“Meet Amos, the good looking guy I’ve been dating since October!”
Meri — who was one of four women in a polygamous relationship with Kody — added that she’s been keeping her new romance under wraps while they’ve been “enjoying the last few months of dating and getting to know each other.”
She 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 former reality star shared snaps of her new man, Amos, on social media Tuesday. Instagram/@therealmeribrownAdding some humor to her relationship launch, Meri added, “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!”
Her carousel post featured several photos of the two, including a snap of the couple posing with her dog, Zona.

Meri was one of four women — including Janelle, Christine and Robyn Brown — who entered into a “spiritual union” with Kody. Bryant Livingston/APChristine Brown, who was with Kody for 25 years, announced her exit from the polygamous family in November 2021, with Janelle Brown following in her footsteps in December 2022.
In December 2023, Christine detailed the lack of intimacy and respect she received from Kody that led to their separation.
“It was, like, five times in one year,” the former reality star said on Heather McDonald’s “Juicy Scoop” podcast. “There’s sex and then there’s intimacy. What we didn’t have was intimacy.”
As of January 2024, Kody only remains married to Robyn. TLCThe mother of six also recalled the last straw in the relationship came when Kody wasn’t there as their daughter Ysabel underwent spinal surgery.
“The final thing for me was Ysabel’s surgery,” Christine said. “[Kody] said to [Ysabel] … ‘I can’t leave my family for that long.’ Ysabel goes, ‘I thought we were family. I thought he was my dad.’ She was like, ‘What am I?'”
Kody and Robyn Brown — who legally tied the knot in 2014 — remain together.
The father of 18 admitted in December 2023 that he would not “advise” others to enter into a polygamous relationship. Eilon PazLooking back on his time with the four women, Kody shared in December 2023 that he wouldn’t advise polygamy today.
“I don’t advise people marry and go over three wives,” he said in an interview with People.
“I’m not an advocate of plural marriage, but I’ve had my own experience in it and I’ve had my own failures in it. Because of that, I’m like, you got to be really, really wise about who is doing it, how they’re doing it.”
