Sister Wives fans think they’ve figured out real ‘classy’ reason Meri Brown kept new boyfriend a secret for months
FANS have claimed that they know the real reason that Meri Brown decided to keep her boyfriend a secret for months.
Earlier this week, the Sister Wives star hard-launched her partner Amos on social media in celebration of her 53rd birthday.
FAN THEORIES
Fans took to Reddit shortly after to discuss Meri’s newfound relationship and the timing of her reveal.
Some claimed that the TV personality purposefully waited until her former sister wife, Christine Brown’s TLC wedding special concluded.
“Meri is such a class act for waiting until the wedding episode aired before announcing her new boyfriend,” one wrote.
“She’s been in a relationship since October 2023 and wow I am so happy for her.
“Love how she gave Christine her moment to shine now it’s time for Meri’s moment yayyyy!!! She deserves to be loved finally!” they surmised.
“YES!! Some one the other day said that they wouldn’t be surprised if she waited until after Christine’s wedding aired. GOOD FOR HER,” a second agreed.
“I honestly think Meri is really trying to put the negative behind her and would love a positive relationship with Christine and Janelle moving forward also with the kids,” a third remarked.
“I’m so happy for her. It’s her birthday, and she’s allowed to do what she wants! Especially if she wants to announce she’s happily in a relationship.
“She did wait, but Christine’s wedding was last October, so we’ve been talking about it for almost 4 months now! I think other people in and around the family can do what they please!” a fourth mentioned.
“Out of all of them Meri is the classiest, she just gets it. Janelle is up there with Meri,” a fifth gushed.
“I was thinking the same thing. She probably wanted to shout it from the rooftops that she’s happy now and everyone can stop worrying about her. But she didn’t want to take away from Christine’s moment,” a final agreed.
MERI IN LOVE
Meri dedicated her 53rd birthday post on Instagram this week to her new beau Amos, letting her fans know how much she is in love.
The reality star kept her secret boyfriend under wraps until yesterday when she took to social media to share selfies alongside her new man.
Two of the snaps in her carousel post captured the pair side-hugging each other.
In one, they appeared to be cozy in the house together, while in the other, they were bundled up as they smiled in the icy outdoors.
Meri’s dog Zona wasn’t excluded from her photo dump, making a full appearance in the last slide of the social media show, which showed the couple in the park.
They squatted to Zona’s level, so the pooch was included in the couple’s snap.
Meri, whose birthday is on January 16, revealed that she was looking forward to her 53rd year in her post’s caption.
“Birthday #53 is looking a bit different for me this year, and might I say, I like how it looks,” she wrote.
“Meet Amos, the good looking guy I’ve been dating since October! He’s not 6 foot 6, nor is he a pilot, but he loves Christmas almost as much as I do, and we laugh a lot together, both of which are important elements to a relationship!”
She added that Zona loved him.
UNDER WRAPS
Meri revealed that she was keeping Amos a secret because she wanted to get to know him and enjoy their dating phase.
“I’ve been keeping this kind of close to me as we’ve been enjoying the last few months of dating and getting to know each other,” she disclosed.
Meri continued, “As I’ve considered when and how I wanted to share this fun news and share him with the world (jk, not really sharing, I’m keeping him to myself)
“I knew I wanted to celebrate my birthday in a special way and let you celebrate this with me!”
The TV star admitted that 2024 was off “to a great start” and that she couldn’t wait to “share more news” with her supporters at the end of her caption.
Meri’s news followed her former sister wife Christine’s fairytale wedding special on TLC.
The episodes aired on January 7 and January 14 and included all the excitement from the event which originally took place in October.
