Janelle Brown tells PEOPLE she has “no hard feelings” toward her ex Kody Brown after their split was announced in December 2022

Janelle Brown is moving on from her marriage to Kody Brown — but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have some lingering “affection” for him.

The 54-year-old Sister Wives star exclusively tells PEOPLE that everything has been “all friendly” between the exes since their split was announced in December 2022.

“I still feel some affection for him, but I don’t want to be married to him and I don’t want to be with him, but I have no hard feelings,” she shares. “I really don’t have any hard feelings.”

Despite still being on good terms with her ex, Janelle says, “I wasn’t heartbroken when the marriage fell apart, maybe because we’d been drifting apart for so long. It was just a bang that let us drift apart all the way.”

In a sneak peek of Sunday’s Sister Wives episode, Janelle decides to spend her birthday with Kody despite their marital woes. But she admits they “had reached a point where we weren’t connected and I was very frustrated” before their latest blowout fight.

She continues, “But, on a very superficial level, Kody and I can go and hang out and we can have a great time if I just compartmentalize and put away all the other stuff. So when he called them like, ‘Yeah, hey, it’s better than staying home and watching TV.’”

In a confessional from the upcoming episode, Janelle also questioned her future with Kody, explaining, “At this point, I really don’t foresee Kody and I working our relationship out.”

“I have to always be open to the possibility that we will somehow be struck by lightning and that it will all be happily ever after,” she added. “But I’m also a realist and I know that it doesn’t look good.”

Despite admitting their last interaction was “the worst fight” they had ever had, she is still hopeful to keep things peaceful during her birthday celebration.

“I don’t want any fighting,” she said. “I just want to be easy and have fun and celebrate the day.”

Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
