apart but still have cohesion," noting how the dad of 18 had been cordial in the past months, and recently had expressed interest in reconnecting. "He's like, 'I want to come out to Raleigh and go to dinner with you,'" Janelle told Madison, a mom to four young children with husband Caleb Brush. "I suspect it has something to do with the family and the kids."readSister Wives' Janelle Brown Says Daughter Madison Brush Hasn't Spoken to Dad Kody Brown in YearsShe also noted that Kody called "to check on me" on the first anniversary of their son Garrison Brown's death in March, as well as what would've been his 27th birthday in April. "It was fine," she said of their conversation, adding, "I guess I could go to dinner with him." But Madison isn't rushing to mend fences with Kody, who is now only married to Robyn Brown after breakups with other wives Christine Brown and Meri Brown in recent years. As she previously noted, it took professional therapy just to come to terms with their complicated relationship.

I see a professional therapist on and off. I have benefited a lot from this. I think anyone [who] comes from complex family dynamics could benefit from it." New episodes of Sister Wives air every Sunday on TLC. For a complete guide to the Brown family tree, read on.
