Looks like Meri Brown might have found love again! The Sister Wives alum revealed this week that she’s spending some of the 2024 holidays with a “mystery man” named Brandon Stone in an Instagram post. The reveal of the new potential partner comes two years after Meri ended her marriage with Kody Brown.

“It’s a Christmas miracle! #MysteryMan #LifeIsGood @papabrandon1005,” wrote in the post.

Brandon is not the first man that Meri has dated since leaving Kody, who centers the TLC reality series. Meri previously dated a man Amo starting in October 2023, but the pair split a few months later. “He just wasn’t my person,” Meri told People. “We dated exclusively for a few months, and he just wasn’t my person.”

The post with Brandon comes shortly after she also told People that she was “dating non-exclusively.” It seems like things are moving along nicely with this new partner.

Meri is not the only one to move on from Kody Brown. Of the four women that were showcased on Sister Wives, Brown is currently only in a relationship with Robyn, whom he married last. He is also separated from Janelle and Christine Brown.

In a November episode, Brown was visibly upset while helping Meri move from Flagstaff, Arizona to her new home in Salt Lake City, officially cementing the end of their relationship. “I’m glad you’re my favorite ex-wife, but it’s the weirdest thing to be in that place.” he said in the episode, “I love the life I have, but it’s a very different life than what I had three years ago.” Brown also offered to walk Meri down the aisle if she decided to re-marry, which took her off guard.

“I don’t know where this is coming from… He has made it clear that he did not want me in his life, so why this emotion?” Meri said in the episode confessional. “The fact that he’s saying he wants to walk me down the aisle when I get married again… Like, why would he say that?”

If things get serious with this new mystery man, will Kody even be invited to the wedding?

    Kody made a big scene about the breakup because he'll literally do whatever it takes to be the center of attention. Period.

      You are right. Because if Meri gets Married again & if Kody walks her down the aisle. That is what everyone will be talking about. "Kody" Not Meri & her new Husband. Meri divorced Kody. She doesn't need to include him in her life anymore. Yes, they might run into each other from time to time. But, when you divorce someone. That means you don't want to be with them. Why should Meri stress herself out just for her Ex-husband. If he really wanted to be part of Meri's life. He would have been more loving. That way they would still be a family.

    So happy for you. Keep Kody out of your relationship. He treated you bad. So did his wife.

    Way to go, Meri! So happy you are moving forward & away from Kody. I hope your new man Brandon is good to you — you deserve someone who loves & respects you, who treats you with kindness & strives to make you happy, & who will put you first in his life. Don’t look back…. Only ahead to a brighter, happier future. And PLEASE, DO NOT allow Kody to play anymore games with your heart. When you decide to marry again — when the right man enters your world & it’s that amazing, one of a kind love true love — please don’t allow Kody anywhere near you on your special day. Start fresh without him near. Btw — you look amazing & happier than I’ve ever seen you! You are beautiful & glowing!

    I'm so happy for you, Meri! It was so hard to watch Kody's treatment of you all those years. Clearly he has never had your best interest at heart, and it was all about Robyn since the day he met her. Let's see how well they do without the cash influx from you and Janelle and Christine. I'm so sorry he treated you the way he did. Please don't let him anywhere near any new happiness you find, he'll just want a piece of it somehow.

    I wish you the best!

    BTW, when my husband and I would watch the show in the beginning, you were always his favorite wife. He said you were real and down to earth.

    Mary, so glad you finally left Kody & Robyn. I love the atmosphere when the show first came on, How real all 3 of you all were. It was clear you all weren’t the best of friends. But for the family you all made it work. It’s really a hard situation. Kody at the beginning wasn’t so bad. But after Robyn came in the picture, things went down hill fast. Robyn definitely a chameleon. All the times she cried. OMG !!!!!!I know it was in the best interest of Robyn’s children to be adopted. I just didn’t think he needed to divorce to do it. That was a big clue where he was headed. I feel they really blindsided you. To think she was your friend. Just keep in mind most all the siblings don’t much have relationship with them. It really does suck when a man falls deeply in love they will put thier own children on the back burner. Not saying that’s all the case. It’s sure is some. Good luck on dating. Take your time. But when you find the one, hold on tight. You deserve to be HAPPY!!!

      Hope you 3 ladies get a spin off. It would be very interesting to see how you all are doing & dealing with just a single relationship. How life is changing. Not interested in Kody & Robyn. No bad I’ll towards them. Just wish they would have been more up front. I’m sure you ladies felt it.

    Good for Meri. What a nice gesture from Kody, if he is not being cynical? It seems weird, but if the world was a nicer place, it wouldn’t seem so weird. If they all get in a better place, they could all still remain family. A divorce doesn’t change that they all looked out for each other as family for so many years. The Brown family story is sad but exciting, all at the same time. This is a new life for the ex-wives, & it is exciting to see their new journeys of life.

      Divorce does change. All the good times I had with my ex were never looked the same way after his affair. The love, trust was no longer there. Betrayal washes it away. Now I have a trustworthy husband that deserves me. Face it, the others were nothing but side chics with not a legal standing anywhere. Never put yourself in a position like that.

    These ladies should have never married him in the

    First place. He is the biggest narcissist! As soon as everyone wasn't buying his bull he started cutting them off. The only reason he is with Robin is because she needs a man to tell her what to do. She is too weak to stand alone.

    Congratulations Mary, you deserve everything great...The episode when Kody was so mean and said the sadness things to you broke my heart for you. They need to cancel his show and do show on other wives ie Life after a Narcisse elohssa. I'm so happy that you are happy and no longer stuck in a loveless relationship. Robin was selfish for asking you to stay in it for her. Her and Kody deserve each other.

    Enjoy your life Mary. Be good to Jannelle and Christine but do not trust Christine or Robin. But just treat them nice because that is who you are. Keep in touch with all the children. I called them children but most are grown. Even if they don't respond, keep reaching out if only to say thinking about you and hope you are happy. Love and hugs.

    You should left Kody when you had to signed for the divorce the first time so he could marry Robin. You deserve so much more. So happy for you!! I knew you would find happiness. You’re too beautiful inside and out to sit around to wait for that Jerk to love you. He doesn’t deserve you.

    Meri, you have it going. You deserve love from a good man. Don't let your ex - husband do anything - if you get married. Don't even invite him to the wedding. This is your time. You are a beautiful woman and don't let nobody tell you nothing different. Go girl ❤️
