What’s the truth aboutKody Brown’s relationship with Meri Brown fromSister Wives?
And on TLC’sSister Wives,that couldn’t be more true.
There’s jealousy, financial issues, issues with children, and housing concerns.
Well, sort of.
And for a while, Meri didn’t have to worry about anyone else but herself and Kody.
So perhaps they both knew that would be a possibility for them down the road.
Still, Meri and Kody had averyfast courtship.
According toABC News,Meri explained that not long after meeting, things between her and Kody got serious.
Meri already secured her position as Kody’s first wife, though.
But just when she had given up, she got a positive pregnancy test.
“We had an appointment at the doctor to hear the heartbeat.
And I was at about 10 weeks.
And we were so excited.
And we went in and they couldn’t hear the heartbeat,” she sadly recalled.
Additionally, although Christine thought she’d be Kody’s last wife, Meri and Kody had other plans.
According to the TLC website, Robyn first met Kody and Meri in 2009.
So really, it was love at first sight.
While that was happening, Meri and Robyn got extremely close.
Kody, on the other hand, wanted to break the stereotypes about polygamy.
And while it wasn’t an easy choice, it was the right one.
On an episode ofSister Wives,the couple argued about the decision.
“I would do it if nature just did it,” Kody explained (viaToday).
“But because of the stakes, I’m not burning in my gut to do it.
You know what I’m saying?
I say no.”
“It just is what it is.”
That was certainly a test of their relationship.
For most of their marriage, that wife was Meri Brown, as she was Kody’s first wife.
And that wasn’t easy for her.
“I’m realizing now that while that divorce process was really hard…
I feel like I’ve dealt with it enough that I can see a bigger picture.”
“I just have to laugh about it because it feels so stupid to me,” she confessed.
AsThe Sunreported, one of Kody and Meri’s therapy sessions onSister Wiveswasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows.
“Meri mourns the loss of what we had…
I regret what we had,” Kody said.
Meri, for her part, also stated that she wasn’t happy in their marriage at the moment.
“I want a relationship with him.”
Kody also insisted that the location was an issue.
heasked Meri, and she told him no.
“This is my baby,” Meri countered.
“I want to run my own business my way.”
Sadly, Kody turned town Meri’s request for a loan and she had to earn the money herself.
However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
At least, it wasn’t for a while.
“How sweet was that?!”
Meri also marveled at the fact that their spark was still alive.
“28 years and still here,” she added.
“I’m jaded, I guess.
I just don’t see plural marriage in the same light that I used to.”
“I didn’t know who I was marrying.
As things unfolded, I started to become troubled and bitter by the situation I was in.”
Ouch, that’s not what you want.
Specifically, in one of the voicemails, Meri said, “You want me.
I just do.”
It definitely sounds like Meri had fallen in love with someone who was decidedlynotKody Brown.
However, in 2020, all that changed when the pair spent alotmore time apart.
“Um, that’s pretty intense, though it doesn’t necessarily mean she was referring to Kody.
Additionally, Mykelti added that she wasn’t too informed about Kody and Meri’s relationship.
“I don’t know their personal life,” she admitted.
Mykelti also added that she knew there was some housing drama, but not much else.
After all, they literally talk about their marital struggles on national television.
In anInstagrampost, Meri denied that she and Kody were on the rocks, or headed for breakup.
“But here’s my truth.
I love my family.
I have 30 years in this.
We repair relationships as the parties involved are willing and able.”
