Meri Brown, known for her role in the reality series “Sister Wives,” recently opened up about her experiences in the dating world since announcing the end of her 32-year marriage to Kody Brown in December 2022. During a recent episode of the show aired on October 25, Brown revealed that she receives marriage proposals on a weekly basis from strangers.

The 55-year-old reality star shared her unexpected situation, explaining that her social media platforms are inundated with messages from individuals expressing interest in her, often suggesting a desire for her to consider joining a plural marriage. “I’ve had all kinds,” Meri stated, detailing the diverse approaches she receives. This includes messages from couples, like one woman who contacted Meri stating that both she and her husband would be interested in including Meri in their family dynamics.
Meri described the phenomenon as “the weirdest thing,” emphasising the frequency of these proposals. The attention has been surprising, particularly given that she is navigating her own transition into the dating realm following her split from Kody. The couple shares a son, Leon, who is now 31.
Last year, during an episode from the series’ twentieth season, Meri participated in a speed dating event where she met a man named Ron. Their initial interaction was positive, with Meri noting shared interests and physical attraction. “He likes dogs, he likes to travel, and he’s 6 feet tall and he’s handsome,” she said with a smile. Ron also expressed intrigue towards Meri, highlighting her striking appearance and communication skills.
In a special segment of “Sister Wives,” Meri later admitted that she was content with her relationship with Ron, describing him as a “really cool guy” who makes her feel at ease. Their growing friendship was a significant focus, with Meri expressing a sense of freedom to be her authentic self around him.
More recently, during a gathering with friends showcased in the show on October 11, Meri candidly discussed the status of her relationship with Ron, stating that they are currently “comfortable in the friend zone.” Both are taking the time to understand what they individually seek from their connections, especially after their lengthy marriages. Meri noted, “We’re just individually trying to figure out what we want.”
Reflecting on her journey since separating from Kody, Meri has taken proactive steps to understand her desires in a romantic partner. She describes her ideal match as someone who is open to conversation and embodies kindness. Interestingly, she mentioned that she does not have a specific physical type, allowing for a broader spectrum in her dating pursuits.
In a heartfelt confession, Meri expressed a desire for her future partner to celebrate her, particularly on her birthdays, which she feels have not been adequately acknowledged in the past. “He better plan on celebrating me, like, every single birthday,” she insisted, highlighting the importance of feeling valued and special.
As Meri moves forward in her life post-divorce, she appears to be embracing the complexities of dating with openness and a sense of humour. Her candidness on “Sister Wives” not only lays bare her personal challenges but also reflects the evolving nature of relationships in modern times.
“Sister Wives” is currently airing, providing viewers insights into Meri’s life and the dynamics within her family. The show continues to explore the realities of plural marriages and the individual journeys of its cast members. For those intrigued by Meri’s developing story, new episodes of “Sister Wives” are broadcast on Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
