Kody Brown and his ex Janelle Brown had no issues in the bedroom despite their marital woes.

On Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives: One on One special, Janelle, 54, admitted that there was “definitely physical compatibility” between the pair amid their ongoing issues.

When asked why she had not previously discussed their sex life, she shared, “I’m not someone who goes around blabbing about that. That’s not me, I don’t talk about that stuff. I’ll hint at it but yes, of course, everything was very good in that department.”

Host Sukanya Krishnan asked if making up after the couple’s fights was “the best part of it,” and she wholeheartedly agreed, saying, “Oh yeah.”

In a separate interview, Kody, 54, denied their sex life was what kept them together, saying, “That’s not what it is.”

“These are loving relationships,” he added. “Sex is part of it but that’s not a focus.”

Despite their physical connection, the family patriarch clarified, “She was attracted to me. I know she wasn’t in love with me.”
