PAROWAN, UTAH: 'Sister Wives' star Meri Brown is confidently embracing her life as a single woman following her confirmed split from ex-husband Kody Brown in December 2022. After over two decades of marriage, the couple, who share a 27-year-old child named Leon Brown, went their separate ways. Recently, Kody has faced criticism for his parenting, even from his own daughter Gwendlyn Brown in a YouTube video.

On Father's Day, Meri posted a cryptic tribute, subtly throwing shade at Kody. While she didn't explicitly mention him, the omission spoke volumes, especially considering they have a child together. It's clear that her intentions were deliberate, leaving room for speculation about her sentiments towards her ex-husband.

'Sister Wives' star Meri Brown snubbed Kody Brown on her Father's Day post

'Sister Wives' star Meri Brown, in her Father's Day tribute, chose to focus solely on her late father Bill Barber, and snub her ex-husband Kody Brown. In a heartwarming Instagram story, the 52-year-old shared an endearing snapshot from her cherished childhood. The image showed Bill's impeccable style, radiating charm in a sleek grayish suit, while tenderly placing his hands on his daughter's shoulders. Meri, known for her boldness, captioned the post with a simple "Happy Father's Day."

It's worth noting that Meri and Kody, who once shared a deep connection, have a child together, Leon Brown, now 27, adding a layer of complexity and significance to this poignant tribute. A few years ago, Leon announced that they identify as transgender and since then they have stopped living in the 'Sister Wives' family. In a reaction video made by Gwendlyn, she claimed the real reason for Leon to choose to live away was due to Kody's thoughts and words.

Why did Kody Brown and Meri Brown split?

After legally marrying Kody in 1990, Meri stood by as their plural marriage expanded, with Kody entering spiritual unions with Janelle Brown in 1993 and Christine Brown in the subsequent year. The dynamics shifted again in 2010 when Robyn Brown became the fourth wife. In 2014, Meri divorced Kody to facilitate his legal marriage to Robyn and the adoption of Robyn's three children from a previous marriage. Although they remained spiritually connected for almost a decade, Meri revealed during a tell-all episode in December 2022 that they were no longer married. Since then she has put marriage and dating on hold for a while.
