Although Meri Brown was Kody's Brown's first wife, she and the Sister Wives patriarch have had many ups and downs through the years of the TLC series. Adding a fourth wife to the mix in Season 1 definitely added tension to the family. Meri getting catfished and then legally divorcing Kody so that he could legally marry Robyn and adopt her kids was rough, too. (And then there was the whole no-sex detail, which is kind of a big deal.)
After years of not having a "fully functional" marriage, Kody and Meri officially called it quits in January 2023. So, is Meri on the dating scene now?
Meri Brown from 'Sister Wives' hinted at having a "mystery man" in her life in December 2024.
Meri has taken her fans along as she navigates dating post-plural marriage. In December 2024, she posted a photo of her and someone she called her "mystery man."
"It's a Christmas miracle!" Meri wrote, adding the hashtags, "#MysteryMan #LifeIsGood."
The TLC star's post was met with several comments from fans wondering who the man was. However, soon after the post, we soon discovered Meri was trolling us with the same energy she gave Kody over spearmint gum.
Underneath Meri's comment, her male friend, Brandon Stone, confirmed he wasn't single. His girlfriend, who goes by @blondiebright on Instagram, staked her claim of him in the comments.
"Sorry all, the #mysteryman is mine and the most amazing boyfriend ever!" she said. "And yes, I agree with you all, he is 🔥🔥🔥."
Meri began dating a man named Amos in October 2023, but they have since broken up.
On her birthday (and one day before Kody's birthday, as it happens) in 2024, Meri took to Instagram to announce her new beau to the world and share a few photos of the two of them together. "Meet Amos, the good-looking guy I've been dating since October!" she said. "He's not 6 foot 6, nor is he a pilot, but he loves Christmas almost as much as I do, and we laugh a lot together, both of which are important elements to a relationship!"
Unfortunately, Amos and Meri's romance was short-lived. One month after she hard launched the relationship, she shared in February 2024 that they had broken up. That December, Meri told People that she and Amos "dated exclusively for a few months" but decided to call it quits when she realized they weren't compatible.
"He just wasn't my person," Meri explained to the outlet.
While Meri and Amos didn't work out, she hasn't given up on love. She revealed that she still has her toe in the dating pool, though she's treading lightly.
"Right now, I'm dating, not exclusively," Meri said. "But you date non-exclusively, and then you're like, 'Okay, I can focus on this person. Let's be exclusive.' And then, see if it works into something. That one just didn't. And so, we broke that off and now I'm dating non-exclusively."
'Sister Wives' fans want to see Meri Brown move on from Kody.
In January 2023, an Instagram Live during which Meri revealed she had a "friend" stay the night at her place prompted some raised eyebrows on Reddit. One user wrote, "She's tryna make Kody jealous🤣🤣."
Meanwhile, another Redditor commented, "I surely hope she is moving on and enjoying whatever company she has!"
Yet another person rooted for Meri to be dating after her split from Kody, writing: "I hope Meri discovers that she doesn't need K or any man to find her happiness. Be happy, get that bag, and live your life girl."
Meri Brown and Kody Brown publicly announced their split in January 2023.
On Jan. 10, 2023, Meri and Kody took to Instagram to post an update about their marriage.
“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,” the Sister Wives stars wrote in a joint statement. "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."
Now that Meri is officially matched-up again, we wish her (and Zona) the best!
