“New Life Partner! Meri Finally Got Married! Kody is Shocked! Robyn is in the Hospital Car Accident!”
Meri Brown, a star of Sister Wives and the first wife of Kody Brown, has made a significant change in her life since her divorce from Kody in 2022. At 53 years old, Meri, who had been in a long, tumultuous marriage with Kody for over three decades, is ready to move forward. She was the first of Kody’s wives to face a breakup, and after years of heartache and neglect, Meri has found a new partner. Kody, now 55, had four wives and 18 children at his peak, but his once-thriving family was torn apart in recent years.
After Kody added two more wives to the family—Christine in 1994 and Janelle in 1993—he eventually married Robyn in 2010. Despite enduring emotional neglect over the years, Meri clung to the hope that her marriage to Kody could be saved. However, as Kody became increasingly distant, Meri came to terms with the reality that she would never again be truly married to him. After Christine and Janelle both left the family, following their own breakups with Kody, Meri decided it was time to walk away as well.
In the Sister Wives Season 19 finale, Meri and Kody shared a tearful goodbye. Although it appeared Kody’s tears were a sign of regret, it was revealed that he had actually intended to end their marriage for years. Meri found closure as she parted ways with Kody, and soon after, she took to Instagram to share a picture with a new mystery man. While she didn’t name him as her boyfriend, she called it a “Christmas miracle,” with her caption reading, “Life is good.” The man in the photo is Brandon Stone, a military veteran and father, and their connection has quickly captured the attention of her followers.
Meri’s fans were eager to see her find happiness, especially after she endured the emotional rollercoaster of her long marriage with Kody. She had previously tried to move on with Amos Andrews after her divorce, but their relationship ended in early 2024. Despite the briefness of her romance with Amos, Meri remained focused on her personal growth, launching a life coaching business and prioritizing her health and happiness.
After spending years living in Flagstaff, Arizona, Meri moved to Parowan, Utah, where she focused on her bed and breakfast, Lizzy’s Heritage Inn. There, she worked tirelessly to build a life for herself outside of Kody’s world. Fans have followed her journey, and though some have criticized her for holding onto the past, many are thrilled to see her moving forward and embracing new possibilities.
In the meantime, Kody has been dealing with his own issues. Fans of Sister Wives have been shocked by the recent developments in his life, particularly the sudden car accident that involved Robyn. Reports indicate that Robyn, who is still married to Kody, was hospitalized following the crash, adding another layer of drama to the already complicated family dynamic.
Meri’s decision to marry again is a bold step forward, and the family’s ongoing unraveling has left viewers with mixed emotions. Kody’s public statements about his past with Meri have not been well-received by fans, who have noted the hypocrisy in his portrayal of their marriage. His casual mention of intimate moments with Meri, while deeply hurtful to her, underscores the emotional distance that has defined their relationship in recent years.
As Meri embarks on this new chapter with Brandon, Kody remains in the shadow of his multiple failed marriages, unable to hold onto the relationships that once defined his life. Fans are left wondering if Meri’s new partner is truly the one to bring her happiness or if this will be another short-lived relationship in her quest to rebuild her life. Meanwhile, Robyn’s health scare adds even more tension to the already fractured family, leaving Sister Wives viewers eagerly anticipating what comes next for everyone involved.
