Sister Wives: Christine’s Father Rex Had A Polygamist Family History

Christine’s father, Rex Allred, made his last appearance at Christine and David Woolley’s wedding, which was shown in one of the episodes. Christine’s mother, Ruth Anne Stevens, also attended the ceremony and reunited with her ex, Rex, for the sake of the family. Christine and her mother were also not on speaking terms, as Christine was embarrassed to leave her side after her divorce. Ruth Anne left Rex and their polygamous ways just like Christine did in her latter life.

Kody often referenced Christine’s “royal” status within the Apostolic United Brethren (AUB). Christine’s grandfather, Rulon C. Allred, founded the AUB in 1961 and served as one of its most influential leaders. At its peak in the late 1990s, the church had hundreds of followers who practiced polygamy. Rex later left his leadership role in the AUB, but still practiced polygamy.
