Sister Wives star Meri Brown is making changes on her social media after calling it quits with Kody. The 54-year-old has endured so much pain and neglect from her ex-husband, hoping that their relationship would get better. However, Kody ended up prioritizing Robyn over anyone. Kody’s marriages to Janelle, Meri, and Christine fell apart, leading to their departures. It also appears Meri is now getting rid of Kody from her life, including his last name in some ways. Keep reading to see why.
Sister Wives: Things Haven’t Been The Same Between Meri & Kody Brown
Meri and Kody’s relationship fell apart when they got divorced. Meri had to make the sacrifice so Kody could marry Robyn. However, it wasn’t the only issue the Sister Wives stars had. Kody began to lose interest in improving everything between them since her “catfish” incident. Meri stayed and tried her best to show loyalty to Kody. But he never looked at her efforts, openly admitting that he had fallen out of love with Meri a long time ago. Meri was upset about how Kody continued giving her false hope, only to end up being rejected. But Meri finally had enough in the latest season, which featured her official “release” from their church, which is considered a spiritual divorce.
Meri Finally Dumps Brown Last Name
Many fans have been wondering if Meri Brown will get rid of Kody’s last name now that they have separated. Recently, the Sister Wives star updated her IG profile, removing the Brown last name in her bio. Her profile tag still has the Brown, but it may be the next one to change now that Meri has officially ditched her ex-husband’s last name in her bio. Meri’s fan base only knows her as Meri Brown, but it is interesting that she is now just ‘Meri’ in her bio. Meri’s maiden name before she married Kody over 30 years ago was Barber.
Meri has previously stated that it is indeed difficult that she’s forever tied to Kody by having his last name online. But at the same time, it’s how people have known her over the years. She also said in an interview that she would never revert to her maiden name. Regardless, she’s still considering changing it, especially if she gets married again.
Sister Wives: How’s Meri Brown Today
Meri Brown has been thriving in life since her separation from Kody. She’s currently living in Utah and is making upgrades in her B&B business. The Sister Wives star has also been traveling and doing fun livestreams with her friend, Jenn, who has appeared numerous times in the latest season. She also welcomed a new nephew last month.
Meri moved back to Utah following her split from the polygamous marriage — and has re-entered the dating scene. “Prince Charming has not arrived. I’m not really looking for a prince,” she explained in an Instagram video in April 2024. “No, I’m looking for a king. There’s a bit of an energetic difference there. A prince is still a boy. I want a man who knows who he is.”
Recently, Meri announced a major life update by sharing an Instagram Story about her bed and breakfast business, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn. Meri has decided to resume renovations and posted a picture of the interior of her business, which featured a painted wall and wooden drawer cabinet. She mentioned, “Things are finally happening around here,” indicating that the renovations have started, and she is prepared to revamp her business. Although Meri didn’t disclose details about her plans for Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, she hinted she would be reopening it soon after temporarily shutting it down in August 2024.
