Christine Brown seemed close with her mother Ruthanne "Annie" Stevens, when Annie moved in her into her Las Vegas home on Season 8 of "Sister Wives. Annie made several appearances on the show. However, they haven't always been close, and Christine even kept her mom at arm's length for several years at one point, according to Showbiz CheatSheet.

You may recall Annie talking about leaving Christine's dad, Rex Allred, on Season 8 of "Sister Wives." Annie later discussed the "dark side" of polygamy in a 1998 documentary, while her daughter was still living the lifestyle as the third wife to Kody Brown, which probably didn't help the relationship. 

"I had a defining moment where I knew I was going to leave. And It was one of the most terrifying moments I've had in my life, 'cause you just don't leave. People don't leave. And I would go in my room and pray a lot because here I was doing life by the book, and I hated my life," Annie said in a "Sister Wives" confessional.

The relationship looked like it improved after Christine left Kody, though. Christine shared a video of her cooking chicken noodle soup with her mom in her TLC "Cooking with Christine" series in September 2022. Both women appeared happy and comfortable while filming, which is hopefully a good sign.
