Maddie Brown, Kody's oldest daughter with second wife Janelle, is officially engaged to her boyfriend, Caleb Brush, news the family announced via TLC over the weekend, ahead of their season six premiere. And though the family is happy for the news, Maddie has made a decision with her fiance to not follow in their footsteps with a plural marriage.

"We are not living plural marriage," Brush, 28, told People magazine. "We support Maddie's family with their choice of living plural marriage and they support us with our choice in just marrying each other."
