MERI Brown has teased that she’s spending her birthday with a special someone, one year after splitting from her ex, Kody.
The Sister Wives star announced last January that she and Kody, 54, had parted ways after over three decades of marriage.
Over the weekend, Meri, 52, hinted in an Instagram post that she’s moved on with a new love interest.
The post was shared by the TLC star’s BFF, Jenn, including a list of Meri’s wishes for her birthday this year.
They ranged from enjoying more spa days to traveling around the globe, but what was at the top of the list caught fans’ eyes the most.
“Birthday dinner date with a great guy,” Meri’s number one wish read.
Sister Wives fans wondered if it meant Meri was seeing someone new, which she’s teased numerous times since her breakup from Kody.
Last month, the TV star took fans by surprise when she cuddled up to a new man in an Instagram photo.
Meri took to the platform to share snaps from her weekend getaway with friends and family.
One pic showed the reality star getting cozy with her friend and personal interior designer, Blair Struble.
The pair snuggled together in several selfies inside a holiday-themed cabin.
They were again captured outside petting some goats wandering around the property.
Meri gushed over their friendship in her caption, “So glad to have you as one of my favorite sidekicks on this life journey! A fabulous weekend indeed!”
NEW LOVER?
However, fans wondered if their relationship was more than friends.
“I am so glad your heart is finding happiness,” one person wrote.
“You look happy and it’s well deserved,” echoed another.
“What a difference it makes to be in the company of healthy, happy people that nurture you, instead of a toxic, depressing environment,” said a third.
Meri tied the knot with Kody in April 1990 and was the first of her polygamist ex’s four wives.
He later married Janelle, 54, Christine, 51, and Robyn, 45, who is his only remaining spouse. The other three women have all parted ways with Kody.
ROCKY RELATIONSHIP
Meri and Kody had been open about their marital issues on the show, and Kody recently admitted their relationship had been over way before they officially called it quits.
“We started a breakup seven years ago and have been going through just a process of trying to figure out what to do,” Kody told Us Weekly in October.
On January 10, 2023, the former couple shared a joint statement on social media, announcing their divorce.
“After more than a decade of working on our relationship in our own unique ways, we have made the decision to permanently terminate our marriage relationship.
“During this process, we are committed to kindness and respect toward each other and to all members of our family, and we are also committed to the continued healing of any and all relationships within the family so that we can move forward with forgiveness, grace, and love,” their statement concluded.
As of April of last year, Meri has reportedly moved into her bed and breakfast in Parowan, Utah.
“The thing about Meri is she is really happy with her life right now,” a source recently told The U.S. Sun.
“Aside from not having Kody in her life, she has found her peace.”
