FLAGSTAFF ARIZONA: After Meri Brown of 'Sister Wives' star mentioned her new partner Amos Andrews on social media, her fans have been eagerly seeking information about him.

As reported by In Touch Amos seems to have considerable experience in the realm of love, having been married four times before.

Amos Andrews, a resident of Utah, first married Tracey Ann Smith Lang, but they separated in 1998. Subsequently, he tied the knot with Shannon Marie Martin, but their marriage was short-lived and ended in 2000.

Amos went on to marry Christine Andrews, but their union ended in divorce in 2004. In 2016, he married Jennifer Carol Andrews, but they also parted ways in 2021.

While it remains unclear why Amos' previous marriages didn't work out, it appears that he has finally found the love of his life in Meri.

Did Meri Brown's partner Amos Andrew file for bankruptcy?

In a recent interview with In Touch Meri Brown confirmed that he had experienced financial difficulties in the past.

On May 8, 2000, Amos filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Phoenix, Arizona. Shannon Marie Martin, his wife at the time, was named as a co-petitioner in the filing. 

The case was ultimately closed on September 26, 2000, with Shannon being discharged on September 8th of the same year.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which is commonly referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, requires an individual to sell their property to satisfy their creditors according to court rules.

When did Sister Wives' alum Kody Brown split with Meri Brown?

Kody Brown parted ways as a result of differing viewpoints regarding their polygamist union, which they entered when Meri was a mere 19 years old.

Meri admitted that her envy led to a rift between her and Kody.

Kody's devotion to his other wives, Robyn, Christine, and Janelle, created insecurities within their relationship, leading to Christine's departure in November 2021, and Janelle's in December 2021.

Kody became increasingly distant from Meri in the years that followed, resulting in their disassociation from one another in 2021. 

Finally, in January 2023, the couple confirmed the termination of their spiritual marriage on Instagram, stating, "After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our unique ways, we have decided to permanently terminate our marriage."

Meri and Kody Brown were legally married in 1990, however, their legal separation occurred in 2014, but they remained spiritually married until January 2023.
