Meri Brown uses Taylor Swift influence to put an end to Kody Brown reunion rumors
On 'The Sarah Fraser' show, Meri Brown from ‘Sister Wives’ addressed speculation about reconciling with her estranged husband, Kody Brown.
With a hint of sarcasm, Meri dismissed the rumors, saying, "Oh my god, I see that all the time. Promise, that was never gonna happen."
She humorously reinforced her point by singing Taylor Swift’s 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' which amused the host.
Meri and Kody's relationship started in 1990, when they married and she became his first wife in a polygamous family. Although they legally divorced in 2014 to enable Kody to marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, and adopt her children, Meri and Kody remained "spiritually married" for years.
Their bond deteriorated after Meri's 2015 catfishing scandal, leading to further estrangement.
By early 2023, the couple decided to end their marriage permanently, a separation that had been clear for some time due to a lack of intimacy and Kody’s public statements about no longer viewing himself as married to Meri.
