Sister Wives: Mykelti Reveals Why She Is Moving Away From Christine

During a YouTube live session, Sister Wives star Mykelti and her husband Tony Padron revealed their plans to move to North Carolina soon. They announced they would be selling their house in Utah due to the high costs associated with the move. Tony shared that they have already started packing for their big relocation. This decision has shocked fans, as it means Mykelti will be leaving not only her home in Utah but also her mother Christine. Recently, Mykelti listed not just one but many reasons for the move, putting the rumors to rest.

According to a Redditor, Tony landed his dream job as a chess instructor at a top chess academy in Charlotte, North Carolina. Meanwhile, Mykelti, who was working a sales job, revealed that she’s been allowed to work remotely. It looks like Tony’s job opportunity in North Carolina was a major factor in their decision. The couple plans to move next Wednesday. But there’s more to the story.

The Redditor also mentioned that Mykelti wanted to live somewhere greener. She admitted she’s been dealing with personal issues, contributing to the move. She originally moved to Utah “to create a support system” for Christine after her divorce from Kody. However, it seems the Sister Wives star is now doing well and is married again, living a great life with David Wolley. Mykelti also expressed her desire to distance herself from the family drama and become more independent.

Moreover, Mykelti’s cousin Maddie and her family live in North Carolina. One of David’s kids is also moving to the state, so Mykelti’s kids will have more kids to play with. Their house in Utah has not been sold yet. Although they received one offer for it, it was not accepted.

Sister Wives: Janelle’s Living In North Carolina?

Mykelti’s confession brought some startling news about the Brown family household. As fans know, Janelle’s daughter, Maddie Brown Brush, lives in North Carolina with her husband, Caleb Brush, and their children. Mykelti mentioned it would be nice to get close to Janelle’s household. During the conversation, Tony spilled, “Ya, I mean Janelle lives out there.”

This seemed like an accidental revelation, as Mykelti quickly told Tony that he wasn’t supposed to say that. Sister Wives fans know that Janelle has been spending a lot of time with Maddie recently. This slip-up suggests that she might not be just be visiting Maddie but actually living with her or somewhere nearby.

Interestingly, Janelle’s new flower business is located in Flagstaff, Arizona. So, has she really moved away? What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments section below. For more exciting news updates from Sister Wives, stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers.
