Meri Brown talks her relationship status with Kody Brown in a sneak peek of the upcoming season of ‘Sister Wives.’
Meri Brown, star of Sister Wives is recalling the tough times she had to endure during the pandemic and how it negatively affected her relationship to Kody Brown. “This is one of the things I like doing, kind of getting away from it all,” the 50-year-old said during a hike in Flagstaff, Arizona, for a sneak peek of the Dec. 19 episode of Sister Wives you can watch here. “We’ve got COVID going on, I’m running two businesses, we’re quarantining from each other.”
Meri, who is Kodi’s first wife, admitted that the family didn’t “really [spend] much time together” and it made things “weird.” During her confessional, she noted that it was “lonely” on her own, tearing up saying, “I just miss my family.”

My relationship with Meri is not the type of relationship where I’m going to talk to her every day.”
Then, speaking to the camera for a confessional, Meri revealed the details of where she and Kody currently stand. “Kody and I — we had a conversation recently, that kind of came down to, ‘We’re friends.’ Which I guess is a good thing,” she stated. “I guess I just have hope for more than that.”

The California native went on, speaking about their long-running relationship. “Kody has said some things to me more recently that leads me to believe that there’s no repairing our relationship. There are days when I get very, very discouraged. Then there are days that I have so much hope.” Despite the ups and downs of their union, Meri vows she will not leave the family, saying, “If I quit, if I walk away, it’s not going to get better.”
Kody previously noted the toll he and Meri’s divorce had taken on their continuing relationship over the years, nothing they had been in “a very dark place for a very long time” to Us Weekly this past February. “It’s been more about trying to get ourselves out of this hole that we dug ourselves into.”
