Meri Brown’s Heartbreak: “It’s Officially Over” – Sister Wives Star Divorces Kody Brown in Emotional Church Split

In a deeply emotional scene from Sister Wives, Meri Brown shares the devastating news. Her spiritual marriage to Kody Brown is officially over. Meri travels to Utah to seek a “release” from their spiritual union through their church, the Apostolic United Brethren. Then, the heartbreaking moment comes.

“I was granted what is called in our church a release, which is basically the equivalent of a divorce,” Meri tearfully explains in a confessional. “It was a very, very hard conversation, hard meaning heartbreaking because this is not what I wanted to do. This is not what I intended when I married Kody.” Meri hoped their spiritual bond would last after their 2014 divorce. But, Kody’s lack of interest in reconciling made the decision inevitable.

Sister Wives: Meri’s Journey to Break Free from “Limbo”

Meri Brown’s trip to Utah to finalize the split marks the end of a long, painful chapter in her life. In an exclusive TODAY clip, she explained that, since their divorce, she had been in limbo. Kody ended their marriage to wed Robyn Brown and adopt her three kids.

“Back in 2014, Kody and I did do a legal divorce,” Meri reveals. “For me, that whole process was purely for the fact that he could then marry Robyn legally and then adopt her kids. But our spiritual marriage was still intact.” That spiritual bond, meant to last for eternity, was all that was left of Meri’s commitment to Kody. Now, with the church’s release, it’s “done.”

The decision didn’t come easily for Meri. She explains that she texted Kody about her choice to proceed with the release, telling him, “Hey, I started the process. In two weeks, if you want to give any input…,” but Kody never responded. It’s a moment that speaks volumes about the state of their relationship. While Meri was still holding onto hope for closure, Kody had long moved on emotionally.

I guarantee you Robyn is gonna end up leaving Kody. She fell in love with him due to how he loved Meri & his other wives. Now that she’s the only wife it changes everything. Unpopular opinion but I don’t think Robyn wanted to be the only wife. #SisterWives

Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s Reaction: “It’s Been Done for Years”

For Kody Brown, the end of his spiritual marriage to Meri was inevitable. After 32 years together, the two had grown apart, with Kody admitting that any chance of reconciliation was gone. Despite Meri’s heartbreak, Kody appears relieved by the finality of the church’s release.

“There was no way to reconcile things with Meri,” Kody states. “However we are made accountable to God, I don’t want to be accountable to this church and all their BS. So I’m going to let Meri go and do her thing because if I’m angry at her, it becomes a fight.” He adds that Meri was “living in limbo” for nearly a decade, and he needed her to realize “it’s been done and over for years.”

Kody’s admission highlights just how far the couple had drifted apart. He didn’t want to continue the façade of their spiritual bond, especially when he no longer had romantic feelings for Meri. But for Meri, the emotional toll was much heavier, as she held onto hope for their relationship long after Kody had given up.
