Sister Wives Christine Brown Woolley has been silently dealing with a grief that she anticipated would eventually come, but not so soon.The Sister Wives actress is grieving the loss of a person who was very dear to her.

Although she had been mentally prepared for the death for a while, it was nonetheless shocking when it eventually occurred.

 

 

Fans have watched Christine’s life transform over the years. Once entrenched in a plural marriage she later realized was never meant for her, she made the life-altering decision to leave Flagstaff, Arizona, along with her sister wives and her first husband, Kody Brown. She returned to Utah with her youngest daughter, Truely, determined to rebuild on her own terms.

That fresh start led her to David Woolley. The two fell in love, married, and even launched businesses together. By all appearances, Christine had stepped into a season of joy and stability. But happiness has not shielded her from heartbreak.

One of the most devastating losses came with the death of Garrison Brown—Kody and Janelle Brown’s son, who was raised by Christine. His passing shook the entire family, leaving a wound that has taken time and strength to begin healing. Now, Christine is facing another profound loss.

On January 8th, 2026, her father, Rex Allred, passed away at the age of 78. Longtime viewers of Sister Wives will remember Rex from the TLC series, including the touching moment when he walked Christine down the aisle during her wedding to David. According to his obituary, Rex passed away peacefully at home.

The obituary notes that he is survived by his wife of 47 years, Susan, as well as Christine’s mother, Annie, to whom he was no longer married. Rex came from a remarkably large family—he was one of 48 siblings—and he leaves behind 40 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.

As tributes flooded the obituary page, Christine shared something deeply personal of her own. She posted a childhood photo of herself with her father, alongside a written tribute she had been working on long before his passing. The words suggested that while she knew this moment was coming, the timing still caught her off guard. Writing, it seems, had become a way for her to cope long before she needed to say goodbye.

The response from fans was immediate and heartfelt. Messages of sympathy and support poured in as people reached out to comfort her during this painful time:

• Sorry for your loss Christine sending love!

• I’m so sorry for your tremendous loss Christine

• I’m sorry you are going through this, I am going through something a bit similar and it’s not easy

• Losing a parent is so very difficult, even when your mourning isn’t new. Sending strength and love.

Although Christine had been navigating her father’s illness for some time, his passing still left her reeling. Grief, even when anticipated, has a way of arriving with unexpected force.

For now, those closest to her—and countless fans—can only hope that Rex Allred is finally at peace, free from any pain he endured, and remembered for the lasting impact he had on a family that continues to honor him.
