Meri Brown’s life-changing decision to slowly separate herself from her former family could change the direction of Sister Wives entirely. Meri, once Kody’s first wife, legally ended their marriage so he could wed Robyn, though she stayed involved in the family dynamic for years before finally walking away. Despite their split, Meri has remained a visible figure in the public eye. The departure of Meri, Janelle, and Christine significantly shifted the tone of Sister Wives. Still, the tragic loss of Garrison is expected to bring an even deeper emotional impact to season 19.
Apart from dealing with the tragedy of Garrison’s sudden death, Meri always seemed to have a trace of sorrow on her face. Kody and Meri were never a good match to begin with. Love was absent in their marriage, and Kody’s belief in having a polygamous family further tore them apart. Meri was lonely and looking for a companion when she fell for a catfish, which destroyed her. The incident left a scar on Meri’s emotional and physical health. However, the Sister Wives star is beginning to heal now.

Meri Hasn't Reacted To The Coyote Pass Land Redivision
Meri Prefers To Maintain Her Silence
Meri Brown has remained silent regarding Kody Brown’s recent decision to redistribute the Coyote Pass land, though Janelle Brown has shown approval of the change. In the past, both women voiced concerns about the original layout and the possibility of selling parts of the property. However, this new arrangement signaled progress toward fairer land ownership. Redefining boundaries finally allows Meri to distance herself from Kody and Robyn, both legally and emotionally. The division could mark a turning point, reducing tension and giving the women greater control over their stake in the shared land.
Reddit users have shared updates suggesting Meri and Janelle have sold the Coyote Pass parcel they once planned to build on. A screenshot posted by Sunnyjulie99 from a Zillow listing, along with another shared by Asoakes1, supports this speculation. It appears the land was sold off-market, as Sunnyjulie99 noted, "Zillow doesn’t show it was listed for sale, just that it sold on 4/14." With the sale finalized, it clears the path for Meri to focus on building her new chapter independently in Utah.
