DAYS after the Snowdens tied the knot in their three way bohemian wedding ceremony Vanessa announced on social media that she was leaving the family.
The split seems to be amicable as both Vanessa and Dimitri’s social media post seem friendly.
In May of 2019, shortly after the Snowdens had a wedding celebration, Vanessa posted on Instagram that she was stepping away from the family.
In the Instagram post she explained, “After some deep soul searching, I have decided to part ways with the Snowdens.”
“I love Ashley, Dimitri, and the children so much, and will continue to do so always. However, my love and commitment to them overshadowed my love and commitment to myself,” Vanessa wrote.
Some have speculated that Vanessa may have left the family due to Dimitri’s instance to find a third sister wife so soon after their wedding ceremony.
Others have guessed that she stepped away because she was left to watch the kids while Ashley was heading the family business, Snowden Botanicals, and Dimitri was running his IT company.
When Vanessa met Ashley and Dimitri they were not legally married but considered themselves husband and wife. Pretty soon into the relationship, the Snowdens invited Vanessa to move in with them and their three kids in LA.
The finale of season two aired the throuples wedding ceremony but just a week later Vanessa shared her post announcing her departure.
After the split, Vanessa flew over to Australia where her twin sister, Adrienne, lives and has stayed since.
In January of 2020, Vanessa shared her excitement on social media as Adrienne tied the knot to her long term boyfriend.
Vanessa has been very transparent about her hope to find new love and even joined Tinder.
But Vanessa has stayed busy.
In 2019, she began a YouTube podcast channel with Adrienne called “The Impossible Twins” commenting on an array of topics such as pop culture, current events, movies, and their personal lives.
Fans have noted that Vanessa’s inspiration may have come from Ashley and Dimitri’s podcast “Shift Gets Real”.
The Snowdens will be back for season three of Seeking Sister Wife.
The new season premieres on TLC at 8pm ET Monday, March 22, 2021.
This season will follow Ashley and Dimitri as they work through their heartbreak and begin dating two new women Christeline and Tayler.
Christeline is a single mother living in South Africa.
Tayler is a henna artist from Atlanta, Georgia.
The trailer for the new season shows, Tayler telling Ashley, “Speaking of sharing, we already set the D schedule. I like it in the morning. Christeline can be getting D in the night.”
In her confessional Ashley seems shaken, “Um that’s kind of scary to think about.”
