"Sister Wives" star Christine Brown celebrated Thanksgiving with her mom, children and grandchildren following her split from Kody Brown.
Weeks after announcing that she had separated from Kody, 52, after 25 years together, Christine, 49, shared on Instagram a photo of her, her mother Ruthann LeBaron and daughter Truely, 11, sporting the same blue and white pajamas as they pose in front of the Christmas tree.
"Matching pajamas with my Mom and Truely!" Christine captioned the Thursday Instagram snap, adding "Blessed," "Lula Roe Holly," "Holiday" and "Christmas Pajamas" hashtags in her post.
The TLC star also shared a picture of her 25-year-old daughter Mykelti's 7-month-old daughter Avalon smiling for the camera. "Avalon's first time in Oma's high chair!” she wrote.
A third Instagram snap featuring Christine's family playing a "Harry Potter" version of "Clue" was captioned: "I am so tired of LOSING … Truely WON and this wad of paper is her scorecard!"
The reality TV star's friends and followers expressed their joy and showed their support for her in the comments section, with some saying that she was glowing.
"Christine, you absolutely look so much happier. Love you, lady. I am team Christine all the way," one fan commented.
"Finally watched the first episode of the new season, and I just want to say [clapping hands emoji]. Knowing that you're going to make your life better, in the end, is keeping me going. I'm really happy for you. But I do want to say I had nothing against your family dynamic, I'm just happy for you individually," another wrote.
"Your smile shines bright. Happiness looks good on you," a third follower added.
"This is such a happy picture! Love it!" a fourth netizen wrote.
Earlier this month, Christine revealed her split from Kody on Instagram, saying in a statement that she made the "difficult" decision to leave him as they had "grown apart." She also said that they will continue to co-parent their children: son Paedon, 23, and daughters Aspyn, 26, Mykelti, 25, Gwendlyn, 20, Ysabel, 18, and Truely, 11.
Kody said in his own statement that his and Christine's decision to separate came with a "great deal of sadness."
Christine entered into a plural marriage with Kody in 1994. At the time, he was already married to his first wife Meri Brown and his second wife Janelle Brown.
Robyn Brown joined the arrangement in 2010. Four years later, Kody and Meri, 50, separated on paper so he could legally wed Robyn, 43. Kody believes himself to be spiritually married to all of his wives.
An unnamed source previously told Us Weekly that Christine had been in the process of ending her relationship with Kody long before making the announcement because he has been "completely devoted to Robyn for the past five or six years."
Christine's aunt Kristyn Decker said on the "Reality Life with Kate Casey" podcast that she wasn't shocked by their separation.
"I could see it coming. I don't think Christine's been genuinely — what I call genuinely happy — for forever, since day one," Decker said. "It's kind of impossible to have a marriage when you've got a division like that [with] four women — five, whatever it's going to be, and a lot of children."
