Fans of SISTER WIVES respond to Robyn Brown’s claim that her husband Kody and sister wife Meri can overcome their communication issues. On the TLC series, Kody, 54, and his spiritual marriages with Meri, 52, and Janelle, 54, are currently on an emotional roller coaster.
In order to be closer to her bed and breakfast, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, Meri has relocated her clothes company, LuLaRoe, up to Utah. She had told Robyn in one episode that she would continue to live nearby her and Kody but would spend more time at her B&B. Meri discusses her relationship with her best friend, Jenn Sullivan, where she stands with Robyn and Kody, and more in a new sneak peek for tonight’s episode.
“I don’t allow myself to just let loose and have a lot of fun because I don’t have that trust, you know, Jenn and I have that trust with each other … I don’t have that with other members of my family,” she revealed in a confessional.
THEIR ‘DISTANT’ RELATIONSHIP
Then, Kody was interviewed and revealed that his and Meri’s relationship was “distant” and that he doesn’t see her very often. In Robyn’s confessional, she said: “If Meri just sticks around long enough and we get through what’s going on with Christine and even Kody and Janelle figure out what they’re gonna do and he can get through all of his anger and emotions about everything, that they will have a chance to work it out.”
‘IT’S KINDA COOL’
The video then cuts to a clip of Meri and Jenn discussing their friendship and the relationship she has with Jenn’s husband. She revealed that Jenn’s husband is “awesome” and is extremely helpful and “supportive.”
“He does things for me,” the TV personality said, “[He] washes my car and he does these little things that a guy normally would do for his wife and he does it for his wife, and by default he does it for her best friend it’s kinda cool. Don’t go weird!”
FANS REACT
The clip was shared on the official Sister Wives Facebook page and fans shared their thoughts on Meri’s relationship with Kody.
“I’m glad Meri has people in her life who value her and treat her special. That’s all she ever needed from Kody,” one wrote.
A second said: “I think that is sweet and thoughtful that Jen’s husband washed Meri’s car for her. My husband doesn’t even wash my car!”
“I hope she finds someone to make her truly happy. Its sad to see .. almost pitiful sometimes,” commented a third.
MERI’S ANNOUNCEMENT
As early as 2020, Meri posted cryptic statements on social media and took off her wedding ring, sparking rumors that the couple was experiencing problems. Meri and Kody officially announced their divorce on January 10, 2023. The statement read: “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.” However, in a new interview, Kody claimed that his spiritual marriage to Meri started to end years ago.
“We started a breakup seven years ago and have been going through just a process of trying to figure out what to do,” Kody told Us Weekly.
