Overview

• Meri Brown said she will not revert to her maiden name, noting she has used “Brown” for 35 years and finds “Meri Barber” awkward to say.
• She described her current dynamic with Kody Brown as a “very roller coaster relationship,” citing misaligned values and volatile interactions.
• Brown voiced heartbreak over what she sees as Kody’s reduced effort with some adult children, urging more engagement from him.
• She confirmed she is not dating exclusively and is selective about partners, saying she dates only when someone matches her energy.
• As context, the pair legally divorced in 2014 so Kody could marry Robyn and adopt her children, and Meri later ended the spiritual marriage through their church.
