TLC’s reality drama show Sister Wives has kept fans captivated for the past 18 seasons, and now the drama has started to spill over into the stars’ real lives. Meri Brown, a longtime star of the show, is now opening up about her relationship with her ex-husband Kody and his current fourth wife, Robyn Brown.
Relationships may seem complicated because they are. The TLC show revolves around couples who live a life of polygamy and has successfully run for 18 seasons since its debut in 2010. While fans sometimes forget that the people on the show are in real relationships, the off-air drama also brings a twist to real life.
Fans were shocked when Meri Brown decided to separate from her ex-husband Kody Brown in 2023 after 32 years of marriage. Meri is now opening up about her current relationship with Robyn Brown, with whom she was very close at one point.

Meri Brown on relationship with Robyn and Kody Brown
Reality show star Sarah Fraser sat down for an interview on the show. During the deep and emotional conversation, the host raised the question of how Meri’s relationship is with Kody and Robyn now and whether she was happy or sad to see him leave. To this, Brown responded, “I don’t know. I don’t know; I think she wanted me to stay. I think she was sad. I think she had that idea when she came into this big plural family. I really think so”.
But it didn’t end there; Meri also felt that neither Robyn nor Kody’s behavior “matched up.” Brown felt there was a lot of confusion, and that was all she wanted to say.
When asked if she still keeps in touch with Kody Brown or Robyn, she said, “I’ve seen them occasionally and talked and messaged a little bit, but it’s not like, you know, I’m in this place where I’m moving on in my life.” She also said that, although she is in touch with her sister-wives, she is not actively contacting them.

Meri’s breakup with Kody was a climactic event; in addition to Meri, he also broke up with his other two wives. Robyn Brown spoke to People about how she is handling the transition from being a sister wife to now being committed solely to Kody Brown.
Christine Brown left Kody in 2021, followed by Janelle Brown in December 2022, and Meri shortly after that. “It’s been hell,” Robyn said, commenting on her husband’s reaction to the three consecutive breakups. “He has tried to harm himself and us on multiple occasions.
I had to work hard not to give in to that.” He also said that getting out of relationships feels like a failure. However, Kody Brown mentioned that he makes an effort to be friends with everyone for the sake of his kids.
