In this week’s PEOPLE cover story, theSister Wivesstar, 54, admits that he would be “very interested in reconciling” with his second wife Janelle, 54, after theyannounced their separationin December 2022.
“I’m still looking for reconciliation with Janelle. I won’t say she’s been wishy-washy about the departure,” he shares. “But I keep thinking, ‘This isn’t a reason for us to break up. We can work through this. We can find trust again and negotiate an agreement on that trust if we’ll just work on it.’”

“I have to find a new normal with Janelle because even if Janelle and I reconcile our marriage, it’s still going to be a new normal because it’s going to be different from where we’ve been before,” he explains. “Because how it was working for us didn’t seem like it was quite right. It wasn’t whole.”
Kody admits he and Janelle — who sharechildrenLogan, 29, Madison 27, Hunter, 26, Garrison, 25, Gabriel, 21, and Savanah, 18 — are still navigating their breakup but he remains hopeful the pair can “negotiate [a] reconciliation,” adding, “It’s been a dark time but I’m moving forward.”
