'Seeking Sister Wife' Stars Dannielle and Garrick Quietly Welcomed Baby No. 3 — Are They Still With Nathalia?

TLC's hit series Seeking Sister Wife first introduced viewers to husband and wife Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield in Season 3. At the time, Garrick and Dannielle were pursuing their potential sister wife Roberta, but unfortunately, things did not work out. But by Season 5, the Merrifields had their eyes on a new wife, Nathalia. But little did fans know that their family was also growing.

Below, we unpack Garrick and Dannielle's current relationship status and why they ended things with Roberta. But first, we've got the latest update on Garrick and Danielle's family! They quietly welcomed their first daughter Leia Lilly Melisa back in 2023.

During the April 22 episode of Season 5 of Seeking Sister Wives, Dannielle and Garrick revealed they were expecting their third baby together. The day after the episode aired, they surprised fans by revealing that their third child had been born last year and they had been keeping it a secret for almost a year.

Dannielle and Garrick exclusively told People that their baby daughter Leia Lilly Melisa Merrifield, was born on May 17, 2023.

"Leia is such a personality. She is very particular with what she likes and doesn't like," the couple told the outlet. "She makes us all laugh. She is super independent and has been since birth. I prayed she would have her daddy's beautiful blue eyes and she does."

Dannielle and Garrick are also parents to two sons Geremiah Thomas and Solomon. Dannielle gave birth to Geremiah she was 21 years old, while she was 35 when she got pregnant with Leia.

Garrick and Dannielle are no longer believed to be with Nathalia.

In Season 5 of Seeking Sister Wife, the Merrifields began pursuing a young Brazilian native named Nathalia. But while Dannielle started having reservations, Garrick wanted to continue at full speed. At one point, Dannielle and Nathalia even teamed up against Garrick after he lied about deleting his dating apps. Dannielle and Garrick were truly on different pages during this latest installment.

But over on Reddit, folks are speculating that Nathalia is no longer in the picture — and has become an attorney.

"Way to go Nathalia! Getting away from the Ick [Garrick] and getting her law license!" wrote one fan.

When we first met Garrick and Dannielle in Season 3, they were married for almost 13 years, but around the time they hit the 11 year mark, they started to experiment with the plural lifestyle. They explained they were Christians who turned to polygamy in a bid to get closer to God. They believed in the Bible and said multiple people in the Bible had multiple wives. That's where Roberta came into the picture.

But introducing Roberta to their family did come with unexpected legal challenges, leaving Dannielle and Garrick with no choice but to opt for divorce if they wanted to live with her in their home city of Buena Vista, Colo. Since she was originally from Brazil, Roberta would have been unable to join the family if the option of marrying Garrick had been completely off the table. That way, she could apply for a K-1 visa.

"I can see how people would think 'That's insane and crazy,'" Dannielle explained at one point on the show. "I have only met Roberta for nine days in one year, so I barely know her in that sense. And there's also the part that's like, that marriage certificate that's in my filing cabinet at home, 'Does it mean anything?'"

But over time, things seemed to fizzle out. When Season 4 of Seeking Sister Wife premiered in June of 2022, fans learned that Garrick and Dannielle hadn't seen Roberta in over a year. Although Roberta's visa to come to the U.S. was approved, her mother had been dealing with health issues that impeded her ability to leave Brazil.

They began dating other women in the meantime, including Lea — a nurse from California who was raised in a polygamous family. Things hadn't officially ended between them and Roberta though, as they were trying to bring an additional wife into the relationship.

However, Roberta had asked the couple to wait for her before they explored bringing in even newer sister wives. And the trust was broken when she learned that Garrick had kissed a potential new wife during a trip to Brazil.

Though Roberta booked her flight to be with them, she caught them off guard by sending a bombshell breakup text message, saying that she "can't feel the same as before" and that she was "left feeling excluded, feeling like nothing.”

Garrick and Dannielle expressed being heartbroken, and felt they'd been scammed out of money by Roberta.

So, will Garrick and Dannielle start dating someone new? Only time will tell. New episodes of Seeking Sister Wife Season 5 air on Mondays at 9 p.m. on TLC.
