Christine Brown is getting unexpected encouragement.
On Thursday, the “Sister Wives” star shared a photo on Instagram of a handwritten note she got from a flight attendant while travelling with her fiancé David Woolley.
“Ms. Brown (soon to be Mrs. Woolley), thank you so much for choosing to fly Delta! It was so nice to meet you and David,” the note read.
“Thank you for showing girls everywhere that we all deserve our prince and to be happy!” the flight attendant added. “Wishing you all the happiness in your new marriage!”
Brown and Woolley announced their engagement earlier this year, in April, with the reality star telling People, “David treats me like a queen and tells me I’m beautiful every day. I’ve never been in love like this before, and the world seems like a brighter place with him in it.”
She first went public with her relationship back in February. Before that, Brown had been married to Kody Brown, her “Sister Wives” co-star, for 26 years. They split in 2021.
The Brown family’s relationships are getting messier and messier on TLC’sSister Wives.
In a teaser for an upcoming Sister Wives: One-on-One special hosted by Sukanya Krishnan, Kody Brown and second wife Janelle confirmed that they have “separated.” The pair has been together, though not legally married — as polygamy is illegal in Utah where they live — for nearly 30 years.
Janelle, 53, told Krishnan that she and Kody, also 53, have been “separated for several months.” Kody confirmed the split in a solo interview of his own.
“Janelle has made it pretty clear to me that she’s enjoying her life without me,” Kody said.

Janelle seemed to think a little more highly of Kody.
“I think if we both really sat down, we’d look at each other and say, ‘Really?’” she said.
Kody also confirmed that he is now divorced from his third wife Christine. In 2021, Christine announced her separation from Cody, claiming they had “grown apart” after 25 years together.
“For Janelle, I think she’s frustrated and she’s so hurt, and I think that man that she was married to, she realizes that he’s totally different, but she’s different too,” said Christine, 50.
Kody is still with his first wife Meri (though their relationship has become platonic) and his fourth wife Robyn, whom he is legally married to.
The Sister Wives: One-on-One special will see solo interviews with Kody, Janelle, Meri, Robyn and Christine. In the trailer, Kody admits that the relationships between his wives “aren’t good.” The emotional interviews range in topic from reconciliation (or lack thereof) to past arguments between the sister wives and which of the women is Kody’s “favourite” wife.

Earlier this year, amid rising tensions in the Brown family, Kody asked his wives to “conform to patriarchy.”
During a solo confessional in the same episode, Janelle told the cameras she “didn’t know I’d signed up for patriarchy,” as that was “not what we all agreed on in the very beginning.” She ended the comment with a shrug.
Kody legally married his first wife Meri in 1990. He spiritually married Janelle, his second wife, in 1993. Christine and Kody entered into a spiritual marriage in 1994, making her his third wife. His fourth wife, Robyn, joined the Brown family in 2010.
In 2014, Kody divorced Meri and legally married Robyn in order to adopt her three children from an earlier marriage.
