Ever since leaving her marriage behind her, Meri Brown — once the fiercely dedicated first wife from TLC’s blockbuster series Sister Wives — has been out and about shaking things up. For years, Meri was perceived as the least outspoken sister of the Brown family, but her new actions reveal a woman who has finally discovered independence from her husband.
Since her departure from Sister Wives, she has embarked on a path of self-discovery, relocating to Utah, managing her bed and breakfast, and possibly even diving into the dating scene. But while fans have been keenly watching her transformation, Meri herself seems to be handling things with humor and an easygoing attitude.
Recently, she took to social media to share a lighthearted meme about companionship, joking about finding someone "obsessed" with her—though, as the meme suggests, it might just be her beloved dog, Zona.
The post not only showcased her witty personality but also gave fans a glimpse into her current state of mind. Beyond social media, Meri’s life changes are signaling a woman redefining what happiness and fulfillment look like post-Sister Wives.
Meri Brown's life after Sister Wives
Since her official split from Kody Brown in January 2023, Meri has been focused on forging a new path. She relocated to Utah, where she took over the management of Lizzie’s Heritage Inn, a bed and breakfast that she managed with her mom from 2017.
The business, which she had originally started with her late mother, Bonnie, is currently undergoing renovations, signaling her commitment to preserving its legacy while adding her own touch.
In a reflective moment, Meri shared,
"Who I was does not dictate who I am and who I am becoming."
Meri has shared snippets of her daily life at the inn, from hosting guests to overseeing upgrades, and fans have praised her resilience. Though some question whether running the inn is her true passion, Meri appears determined to make the most of her independence.
Her move to Utah not only marks a physical relocation but also a symbolic shift—stepping away from a relationship where she felt neglected and choosing to take charge of her own happiness.
A lighthearted approach to finding love again
While many fans speculate about Meri’s romantic future, she herself doesn’t seem to be in any rush. Her recent meme about finding someone "obsessed" with her, possibly in the form of a dog, struck a chord with followers. The caption:
"Haha, I sure love my Zona! Who else has a fur baby obsessed with them??"
suggests that, for now, she’s content with the unwavering loyalty of her pet.

Meri’s post is just one example of how she’s using humor to navigate life after Sister Wives. While some may view it as a lighthearted joke, it also carries an undertone of self-acceptance.
For years, she struggled with feeling unseen and unappreciated in her marriage, but now she’s embracing the idea that happiness doesn’t have to come from a romantic relationship. Whether or not Meri pursues another relationship, she seems to be at peace with where she is right now.
Meri admitted:
"I would love to meet somebody just organically out in public, but I just don't know how to do that. It's really hard."
The side of Meri fans rarely got to see
One of the most unexpected aspects of Meri’s post-Sister Wives journey is how much of her true personality is coming through. Longtime viewers may recall that during her time in the Brown family, she often appeared guarded and serious. Now, with social media giving her a direct line to fans, Meri is showing off a much more fun, witty, and carefree side.
In different posts, she has included inside jokes with her friends, moments of self-reflection, even cheeky references to her past. Be it teasing her best friends or lampooning herself, she’s clearly shedding the expectation of fitting into a mold that’s outdated.
Watching this transformation is a breath of fresh air because it reminds us that leaving Kody was more than a dissolution of a marriage; it was a reclamation of her identity.
Meri Brown’s life after Sister Wives is shaping up to be one of transformation, self-discovery, and humor. Whether she’s managing her inn, sharing witty social media posts, or simply enjoying time with her dog, Meri is proving that there is life after marriage—and it can be just as fulfilling, if not more so.
While her future remains open-ended, one thing is certain: Meri Brown is no longer defined by her past, but rather by the choices she’s making now. Whether she finds love again, continues her entrepreneurial journey, or simply enjoys her newfound freedom, she is embracing life on her own terms. And that, in itself, is a powerful story of reinvention.
