During Sister Wives Season 19, Episode 3, Brown and his only remaining wife on the reality series, Robyn Brown, crossed paths with the three former Sister Wives during a family wedding.

Meri Brown was Kody Brown’s first wife. The two got married back in 1990 and were together for over 30 years. During his confessional, Kody Brown admitted that he was attempting to mend fences with Meri Brown so the two of them could move on as friends. The reality star shared that the last thing he needs right now is one more enemy while referring to his messy divorces from Christine and Janelle Brown.

Kody Brown went on to clarify that he had no romantic feelings for Meri Brown. In his exact words: “I think if I were single and Meri was single, would I date her? No, I wouldn’t.” However, he added that he didn’t blame her for being upset at how long he dragged their broken relationship. Brown also acknowledged that there’s been no communication between him and Janelle Brown because she claims to be enjoying his time away from him.
