LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a surprising moment on the latest episode of 'Sister Wives', Kody Brown, 55, emotionally told his ex-wife Meri Brown, 53, that he wanted to walk her down the aisle at her next wedding, despite their tumultuous split.

According to the Daily Mail, as Kody Brown helped Meri Brown settle in, he shared an emotional hug with her, fighting back tears.

“Meri’s just on point today. She’s just the wonderful woman that I would have liked to have been married to,” he said.

As the embrace lingered, he revealed his hope to be part of her future wedding, telling her, “I hope I get to walk you down the aisle.” This candid moment marked a stark contrast to their earlier struggles in their marriage.

Despite their past difficulties, including Kody's divorces from his other wives, Meri and Kody shared a bittersweet parting. “We had something special,” Kody remarked through tears. “I’m not bitter anymore. I’m not angry. I’m glad you and I got that figured out. I’m glad we were able to be friends. But it’s the weirdest thing to be in that place. It is just heartbreaking in a way.”

Their emotional farewell was particularly surprising, given Kody’s divorces from his other wives, Christine and Janelle Brown. Kody mentioned how his separation from Meri felt like the “final nail in the coffin” of his dream to lead a polygamist family.

Despite his deep emotional attachment to the past, Kody reassured Meri, saying, “We both have permission to move on,” signaling that both had come to terms with their relationship's end

Meri Brown, who seemed taken aback by Kody Brown's tears, responded, “I don’t understand why this is happening.”

She later admitted in a confessional interview that Kody’s emotional words left her confused. “Is he serious? Is he trying to make a joke? I can’t tell,” Meri said, reflecting on how Kody had previously distanced himself from her. “I don’t know what to do with this.”

The moment ended with Meri expressing her confusion, saying, “He’s sobbing. He’s saying it’s the end of an era. And I’m thinking it didn’t have to be this way.” She admitted she was “floored” by Kody's words, unsure of how to process the emotional exchange.

As the episode concluded, Kody reiterated that both he and Meri had the “permission to move on", officially marking their separation as the “end of an era” in their complex relationship.
