When did Sister Wives star Meri leave the Brown family?
Meri officially left Kody and is back in Utah as of June of 2021 working on reopening her bed and breakfast.
She posted the photo from her business, Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, and captioned it: “After being closed for two months since the passing of my sweet mom, today we welcome our first guests to the B&B and are back open for business.”
Over the last few weeks, Meri admitted that she has spent a lot of time both crying and smiling as she thought of different things that she wished she could have told her mom Bonnie Ahlstrom.
Kody and his four wives moved from Utah in 2011 in order to escape the state’s strict anti-polygamy laws, but Meri often returns to the state for extended periods of time to run her inn.

She claims to be focused on making everything perfect at her bed and breakfast to ensure “the guests want to make return trips.”
Are Meri Brown and Kody Brown still together?
Meri and Kody have not been together since 2014, as their 30-year marriage crumbled since he wed Robyn.
In April of 2021, Meri demanded an “apology” and “accountability” as Kody snubbed his wives for his “favorite” Robyn last month.
In the show, they went to couples counseling to try and mend their relationship.
“The relationship between him and I is gone, it’s dead, it’s over,” Meri revealed.
Kody claimed that Meri deceived him into marrying her.
“I feel like I was deceived into a relationship that was very different than what I expected,” he said.

“I didn’t know who I was marrying. As things unfolded, I started to become troubled and bitter by the situation I was in,” he concluded.
On January 10, 2023, Meri Brown took to social media to share an official joint statement about her divorce on Instagram saying: “In light of a recent unapproved press release, we feel compelled to share our own truth, in our own way, and in our own timing.
“After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our own unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently terminate our marriage relationship.”
The statement continued: “During this process, we are committed to kindness and respect toward each other and to all members of our family, and we are also committed to the continued healing of any and all relationships within the family so that we can move forward with forgiveness, grace, and love.”
The statement concluded: “In kindness, Meri and Kody.”
Kody and Meri share one son Leon, who came out as a transgender man in 2022.
Leon, who was formerly known as Mariah, was the family’s openly gay daughter.
On social media, Leon is an advocate for social issues including, Black Lives Matter, and LGBTQ+ equality.
He also seems to be into yoga and nature as there are multiple pictures and videos on his account related to the topics.
What have the couple said about their relationship?
Meri admitted their marriage was “pretty rocky for a while” as Kody mentioned he “regretted” their relationship.
She has contemplated several times leaving the family on the TLC series but had remained a “spiritual wife” of Kody.
In July 2021, she opened up on Instagram about the struggles that she has been going through.
“Ever had those days, those weeks, those months, when things just keep HAPPENING? Doesn’t matter how much you work, how much you push, how much you try, something else comes up. Sometimes it’s just life,” she captioned a picture on Instagram.
“Sometimes you have to just learn something. Sometimes you’re being fully manipulated and you know it. Don’t worry. Power stance is ON!”
While she did not reveal what struggles she is currently going through, she posted words of encouragement and a message about finding her way.
“I’m BRAVE, I’m STRONG, I’m COURAGEOUS, and I WILL do this! I will find MY tribe, the people who will STAND with me and not push against me. THOSE are the people that matter,” she said.
