SISTER Wives star Kody Brown divorced Meri in 2023 to marry his “favorite” wife Robyn.
Meri admitted their marriage was dead and has since been trying to get on a better path in life.
Who is Meri Brown?
Meri Brown is one of the stars of the reality show Sister Wives.
From 1990-2023, she was one of Kody Brown‘s four wives.
In 2014, Kody divorced Meri to marry his “favorite” sister wife Robyn so he could adopt her three children.
Kody and Meri’s marriage was on the rocks for many years, as she has contemplated several times leaving the family on the TLC series.
In July 2021, she opened up on Instagram about the struggles that she has been going through.
“Ever had those days, those weeks, those months, when things just keep HAPPENING? Doesn’t matter how much you work, how much you push, how much you try, something else comes up. Sometimes it’s just life,” she captioned pictures on Instagram.
“Sometimes you have to just learn something. Sometimes you’re being fully manipulated and you know it. Don’t worry. Power stance is ON!”
While she did not reveal what struggles she is currently going through, she posted words of encouragement and a message about finding her way.
“I’m BRAVE, I’m STRONG, I’m COURAGEOUS, and I WILL do this! I will find MY tribe, the people who will STAND with me and not push against me. THOSE are the people that matter,” she said.
What happened with Meri and Kody Brown from Sister Wives?
Meri was the first wife Kody married. After being married for 30 years, the two split officially in 2014.
In the show, they went to couples counseling to try and mend their relationship.
“The relationship between he and I is gone, it’s dead, it’s over,” Meri revealed.
Kody claims that Meri deceived him into marrying her.
“I feel like I was deceived into a relationship that was very different than what I expected,” he said.
“Meri and I had a fast courtship with a lot of expectations and a lot of not communicating.”
“I didn’t know who I was marrying. As things unfolded, I started to become troubled and bitter by the situation I was in,” he concluded.
On January 10, 2023, Meri Brown took to social media to share an official joint statement about her divorce on Instagram saying: “In light of a recent unapproved press release, we feel compelled to share our own truth, in our own way, and in our own timing.
“After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our own unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently terminate our marriage relationship.”
The statement continued: “During this process, we are committed to kindness and respect toward each other and to all members of our family, and we are also committed to the continued healing of any and all relationships within the family so that we can move forward with forgiveness, grace, and love.”
The statement concluded: “In kindness, Meri and Kody.”
