Sister Wives’ Meri Brown Sheds Light on ‘Nonexistent’ Relationship With Christine: We ‘Don’t Align’
Meri Brown has different types of relationships with her former sister wives, identifying Christine Brown as the one she’s heard from least.
Meri, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, December 10, that she’d describe her friendship with Sister Wives costar Christine, 52, as “nonexistent” after they each split from husband Kody Brown.
“I wish her all the best. We have had a lot of life together. We’ve had a lot of fun in our past, but our paths just don’t align right now,” Meri explained. “They may crisscross here and there throughout our lives [but] we’re not living parallel lives anymore.”
As Kody’s first wife, Meri has had varying relationships with all of his wives past and present. Meri and Kody, 55, wed in 1990 before expanding their family with Janelle Brown in 1993 and Christine in 1994.
The polygamist family faced a big change in 2014 when Kody legally divorced Meri and legally married fourth wife Robyn Brown. At the time, he also adopted her three children from a past marriage.
While Meri remained in a spiritual union with Kody for nearly another decade, the family began to fracture in 2021 when Christine announced her divorce from the patriarch. Janelle, 55, revealed in December 2022 that she had separated from Kody, while Meri waited until January 2023 to confirm her own split.
Sister Wives fans have been privy to the ups and downs that have followed the breakups, including Christine getting married in October 2023 to David Woolley. Janelle and her kids were all invited to the nuptials as was Meri’s child, Leon, but she was not on the guest list.
Where Do Kody Brown’s Sister Wives Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn Stand With Each Other?
“It was totally fine. I think that weddings you need to just have the people around you that you are most comfortable with, and I wasn’t that for her, and I’m totally fine with that,” Meri told Us of the snub. “I think that both of us have probably really just embraced the fact that this is where we are in our lives and we wish each other the best. I know that she does the same for me.”
Meri, who moved from Arizona to Utah after her marriage was terminated by the church, insisted that she hopes Christine is “living her best life,” but reiterated that their worlds “don’t cross” at the moment.
Meri noted that she does “talk to Janelle on occasion,” calling their interactions “cordial” and “decent.” She added, “I’m happy with how that is.”
