On season 17 of "Sister Wives," Gabe recalled Kody calling up on his birthday more concerned about COVID symptoms than anything else. He hung up the phone with no mention of Gabe's birthday and then called him back later with wishes that apparently came too late for Gabe.

In a 2022 episode of "Sister Wives," Ysabel revealed just how close she and her mom were after her parents split up.
"I think that she depended on me, not that it's a bad thing," she said in a confessional interview. "So, I think it got quite heavy in the house and it got very emotional."
