LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: On 'The Sarah Fraser' show, ‘Sister Wives’ star Meri Brown addressed rumors about a possible reconciliation with her estranged husband, Kody Brown.  With a touch of sarcasm, Meri remarked, "Oh my god, I see that all the time. Promise, that was never gonna happen."

She then playfully addressed the speculation by singing Taylor Swift’s hit song 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' reinforcing her stance in a light-hearted manner. This amusing moment had the host laughing uncontrollably.

Meri and Kody Brown’s relationship began in the early 1990s when they married in 1990. Meri was Kody's first wife in a polygamous family, and she was part of his "spiritual" marriages to his other wives.

In 2014, Meri and Kody legally divorced to allow Kody to marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, so he could adopt her children. Despite the legal divorce, Meri and Kody remained "spiritually married" for several years. Their relationship, however, suffered significantly after Meri's 2015 catfishing scandal, which led to increased distance and estrangement between them.

By early 2023, the couple decided to end their marriage permanently. Their separation had been apparent for years, marked by a lack of intimacy and Kody's comments indicating that he no longer considered himself married to Meri.

‘Sister Wives’ star Meri Brown talks about 'trust' post-split with Kody Brown

Following her split from Kody Brown, Meri Brown took to TikTok to discuss the concept of trust, both in relationships and within oneself. In her video, Meri explored how trust relies on transparency and consistency over time, while also emphasizing the critical importance of self-trust.

Meri said, “Trust is transparency and consistency over time.” She reflected on how this principle applies not just to building trust with others but also to trusting oneself. She admitted having difficulty trusting her own instincts and often rationalizing situations instead of listening to her gut feelings. I will tend to rationalize the reason I should trust myself in a certain situation, and really my gut knows.” 

Meri concluded by urging people to be courageous and authentic with themselves, noting that embracing self-trust ultimately leads to greater personal empowerment. “It’s almost about having the courage to be true and authentic to myself, to be able to do and say the things that I know that I need to do,” she advised.
