That's Christine Brown Woolley to you! The 51-year-old Sister Wives star tied the knot with David Woolley in October 2023, but just recently made her name change official. 

Earlier this week, Christine took to her Instagram Stories praising the ease of the name-changing processs. 

"You know it's amazing what you can get appointments for and get them done so fast. My driver's license, my name change and everything. It was so easy," she shared with her followers. "The driver's license with the appointment, so easy, Social Security for an appointment, it was amazing." 

She noted that the entire process took around 10 minutes in total. 

Christine also made the name change official on her Instagram page, changing her name to "Christine Brown Woolley."

Shortly after she tied the knot with David last year, Christine spoke with ET about her decision to legally change her name. 

"I will change it legally to Christine Woolley, but I'll still be known as Christine Brown, just because I've been Christine Brown for 14 years, you know?" she explained to ET. "But no, it will be Christine Woolley, definitely."

Christine rose to fame on TLC's Sister Wives show during her spiritual marriage to Kody Brown. She announced the end of her marriage in 2021, becoming the first of Kody's wives to step away from the union. Shortly after, Janelle Brown and Meri Brown followed suit, leaving Kody with his only remaining spouse, Robyn Brown

In addition to the family's estrangement in recent years, the Browns also suffered a tragic loss after Garrison Brown took his own life last month.

The son of Janelle and Kody was 25 at the time of his death, and in the wake of his passing, the family has publicly mourned Garrison, and recently honored his birthday. 

"Happy Birthday Sweetheart. We are missing you terribly today," Janelle captioned a sweet video of one of Garrison's past birthdays. "It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore. We talked a lot about you today and even went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (your favorite place 😀). I still feel you nearby sometimes. And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed."

ET spoke with Janelle and Christine in November 2023 about Kody's estrangement from some of his family members. At the time, Janelle said that Kody wanted to have a better relationship with his kids.

"I think that's probably the goal, right? He will eventually figure out how to have a relationship with his children. I mean, I hope it will over time," she told ET at the time.
