Since 2010, audiences have had a window into the life of "Sister Wives" star Kody Brown as he raised an ever-growing family in front of TLC's cameras. But with 18 kids and already six grandkids in the clan, it's a lot to keep track of. Here's everything we know about the lives of Kody Brown's kids today, from their careers to their marital statuses and beyond.
Logan Brown is the first child of Kody and his second "spiritual" wife Janelle Brown. He's also the eldest child in the Brown family, born on May 21, 1994.According to his LinkedIn, he's currently the director for strategic operations at TravelWealth, a luxury travel concierge company in Las Vegas.
Logan married his longtime girlfriend Michelle Petty on October 22, 2022.
"You always have such a sense of peace when your children find amazing life partners," Janelle wrote in part on Instagram.
Per Christine's Instagram account, Aspyn celebrated her 28th birthday by having high tea with family and friends at The Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake City.
"She's such an amazing strong and independent woman," Christine wrote of her eldest daughter in a caption. "I'm so proud of everything she's accomplished."
Thompson graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in 2019 with a degree in human service, marriage and family therapy/counseling. She currently works as a store manager at Kendra Scott in Salt Lake City, per her LinkedIn.
"My name is Leon and my pronouns are they/them," they wrote at the time, adding that they lived as a woman for many years because they grew up in a "gendered & restrictive" environment. They said that being queer and trans were some of their "favorite parts" of themself.
Madison Brush (neé Brown) is Janelle and Kody's eldest daughter, born on November 3, 1995. She was the first Brown child to get married.
"Sister Wives" fans watched her wed Caleb Brush on the season 11 episode titled "Maddie Gets Married," which was largely filmed on their wedding day — June 4, 2016, per People.
The couple welcomed their first child, Axel, (and the first Brown grandchild) on May 20, 2017, as reported by People. They later welcomed two daughters: Evangalynn "Evie," born in 2019, and Josephine, born in February 2023.
She expressed a love for fashion on "Sister Wives," and enrolled in UNLV in 2015, but dropped out in 2016. That same year, she got engaged to Antonio "Tony" Padron, and fans watched the couple get married on season 12 of "Sister Wives." Their wedding day was December 17, 2016.
They welcomed their first child (and Christine's first biological grandchild), a daughter named Avalon, on April 5, 2021, per TLC. The child's birth was filmed for an episode of "Sister Wives."

Janelle and Kody's second son Hunter Brown was born on February 9, 1997. Past seasons of "Sister Wives" documented his reunions with family after he joined the Air Force. He graduated from the Air Force Academy with a degree in biology and went on to get a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University in nursing in May 2022.

Paedon Brown is Kody and Christine's only biological son together. He was born on August 7, 1998. He joined the Utah National Guard in 2019, per his mother's Instagram.
He's one of the most active Brown children on social media and runs a Cameo account. In 2023, he gave an interview to blogger John Yates in which he said he and some of his siblings were never "safe" around Kody's first wife, Meri Brown.
Janelle and Kody's third son, Robert Garrison Brown, went by his middle name. He was born on April 10, 1998. Garrison was in the National Guard like some of his brothers.
After returning from the National Guard, Garrison lived near his parents in Flagstaff, Arizona. Past seasons of "Sister Wives" chronicle disagreements he has had with Kody over his dad's strict COVID-19 rules.
Per his Instagram account, Garrison liked to travel and recently visited Rome in May.
Garrison was found dead in Arizona on March 5, 2024, NBC reported. Police told the publication that he appeared to have died by suicide and that his younger brother Gabe was present at the home where he was found.
"Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown," Janelle wrote in a statement posted to Instagram confirming her son's death. "He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."
David Preston "Dayton" Brown was born to Robyn Brown and her first husband David Jessop on January 16, 2000. As chronicled on "Sister Wives," Meri legally divorced Kody so he could legally adopt Dayton and two of his younger sisters in 2014.
Robyn is protective of her eldest child, who is autistic. Paedon confirmed in his 2023 interview with Yates that Dayton lived in an RV on Robyn and Kody's property.
Per Dayton's LinkedIn, he graduated from Northern Arizona University after triple-majoring in business-related fields.
Janelle and Kody's youngest son Gabriel Brown was born on October 11, 2001. He currently lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, presumably with Janelle, and attends Northern Arizona University.
"Sister Wives" has documented Gabe's deteriorating relationship with his father in recent seasons — first because of Kody's strict COVID standards during the pandemic, and then because Kody seemingly forgot his son's birthday on October 11, 2021.
On season 17 of "Sister Wives," Gabe recalled Kody calling up on his birthday more concerned about COVID symptoms than anything else. He hung up the phone with no mention of Gabe's birthday and then called him back later with wishes that apparently came too late for Gabe.
"That's the last time I ever talked to my dad," he said in a confessional interview.
Gwendlyn Queiroz (neé Brown) was born to Kody and Christine in October 2001. She currently attends Northern Arizona University.

She married her wife Beatriz Queiroz in July 2023. The newlyweds, who met while working together at a fast food restaurant, spent the summer after their wedding in Europe.
Aurora Brown is Robyn's eldest daughter from her previous marriage. She was born on June 4, 2002 according to People, and was legally adopted by Kody in 2015.

Christine and Kody's fifth child, Ysabel Brown, was born on June 12, 2003. Per a previous iteration of her Instagram bio, she is currently a student at the University of Utah. In the summer of 2023, she went on a trip to Europe with Christine and some of her sisters.
In a 2022 episode of "Sister Wives," Ysabel revealed just how close she and her mom were after her parents split up.
"I think that she depended on me, not that it's a bad thing," she said in a confessional interview. "So, I think it got quite heavy in the house and it got very emotional."
Ysabel was preparing to move to North Carolina at the time to attend college and live with Madison and her family. She has since moved to Utah to live near Christine.
Breanna Brown, Robyn's youngest child from her previous marriage, was born on July 10, 2005. She was adopted by Kody in 2015. Her Instagram account is currently private and offers no details about her life today.
