‘Sister Wives’ Star Maddie Brown Gives Birth, Welcomes Baby No. 4 With Husband Caleb Brush
Sister Wives star Madison “Maddie” Brush (née Brown), the daughter of Kody and Janelle Brown, has welcomed baby No. 4 with husband Caleb Brush.
The TLC star, 29, shared the news about the birth of her daughter in a statement on Saturday, March 15.
“Absolutely worth the wait, Miss Emilia Estelle Brush has finally made her grand entrance!” Maddie wrote via Instagram alongside a sweet image of the baby girl nestled among white blankets. “Our sweet girl took her time, keeping us all in suspense, but when she decided it was time—she didn’t waste a second. Born on 3/14, she arrived absolutely perfect. We are completely smitten with our newest little love.”
Maddie had recently shared photos showing off her growing baby bump after posing for maternity portraits in eastern North Carolina, when it was snowing outside.
Prior to that, she shared another update on her road to motherhood in mid January. “33 weeks (and a few days) with baby girl Brush, featuring Caroline the dog. Some days this pregnancy has flown by, and others have felt like they stretched on forever — but we’re soaking it all in. Getting closer to meeting our little girl, and the excitement is growing every day!”
Maddie announced that she was expecting another bundle of joy in September 2024. “What a wild year!” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram reveal at the time. “Looks like 2025 might be a little crazy too! Baby Brush #4 coming March 2025.”
In a follow-up post shared last November, Madison proudly revealed the baby’s gender and said she was “excited to share that baby Brush No. 4 will be another little girl.”
Caleb, 38, and Maddie have been married since June 2016 and share four children together including Axel, 7, Evie, 5, and Josephine, 2.
“Happy Birthday to our happiest, smilies but also has a mean mug, bluey-loving, sassiest, boundary-testing, most full-of-life spitfire — our sweet baby girl, Joey Lee!” Maddie gushed while celebrating her youngest child’s B-day in February.
Maddie is one of six kids shared by Janelle, 55, and Kody, 56, including Logan, 30, Hunter, 28, Gabriel, 23, and Savanah, 20. The reality TV exes, who announced their separation in December 2022 after more than three decades together, also shared late son Garrison, who died by suicide at age 25 in March 2024.
“My words seem to fall short. Our hearts our [sic] broken and we are now swallowed with the love now left behind for this beautiful brother. God be with you till we meet again,” Maddie wrote in a heartfelt tribute after his death. “I’ll see you at the gates of Valhalla, feasting with our ancestors who battled before you. Until then, we must live in a more gray world without the light you brought.”
Maddie later spoke out after the unfathomable tragedy to thank fans and friends for their unwavering support.
“Mental health is so important,” she shared. “And I don’t think we talk about it enough. I don’t think we do enough to bring awareness. It wasn’t bullying, it wasn’t a lack of love that Garrison had. It was mental health.”
“And I am going to continue talking about mental health and self-care until I’m blue in the face because I don’t think it’s talked about enough in a way that people understand it.”
In recent weeks, Janelle told fans about making her newly purchased farm a place for healing and connection for her family.
She highlighted, “life isn’t meant to be rushed through but lived fully.”
