Sister Wives<\/em> <\/a>star Janelle Brown<\/strong><\/a> is taking a moment to reflect on her past relationship dynamic.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you ever wondered about what the version of you who second-guess everything would think of you now?\u201d Brown, 57, wrote over a Thursday, August 20, Instagram<\/a> video.<\/p>\n

In the clip, Brown smiled as she gazed at the camera while standing at the beach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think about her sometimes. The version of me who ran every decision past three people before she trusted it enough to move,\u201d Janelle wrote in the caption, seemingly referring to ex Kody Brown<\/strong>\u2019s partners Robyn, Christine<\/strong> and Meri<\/strong>. (Christine, 54, was the first to leave Kody, 57,<\/a> and Janelle and Meri, 55, followed after, both confirming their separations from Kody in December 2022 and January 2023, respectively.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tChristine Brown got real with Janelle Brown about her future with Kody Brown \u2014 and the family as a whole \u2014 in the latest episode of Sister Wives. Christine, 51, sat down with Janelle, 54, during the Sunday, October 22, episode to reflect on their respective highs and lows with Kody, 54, as the polygamist [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cShe would probably not even recognize the version of me who bought land without a plan, who changed course mid-week because it stopped feeling right, who doesn\u2019t ask permission before making the call anymore,\u201d Janelle continued. \u201cI don\u2019t think she\u2019d think I got braver, necessarily. I think she\u2019d just be relieved. Like she\u2019d been waiting a long time for someone to finally believe her instead of everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Days prior, Janelle shared that she has a new love in her life<\/a>. While introducing fans to her boyfriend, Pete<\/strong>, Janelle uploaded a selfie of the pair smiling via her Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome chapters are meant to unfold quietly before they\u2019re shared,\u201d she wrote on Tuesday, August 18. \u201cI wasn\u2019t looking. I certainly wasn\u2019t expecting you. And somehow, you turned out to be exactly what I didn\u2019t know I needed. And it has been pretty wonderful. \ud83e\ude77. Everyone please meet Pete.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the comments section, Janelle received a message of support from Christine, who wrote, \u201cHe\u2019s such an awesome guy!! They are so cute together and he\u2019s a construction worker \ud83d\udc77\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f like David!!\u201d (Christine tied the knot with David<\/strong> Woolley<\/strong> in October 2023 following her split from Kody.)<\/p>\n
