Sister Wives: "Build Me Up Buttercup!" Meri's Prettiest Floral Outfits After Glam Body Transformation

Summary Meri showcases her body transformation with new floral outfits after splitting from Kody.

Meri's marriage struggles with Kody led to a happier and more positive life after the split.

Meri thrives post-split by focusing on her B&B and spreading positivity on social media.

Sister Wives’ Meri Brown is showing off her body transformation with new floral outfits. Meri was the first wife of Kody Brown, and she pioneered the polygamous lifestyle the Brown family lived in for years. When the family joined Sister Wives, Kody was married to Christine Brown and Janelle Brown and was in the process of courting his now-only wife, Robyn Brown. Meri and Kody had a difficult relationship that was strained after she started talking to another man online and found out a woman was catfishing her. After she broke Kody’s trust, their relationship was never the same.

Kody often neglected Meri and chose Robyn over all of his other wives. The real reason Christine left Kody is he didn’t want an intimate marriage with her, something Meri’s relationship also lacked. Meri finally left Kody in Sister Wives season 18, and she’s been on a path of self-discovery since. Meri began her weight-loss journey after splitting from her ex-husband and is showcasing her glam body transformation with new fashion styles. As The Foundations would say, “Build me up buttercup,” because Meri is looking better than ever post-split from Kody.

Meri Brown Glows In Buttercup Yellow

She Beamed During Her “Fridays With Friends” Instagram Live

Meri was glowing on Instagram in a buttercup yellow floral top. Each Friday, Meri hosts her own “Fridays with Friends” series on Instagram to cultivate a community with friends. She typically goes live on Instagram with her friend, Jenn Sullivan, who has offered her support throughout the years. Meri started “Fridays with Friends” during the pandemic as something to look forward to each week during isolation. She was secluded in her marriage with Kody for years, so it’s a nice change of pace to see Meri happy rather than sad.

Meri and Kody began having serious problems after she virtually cheated on Kody.

Meri thought she was talking to a man but was talking to a woman she met in person. Kody felt betrayed by the situation, though Meri believes that they were dealing with issues before that, which led her to form another relationship. During an episode of Sister Wives Look Back: How We Started, Kody said the catfishing incident still upsets him because Meri is “in full denial of what actually happened” roughly eight years later.

“The experience of Meri’s catfish makes me extremely angry.”

From then on, Kody was checked out from his marriage with Meri for the rest of their relationship. They broke up after being together for 33 years during Sister Wives season 18. During the video footage from Meri’s Instagram Live, she was beaming. Meri’s been looking so much happier since she split from Kody. She always has a good time with Jenn, who's her closest friend and support system. Instead of spreading negativity after getting divorced, Meri has chosen to spread positivity with her “Fridays with Friends” Instagram live series.

Meri beamed in a yellow, peach, and brown floral top on her Instagram. She had exciting news for her followers, announcing more details about her bed and breakfast retreat, Lizzie's Heritage Inn. “I am so, so, so, so, so excited!” she said. Meri tracked her experience buying her great-grandparent’s old home on Sister Wives and transforming it into a bed and breakfast. Throughout Sister Wives season 18, Meri told the family about her plans to move from Flagstaff, Arizona to Parowan, Utah, so she could focus on the B&B.

The B&B was Meri’s escape from Kody and his controlling tendencies. It gave Meri something to look forward to while her marriage was failing. While the B&B used to be owned by her great-grandparents, Meri didn’t inherit the home and had to purchase it herself. She borrowed $40,000 from the family to do so. It was a hot topic on the show, and it’s great to see the investment has paid off. Meri is happy operating her B&B and takes great pride in the business.

Meri Brown's Boho Halter Top Is Beautiful

She Enjoyed Time Relaxing By The Beach

The reality star took some time to relax at the beach in a boho halter top. On Instagram, Meri posed for a selfie with the bright water and the beach in the background. She towered over a railing and looked very happy in the picture. Meri expressed that she was enjoying her life even though her marriage with Kody had ended in the caption of the Instagram post. She hinted at enjoying the single life, writing “Adventuring when I want, relaxing when I need, businessing because I can, just killin’ it at life!”

“If you’re not doing the things you want to in your life, look at little changes you can make daily to get you to where you want to go!”

The Meri that fans see in Sister Wives is a stark contrast to the personality she showcases on social media. On Sister Wives, she’s constantly navigating deep and dark conversations about the Brown family. When she started the show, Meri looked happy and healthy. However, as the series went on throughout the years, she began looking sad and miserable. Currently, Meri is doing much better after losing weight and leaving her marriage.

Meri’s post was inspirational, and the caption heightened the message she shared. Her fans were supportive in the comments on the Instagram post. “Looking good girl….love the top!” Another user commended the glow-up that Meri’s had since leaving Kody, writing, “I’m just happy to see you happy!” It was time for Meri and Kody’s relationship to be called off during Sister Wives season 18. Though it was a difficult conversation, her life is much better for it.
