Overview
- On the season 6 finale, Garrick Merrifield said the family is pursuing a third wife and suggested Dannielle would need to legally wed a foreign recruit so she could enter the U.S.
- He cited immigration timelines, noting a new partner could obtain a green card but might wait five to ten years for citizenship, which he said complicates his own ability to remarry.
- Dannielle said she was unaware of the plan and grew emotional, and Lorrana said she is not comfortable adding another wife now given the new baby and limited time with Garrick.
- Garrick married Brazil-born Lorrana in 2024 after divorcing Dannielle in 2020, and he and Lorrana welcomed their daughter, Sarah Mae, in July.
- The Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office confirmed his Nov. 24 arrest on misdemeanor domestic violence and obstructing telephone service charges; TMZ reported allegations that he threatened to call ICE and seized a phone, and he was released on bail without public comment.
