Madison Brush, a well-known personality from the popular reality show Sister Wives, recently shared some exciting news with her followers on social media: she is expecting a baby girl. This announcement comes as Brush and her husband, Caleb Brush, prepare to welcome their fourth child in March 2025. The couple, who are already parents to three children, will soon add another daughter to their growing family, joining their son, Axel, 7, and their oldest daughter, Evie, 5.
Baby Brush #4: A New Chapter for the Growing Family
In a heartfelt Instagram post on November 8, 2024, Madison Brush revealed the gender of their upcoming baby, saying, “Excited to share here that Baby Brush #4 will be another little girl!” This announcement sparked an outpouring of support and congratulations from fans and followers, many of whom were thrilled for the family.
Brush, who had already shared glimpses of her growing family over the years, also expressed her excitement and joy in her post. She mentioned that while her daughter, Evie, was overjoyed to hear about the new addition, her son, Axel, had a more mixed reaction. Axel, who had been hoping for a brother, was not initially thrilled about having another sister. However, Brush noted that he was gradually adjusting to the news.
“Evie is over the moon, poor Axel is coming around to the idea and Joey has no idea what’s about to come. Caleb and I are just excited for a happy, healthy girl and family,” Brush wrote in the caption, adding a humorous touch about Axel’s reluctance to embrace the idea of another sister.
Axel’s Disappointment: A Brother Not in the Cards
During a recent episode of her podcast, The Authentic Society, Madison Brush opened up about her son Axel’s reaction to the news of the new baby. She shared that Axel had been “very disappointed” when he learned that he would not be getting a brother. According to Brush, Axel had been eagerly hoping for a boy and even went so far as to pray that the baby’s gender would change.
“[He was] sobbing, crying, told us the next morning that he was going to pray that God changed this to a boy. And I was like, ‘Doesn’t work that way, buddy,’” Brush recounted during the podcast. Despite his initial disappointment, Brush noted that Axel was slowly warming up to the idea of having another sister, though it remained a work in progress.
A Surprise Pregnancy Announcement
Madison Brush’s announcement that she was expecting her fourth child came earlier in September 2024, when she shared a post on Instagram revealing that Baby Brush #4 would be arriving in March 2025. At the time, Brush captioned the post, “What a wild year! Looks like 2025 might be a little crazy too! Baby Brush #4 coming March 2025.” This exciting news came as a surprise to many, as Brush had not initially planned on expanding her family after the birth of her third child, Josephine “Joey,” who was born earlier in 2024.
The pregnancy announcement was met with enthusiasm from fans and well-wishers, many of whom expressed their excitement and support in the comments section. One commenter wrote, “Congrats and you are so darn beautiful. Blessing to you and the new one and hope all goes well with your pregnancy. So glad you have a job where you can be home with the kids. All the best to your family.” Another added, “Congratulations, Madison, in March wow, this baby will bring you a lot of love.”
A Strained Relationship with Kody Brown
While Madison Brush’s family has been celebrating the upcoming arrival of Baby Brush #4, her relationship with her father, Kody Brown, remains strained. In a recent episode of Sister Wives (Season 19, Episode 4), Kody Brown expressed his disappointment regarding his estranged relationship with Brush. He revealed that she had distanced her children from him, even moving them away from his presence physically. Kody also shared that Madison had not informed him of her pregnancy with Joey, further straining their bond.
According to Kody, he felt hurt by the lack of communication and the absence of his grandchildren in his life. “Madison physically moved her children away from me,” he told his wife, Robyn Brown. “She chose not to share that she was pregnant with Joey with me.” This comment highlighted the ongoing rift between Madison and her father, a theme that has been explored throughout Sister Wives.
Janelle Brown Speaks on the Family Tensions
In the same Sister Wives episode, Madison’s mother, Janelle Brown, weighed in on the tension between Kody and his daughter. Janelle explained that many of Kody’s children, including Madison, were upset with him due to the way he had treated their family over the years. According to Janelle, Madison had been particularly protective of her children and had distanced herself from Kody, who had not been present in her life since the birth of Evie, who is now 3½ years old.
“The way he has completely like ditched out,” Janelle said of Kody’s relationship with his children. “Maddie doesn’t have any contact with him. She is very protective of her children. Kody has not been there since Evie was born, and Evie is 3½.” This sentiment was echoed by Janelle, who noted that Madison had made the decision to keep her children from becoming confused by Kody’s sporadic presence in their lives.
“She didn’t want him to just drop in and be like, ‘Oh, I’m your grandpa,’ and them be like, ‘What? Who is this guy?’” Janelle added, reflecting on Madison’s desire to shield her children from a confusing relationship with their grandfather.
A New Chapter Amidst Family Struggles
While Madison Brush’s pregnancy announcement has been met with excitement and joy from fans, it also highlights the ongoing personal struggles and complicated family dynamics within the Brown family. As she prepares to welcome another daughter, Brush’s decision to distance herself from her father and protect her children from the uncertainty of his presence reflects her desire to create a stable, loving environment for her growing family.
As the Sister Wives series continues to explore the relationships between Kody Brown and his children, it remains clear that Madison’s journey as a mother and her evolving family dynamics will continue to captivate viewers. Despite the tensions within her family, Madison’s focus on her children and her commitment to raising them in a healthy, supportive environment shines through in her recent announcement, and she looks forward to welcoming her newest daughter in 2025.
