Meri Brown Spills ‘Sister Wives’ Secrets: Off Limit Topics, Favorite Memories and More (Exclusive)
Meri Brown is giving Us an inside look behind the scenes of Sister Wives.
“There’s so many good memories,” Brown, 53, exclusively told Us Weekly in December. “When I sled down the hill and landed on the other side of the snow berm. I don’t even know what you call it.”
Meri has starred on the TLC series since its 2010 premiere alongside ex-husband Kody Brown, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown and Robyn Brown. While Meri has become a pro in front of the camera for the past 19 seasons, she confessed that the first day of filming took her by surprise.
“Just thinking of that very first scene when I was introduced, I didn’t expect the cameras to be there,” she recalled. “I didn’t know they were there. I would’ve been a little bit more prepped.”
When the show began, Meri, Janelle, 55, Christine, 52, were all married to Kody, 55, and he was in the process of courting Robyn, whom he wed in 2014. However, their relationship dynamics have shifted a lot since then. Christine and Kody split in 2021 while Janelle and Kody called it quits the following year. While Meri prefers to be prepared for the camera, she teased that Kody is the one who would most likely be the “star of the blooper reel.”
“Just because of all the things that actually come out his mouth should be blooper,” she quipped.
While the Brown family have been open about their lives on screen, there are some topics Meri doesn’t like to broach on the show.
“I don’t like talking about or hearing other people talking about intimacy, PDA and finances,” she told Us. “I think finances is not a necessary conversation.”
As for who takes the longest to get ready, Meri admitted it’s a toss up between her or Robyn.
“I always take an hour and a half to get ready,” she confessed “Sometimes I’ve done it in 45, but that’s only when I’m staying at home.”
While Kody remains married to Robyn to this day, Janelle, Christine and Meri, (aka., the ex-wives club), have remained close as they continue to navigate life as a family. Meri shared that over the years her favorite family gatherings had to be Thanksgiving where all their children were in attendance. Meri and Kody share a son, Leon, 29. Kody is also the father of six kids: Logan, 30, Maddie, 29, Hunter, 27, Gabriel, 23, and Savannah, 20 whom he shares with Janelle. Kody and Christine also have six children together: Aspyn, 29, Mykelti, 28, Paedon, 26, Gwendlyn, 23, Ysabel, 21, and Truely, 14. With fourth wife Robyn, Kody shares son Solomon, 13 and daughter Ariella, 8. He also adopted Robyn’s little ones from her previous marriage: David, 24, Aurora, 22, and Breanna, 20. (Kody and Janelle were also parents of son Garrison who died in March at age 25.)
“As the kids got older, they would go off and do different things for different holidays,” Meri said. “But on Thanksgiving almost everybody was always there.”
Meri added that out of all the women on the show, Christine was the “best” cook but teased that she has also made “some not so good things too.”
Sister Wives airs on TLC Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
