Subtitle: The Sister Wives stars rally around Christine Brown following the passing of her father, Rex Allred.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — In a bittersweet season of personal triumphs and new beginnings, the Brown family has been struck by a heavy loss. Rex Allred, the father of Christine Brown and a prominent figure in the family’s history, has passed away.
The news comes at a time when the family was celebrating several “highs,” including Janelle’s nearly finished new home and Meri’s upcoming book launch. However, the family has now put all differences aside to gather in Utah to honor the patriarch’s legacy.
A Pillar of the Community
Rex Allred was well-known to long-time viewers of Sister Wives, appearing on screen during several pivotal moments, most recently at Christine’s wedding to David Woolley. As a prominent figure within the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB), Rex lived the life of a polygamist himself.
While Christine’s mother, Annie, famously left both Rex and the church in the early 1990s, Christine maintained a deep, public bond with her father. She frequently credited him for being supportive of her own decision to leave Kody Brown, despite his high-ranking role within their former faith.
The Family Unites in Grief
Mykelti Padron, who has become a vocal update-source for the family, confirmed the news during a recent livestream. Fans noticed a visible shift in her energy after she stepped away to take an emotional phone call.
-
Travel to Utah: Mykelti and her brother Paedon (who traveled from North Carolina) are currently in Utah to support Christine.
-
A Familiar Pain: This loss follows the tragic passing of Garrison Brown two years ago—an event that the family says “set the BS aside,” forcing them to prioritize healing and unity over past conflicts.
Finding Comfort in New Life
The family is currently staying with Aspyn Brown Thompson, who recently welcomed a new baby just a few months ago. Family members shared that having the newborn around has provided a much-needed sense of hope and “great help” as they navigate the funeral arrangements.
While Christine has not yet released a formal statement, she shared a poignant message about the nature of grief on her social media, signaling her current state of reflection.
