Meri Brown, known for her role in the reality TV show “Sister Wives,” recently made headlines when she announced her split from Kody Brown in January 2023. However, it seems that Meri may be moving on from more than just her marital status. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a photo of a Christmas ornament that has led fans to speculate about her new identity.
At 52 years old, Meri had been married to Kody since 1990, making her the first legal wife in Kody’s polygamist family. Over the years, Kody went on to marry Janelle Brown and Christien Brown in spiritual ceremonies in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Despite the unconventional nature of their relationship, the family managed to stay together for almost 13 years.
However, things took a turn when Robyn Brown entered the picture. Kody legally divorced Meri to marry Robyn, which changed the dynamics of their family. Throughout this challenging period, Meri found herself involved in an emotional affair in 2015, despite still being spiritually married to Kody.
Now, with the recent post of a Christmas ornament, fans are speculating that Meri may be taking a significant step by dropping Kody’s last name from her own. If this is true, Meri will become the first ex-wife in the Brown family to make such a change, subtly signaling her independence and a fresh chapter in her life.
As fans eagerly watch for any hints or updates, it remains to be seen what lies ahead for Meri Brown. One thing is for sure, though – she is ready to embrace her own identity and explore new possibilities.
Meri and Kody’s romantic relationship took a sharp decline when their affair was uncovered by an individual who turned out to be a catfish. The final blow came in January 2023, when Meri herself confirmed the truth on her Instagram account.
Meanwhile, Meri seems to have made a significant change as indicated on her Instagram. She shared a photo of a Christmas ornament, originally posted by a Reddit user named u/natalathea. The ornament featured a postcard-like design with the words “Merry Christmas” on one side. However, it also included a specific request for “pink white sparkly countertops with rounded edges” and a new best friend. The ornament was signed as “Meri Caroline Davenport” and addressed to none other than “Santa Claus” at the North Pole.
This development raises questions about Meri’s current romantic status. Could she be dating someone new after the conclusion of Sister Wives Season 18?
Another intriguing aspect of the post was Meri’s clever caption underneath the photo, where she mentioned receiving her favorite new ornament from her forever best friend, Jenn Sullivan. Fans of the show Sister Wives, like justlurkingihope, couldn’t help but comment on how much they loved the name “Meri Davenport,” considering “Meri Brown” to be a bit plain and unexciting. Crazy_Newspaper4583 expressed the hope that Janelle, another cast member, would also change her last name, emphasizing the power in a name change. On a more curious note, Relevant_Current_870 speculated whether Meri had secretly remarried without anyone’s knowledge.
Interestingly enough, recent reports from TheSun have sparked rumors of a new romance in Meri’s life. During a festive weekend getaway with family and friends, Meri was accompanied by a man named Blair Struble. The publication revealed that Blair is not only a friend of Meri’s, but also her personal interior designer. They shared several selfies together inside a holiday-themed cabin, where they enjoyed the company of some adorable goats. Meri expressed her delight in her caption, describing the weekend as full of joy and magic, thanks to Blair’s love for all things Christmas. It is worth mentioning that Blair had previously assisted Meri in transforming Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, her bed and breakfast in Utah, into a haunted house for Halloween. Meri had proudly shared photos of herself posing with Blair and a life-sized skeleton, showcasing their creative collaboration.
Meri initially received support from Kody following the catfishing scandal, but his feelings towards her eventually changed. In an attempt to mend their relationship, the couple sought therapy while residing in Nevada. Unfortunately, their move from Las Vegas to Flagstaff only exacerbated their issues, leading Kody to no longer consider Meri as his wife. Nonetheless, Meri has begun the process of moving forward and healing from the years of damage caused by their relationship. As a symbol of her personal growth, she has made small changes, such as dyeing her hair a vibrant auburn shade. However, if Meri has indeed changed her last name, it could be considered the most significant transformation that the beloved star of “Sister Wives” has undertaken.
