Sister Wives’ Janelle and Kody Brown’s Daughter Maddie Pregnant With Baby No. 4: Bump Photos
Expanding the family! Sister Wives stars Janelle Brown and Kody Brown’s daughter Maddie Brush (née Brown) is pregnant and expecting baby No. 4 with husband Caleb Brush. The TLC star announced the exciting news in July 2022 and has taken fans on her journey with photos of her growing baby bump.
“Baby decided it was time to POP!” Maddie wrote alongside a boomerang of herself rubbing her belly in August 2022. “Every pregnancy I swear it’s quicker and quicker that my body goes, ‘op, there’s a baby! Time to POP!’”
“It is probably 80 percent muscle memory and pregnancy bloat, but I’ll take it,” she added with a crying laughing emoji, noting that she was 14 weeks pregnant with her third child.
Maddie first announced her pregnancy news with a photo of her two children wearing matching “Big Brother” and “Big Sister” T-shirts.
“The picture says it all!” she shared in her July Instagram post. “The Brush family is growing by one early February.”
Sister Wives star Christine Brown shared in the excitement commenting that she “can’t wait for another grandbaby!” Christine and Kody’s daughter, Mykelti Padron (née Brown) – who welcomed twin boys Ace and Archer with husband Tony Padron in November 2022 – also joined in on the celebration.
“Super congratulations sista!!” Mykelti exclaimed at the time.
Two months after sharing the exciting news, Maddie revealed she’s expecting a baby girl.
“Baby Girl Brush! Coming Feb 2023!” she captioned a sweet video of her children popping confetti bombs to reveal the gender in September 2022. “Ultrasound was great! A few things too small so we will have one follow-up. No major concerns,” she added.
Maddie – who married husband Caleb in June 2016 – is already mom to son Axel, whom she welcomed in May 2017, and daughter Evangalynn “Evie” Kodi, born in August 2019.
While eight months pregnant with her eldest daughter, Maddie opened up about being so “done” with being pregnant.
“Just shy of 36 weeks,” she captioned her July 2019 Instagram post. “No, it’s not twins. Yes, they double-checked. Yes, I am hot. I know I’m huge but telling me is definitely something that will help my day,” she added with a side eye emoji.
“Here’s to praying she comes a little early,” Maddie wrote with the hashtags “Grateful but over it” and “I get the twin question a lot.”
“Is it socially acceptable just to look like this ‘til the baby’s born?” she shared in another pregnancy update, adding the hashtags “done” and “35 weeks.” “Can I just blame it on the heat and the pregnancy? Because I have no energy to get ready. And when I do get ready, I just feel hot.”
During a Q&A on her Instagram Story in January 2023, the soon-to-be mom of three opened up about the final stretch of her pregnancy and her birth plan, telling one fan that mom Janelle will be flying in to be by her side. “Provided I don’t have the baby before she flies in,” Maddie added.
After another fan asked how she’s feeling about becoming a mom to three little ones, Maddie replied, “I’m very excited! I think I would be more nervous if my kids were younger. We are very excited to welcome the much-anticipated third though!”

SPEAKING OUT
Maddie hopped on her Instagram Story on December 16, 2022, to let off some steam about people commenting on pregnant people’s bodies.
“Okay, I have something controversial to talk about. It’s going to make some people mad, but it needs to be said,” she began. “Pregnant women do not need to hear, ‘Wow, it looks like you’re going to have a big baby!’ We don’t need to hear that. Nobody wants to hear that. Most people that look big don’t have big babies. Some people that don’t look big have big babies. There is no way to tell by the size of the stomach. So we just don’t need to hear it. That’s all.”

BIRTH PLAN
Maddie opened up about why she isn’t doing a home birth after a fan asked during her January 2023 Instagram Q&A. “It’s very, very hard to find a provider in North Carolina that will do a home birth,” she explained. “I would love to, but my options were very limited, so I’m going with a midwife and a hospital.”
