Three out of four of Kody Brown’s marriages have gone down the pan. Now, Sister Wives season 19 is here and the show is set to follow the polygamous family as they navigate their new dynamics. As Meri and Kody’s relationship looks to hit new lows, a snippet from season 2 of the show highlights what she left behind for love.
During Sister Wives season 19, Meri Brown “wants to find a man,” and she “doesn’t want to take sides.” This comes after the Sister Wives star is seen telling Kody how she wishes he’d ended things with her earlier rather than staying married over 30 years.
Sister Wives marriage lasted decades
Just as the name suggests, TLC show Sister Wives is centered around the polygamous Brown family.
Season 19 arrives on Sunday, September 15. The all-new episodes see Kody and Meri saying they’re “officially done.” She says: “I’m not joking… our marriage is over.”
Kody is seen asking himself “what he did to deserve this” during the season 19 trailer.
For Kody, “marrying the wrong person sucks,” but his now ex-wife chimes back: “What sucks is marrying the wrong person and not having the decency to tell her until 32 years later.”
The Browns’ dynamics have totally switched up since the show first began. Now, Meri is reflecting on how she and Kody “started this family,” but she agrees she hasn’t seen her ex “try for years.”
Meri ‘lost her job’
Meri is referred to as “Wife #1” during Sister Wives’ early seasons.
She and Kody got married in 1990. In 2014, the two divorced so that Kody could marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown.
Although they were no longer married by law, the two remained spiritually married. They parted ways in January 2023 and now fans are seeing the TLC stars’ split in the all-new episodes.
Meri can be seen telling Kody she wished he’d told her he wasn’t in on their marriage years earlier.
It turns out, from clips of season 2 of the show, that Meri lost her job because of her polygamous marriage.
She tells the cameras: “I had this great job that I loved. About the time that we became public, management said that they were going to release me from my position. I’m not a bad person, I just have sister wives and I get fired for it.”
She continued: “I think that what we’re doing is a good thing…
“It has the potential of splitting up our family… but I would choose this again.”
Nowadays, Meri takes to Instagram to say she’s “Embracing life and all its experiences is what makes life good!”
Despite losing the “job she loved” back in the day, she’s now booked and busy by the looks of her social media.
She details the various avenues she opts for to earn a living in her IG bio: “TV Personality, entrepreneur, Worthy Up/Lizzie’s Heritage Inn/Online Clothing, Boutique NY Times best selling author.”
She’s loving life with her adopted pup, Zona, and writes on the ‘gram: “My sidekick, my buddy, my love. It’s not even been 8 months that I’ve had her, and it’s hard to remember life before her!”
