Janelle Brown is grateful for getting to celebrate her daughter Madison’s birthday together for “the first time in years.”

On Nov. 5, the Sister Wives star, 55, shared a belated birthday message to Madison, who turned 29 on Nov. 3, on Instagram alongside a series of photos of her daughter over the years.

“Happy Birthday @madison_rose11 !” she wrote. “Yes I’m one day late posting but we were having so much fun yesterday I didn’t want to stop and make a post. It was fun to spend a birthday with you for the first time in years.”

She added, “Here is the best wife, mom, daughter and business partner 🩷”

The post included snapshots of Madison — who Janelle shares with ex Kody Brown — with her mother, who were both sporting orange vests, as well as pictures of her with her husband Caleb Brush and their children.

“The orange is because it was hunting season and we were in the trees on the property,” Janelle explained.

In addition to her birthday, Madison is also preparing to welcome her fourth baby with Brush.

"What a wild year! Looks like 2025 might be a little crazy too!" Madison shared on Instagram in September. "Baby Brush #4 coming March 2025. ????."

Janelle reposted the photo on her Instagram Stories, writing, "Pretty dang excited," across the photo.

On the Nov. 3 episode of Sister Wives, Janelle opened up about Madison’s decision to hide her third pregnancy from Kody. After he asked why she had told him the news, Janelle responded, "The kids are all feeling very estranged from you.”

Janelle then told cameras that Madison feels like Kody "hasn't shown interest" in her children: son Axel, 7, and daughters Evie, 5, and Josephine, 21 months.

"Maddie has observed to me that Kody has not been out to see her kids since Evie was born, and Evie's 3," she shared. "Maddie's like, 'Why would I tell him that I'm having another one? He hasn't really shown that much interest in the other two.'"

Kody admitted that he was struggling to come to terms with Madison's decision, saying she's "talking like I've done some kind of evil to them. I'm missing something here."

He added the pair’s estrangement was due to "jealousy and gossip," which he discussed earlier this season.
