Sister Wives‘ Mykelti Brown has been losing weight, and her recent Instagram photos highlight her amazing transformation. The Sister Wives star and daughter of Christine Brown became a mother to twins Ace McCord and Archer Banks Padron in January 2023, adding to her already growing family with her husband, Tony Padron, as they already had a daughter named Avalon. As Mykelti adjusts to life with three young children, she’s begun focusing on her health and happiness. Mykelti’s emphasis on self-care while remaining committed to her family is evident as she’s reached a tremendous weight-loss milestone.
It’s unclear where Sister Wives season 19 will go after Garrison’s tragic death in March 2024. While the season will allegedly continue, the Brown family has been rocked in a way they never could have imagined, even after three of Kody Brown’s wives quickly separated from him. Mykelti was heavily affected by Garrison’s death, with Mykelti even criticizing the National Guard’s handling of Garrison’s funeral. As she grieves, it’s reassuring that Mykelti is taking care of herself and focusing on her family.
Mykelti highlighted her slimmed-down figure in an Instagram post from April 23, 2024. Captioned, “New Adventures, memories and of course all the photos,” it’s clear the Padron family thoroughly enjoyed the hike. Tony, Mykelti, and their adorable children posed for photos on the Draper Bridge at sunset. “Hiking is good for the body and the soul. You and Avalon look joyful in these photos,” wrote one fan, while another noted, “you look amazing & fit!!” While weight loss isn’t the only key to happiness, it’s clear that Mykelti feels more confident and at peace in her body, adding to her joy with Avalon.
Mykelti hasn’t been secretive about her quickly slimming figure. She embarked on a weight-loss journey alongside her mother, Christine, achieving impressive results after giving birth to twins in November 2022. With support from Plexus, a dietary supplement that aids weight loss, she has continuously showcased her transformation on social media, highlighting her progress through various photos and updates. According to InTouch, Mykelti had slimmed from 275 pounds to 160 pounds by February 2024. She even happily donned a pair of size eight jeans.
Exemplifying her enjoyment of the outdoors, Mykelti smiled for a selfie on April 24 that showcased her slim face. Captioned, “Waterfall hikes. Brings me back to my engagement with @tonychessnut What a fun experience to show my kids. Just a little adventuring and nature,” the set of photos communicate the love the Padron family has for the great outdoors. Tony also looks like a thrilled father in the adorable photo where Avalon is giving him a big hug. Tony and Mykelti are loving and fabulous parents.
According to US Weekly, there were rumors that Mykelti and Tony had split, but she dispelled this gossip in March 2024. The news outlet recounted how Mykelti shared a photo of Tony during a lunch outing, emphasizing their continued commitment to each other despite speculation suggesting otherwise. Mykelti clarified that their relationship remains intact, asserting that Tony’s occasional absence from her posts doesn’t reflect any underlying issues. Perhaps this continued reassurance is why she included Tony in this post.
As Mykelti posed in comfy pajamas in February 2024, her weight loss became abundantly clear. She looked so fabulous that one fan asked, “Did you have stomach weight loss surgery?” to which Mykelti responded, “Thanks for asking. I haven’t. I’ve been eating a lot cleaner with a lot more protein and taking a gut health supplement.” While Mykelti’s weight loss journey began shortly after the birth of her twins, the drastic weight loss transformation wasn’t as obvious until February 2024, when she posted a photo in her cute and comfortable loungewear.
Mykelti has been accused of being self-serving. Her social media presence, especially her weight loss journey, indicates a desire to prioritize herself over all others, including her family. Mykelti’s self-serving nature might be too reminiscent of Kody, but at least she comes by it honestly. Additionally, social media is intentionally self-centered, so it might be an unfair assessment of the Sister Wives star. It’s only natural to post and remain relevant when Mykelti has been a reality TV star for much of her young life, and she was very respectful as news unfolded regarding Garrison’s death.
Mykelti and Tony may be self-serving, but they’re a young couple focused on raising their three young children. Additionally, it’s natural for Mykelti to have some self-centered tendencies since she grew up in reality TV. Weight loss is also an exciting process, so it’s unsurprising that she wants to share that journey with her fans on social media while enjoying time with her family. Regardless, the Sister Wives star’s weight-loss transformation is impressive, and her focus on her health after the Brown family’s tragedy is an important way to heal.
