Christine Brown is getting hitched!
The Sister Wives star and former wife of Kody Brown revealed Thursday on social media that she and boyfriend David Woolley are engaged to be married.
“We’re engaged!” Christine shared on Instagram.
“David popped the question VERY romantically, and I said YES! I’m so excited and I live in bliss every day! #engaged #newworld #soulmates #loveofmylife”
David posted the same engagement photo to his Instagram, writing, “Everyday when I look at you I can’t believe I am the l luckiest guy in the world because I have you.
You are the most loving and caring person I have ever met.
#soulmate #myqueen #engaged”
As The Ashley previously told you, Christine and husband Kody split in 2021 after more than 25 years together and in February, she announced she was “dating someone exclusively,” who she later revealed to be David. They began dating in the fall of 2022.
As ‘Sister Wives’ fans know, Robyn Brown is Kody’s only remaining wife. Shortly after Christine jumped ship in 2021, Kody’s second wife, Janelle Brown, revealed during the Season 17 Tell-All that she and Kody had separated. Kody’s first wife, Meri Brown, also revealed that she and Kody mutually decided to “permanently terminate” whatever was left of their marriage.
Christine’s future husband, who popped the question earlier this month in Utah, is a 59-year-old widower and owner of a drywall company. He’s also the father of eight children and, like Christine, has grandkids of his own.
“David treats me like a queen and tells me I’m beautiful everyday,” Christine told People of her engagement to David. “I’ve never been in love like this before and the world seems like a brighter place with him in it.
“I’m so excited for the wonderful adventure we are going to embark on for the rest of our lives,” she added.
The news of Christine and David’s engagement comes just weeks after a TikTok surfaced of Christine and Kody’s only son, Paedon Brown, stating that he felt his mom’s relationship was moving a bit fast.
“Last night [I told her], ‘Hey mom, you’re going fast. I’m not telling you to slow down, I just want you to be aware that you’re rushing this. You were in– you’ve been in a bad relationship [with Kody] for years,'” Paedon had revealed on TikTok Live weeks earlier.
Paedon also mentioned at the time that he and David “are both standoffish,” though he insisted he is “very, very happy” that his mom is happy in her new relationship. Paedon also noted that most of his five sisters “are on my side” (which we can assume means they also like David but feel the couple is moving very fast).
Meanwhile, Christine and David’s relationship received the stamp of approval from David’s daughter Kati Charlene months ago, with the married mom of three telling followers she’s “the luckiest” person for getting to have Christine as a “second mom.”
“Christine has found a way to make all my siblings feel loved and she’s amazing,” Kati stated on TikTok.
Kati reposted Christine and David’s engagement announcement to her Instagram Story on Thursday, adding a series of emojis to confirm she’s still fully supportive of the pairing.
While Christine’s former husband and former ‘Sister Wives’ Robyn and Meri have yet to speak out about her engagement, Janelle made it clear that she’s happy for Christine, whom she’s still very close with. Janelle reposted Christine and David’s engagement photo, along with a “Happy Dance” graphic after the news was announced.
According to Christine’s daughter, Gwendlyn Brown, Janelle has yet to meet David.
“They just haven’t had the chance to meet David,” she revealed during a recent Instagram Live session.
She added that this is mainly because Christine’s been busy filming for the upcoming season of ‘Sister Wives.’
“When my mom’s in town, the cameras are in town at the same time,” Gwendlyn said.
There is no word on how Kody (and his kidneys) took the news of Christine’s engagement.

Hey c’mon now, these two crazy kids are old enough and know what they want and need in a relationship. David seems like a very nice guy, and I wish nothing but happiness for these two!
I’m surprisingly OK with this. They’re probably not getting married this weekend, so the engagement could be a while. And Christine has seemed to really take self-reflection and growth seriously over the past years, which is why she dumped ramen-brain in the first place. If she has a good idea of what she wants and expects in a relationship and David ticks the boxes and their children who have actually been around them as a couple are happy for them, I’m not going to get mad about it.
We may assume they’re moving to quickly, but who are we to judge?
I married after 4 months and lasted 4 years and was a dumpster fire. A friend visited her brother whole he was in army. She met his friend. They wed in 30 days, before he deployed and still married 15 years later, successful loving family.
My husband and I were young kids unhealed with a lot of trauma. We probably would’ve been better today.
Yes this was quick but I’m thrilled for Christine. She is finally being treated like she deserves to be. Kody was cruel to her, he seemed to enjoy it. Now bitter Kody and weird eyebrow Robyn can seethe and become more angry. Soon that relationship will be engulfed in misery if it isn’t already.
It also makes me happy that David seems to treat Truely well and that Truely likes him. Kody was painfully awkward with her and it was very hard to watch because she seems like a sweetheart.
I wish them many many years of laughs, happiness and love!
I always submit before finishing. I’m happy for Christine. She’s a grown adult and knows who she is and has learned a lot about the world since appearing on the show. The show was a blessing for her.
She was convinced that was the kind of life to live to she grew up and realized it wasn’t. I’m happy for her and David.
Happy when they are. They’re adults. Who will be invited and who won’t?
I think she will invite Janelle and her kids, perhaps Leon because she raised them too.
Or they have a small ceremony with not that many people.
I honestly hope this turns out the be the real deal. Let’s not be too pessimistic about it yet. She deserves to find true happiness.
Let her be happy she was married to creepy wag too long she is older let them enjoy it
This is the second relationship this woman has ever had. And the first normal and traditional relationship. I just hope that she’s not jumping too quickly into a relationship because this guy isn’t as bad as Kody and her first time being the only woman in a relationship.
I wish her the best. And I would love to have a hidden camera in the room when Kody heard the news. I think he threw a tamper tantrum.
Jesus H Christ.
If this is a “I can’t have sex outside of marriage” situation I will be so disappointed in Christine!
Why else is there such a rush???
😬
I so hope Christine and David are happy for the rest of their lives. She looks radiant and I’m really HAPPY she’s experiencing the love of being one man’s focus. Congratulations!
