Sister Wives‘ Mary Brown breaks down the wildest DMs she’s received since her split from her husband Kody Brown – includes a bunch of tips.
“There’s been a couple of times since I’ve been dating that people have contacted me on social media basically saying, ‘Hey, we’d love to have you in our family,'” Meri, 55, reveals in Us‘ special sneak peek of the Sunday, October 25, episode of the TLC reality series.
Meri, who confirmed her split from Kody, 57, in January 2023 after more than 30 years together, admits she received “all kinds” of messages from polygamists asking her to join their family unit.

Meri notes that polygamists aren’t the only ones who slide into her DMs in hopes of a romantic relationship.
“I get compliments, I swear, every week,” she says. “You know, I had an email just the other day where a guy, you know, sent a message and it’s the weirdest thing. It’s the weirdest thing.”
Elsewhere in the clip, Meri sheds light on her dating life while doing some sort of outdoor sailing.
“When I was chatting with Eric, like, he was kind of fun. He was a very outgoing guy,” Meri explains, referring to one of her matches. “But if somebody’s interested, they’re going to make it known. And I didn’t tell that and he didn’t tell it. And I was fine with that.”
Meri’s love life has been a topic of conversation since her and Kody’s split. The former couple tied the knot in 1990 and quickly expanded their plural family in 1993 and 1994 with sisters-in-law Janelle Brown and Christina Brownrespectively.
A year later, Meri welcomed her only child, Leon, now 31, with Kody. Thanks to Janelle, 57, and Christine, 54, Meri is also a second mother to their 12 children together.
In 2010, Kody spiritually married his fourth wife, Robyn Brownwhich fans watched play out on season 1 of Sister Wives.
Four years later, Kody legally divorced Meri so he could legally marry Robyn, 48, and adopt her three children from a previous marriage. (Kody and Robyn welcomed two of their own biological children.)
