SISTER Wives fans are loving Meri Brown’s new look, claiming she “looks amazing” following Kody and Christine’s split.
Meri, 50, shared an Instagram Live video from a night out and fans couldn’t help but gush over her new look.
She was joined by a friend in the video, showing off their matching to-go cups.
Meri regularly does Instagram Lives with friends on Friday nights.
In this video, she was “in the pacific northwest.”
She assured fans: “If you’re here for something of substance, or something of a particular TV show — like a tell-all type thing — you’re not gonna find it.”
Fans didn’t seem to mind, instead focusing on her glammed up look.
One commenter wrote: “You look beautiful and that smile suits you well.”
Another wrote: “Beautiful,” while a third praised, “I love the new you!”
Someone else added: “Merry Christmas. Look amazing.”
It’s been a season of change for Meri and her family.
In addition to Christine’s split from Kody, daughter Mariah’s partner just came out as trans.
NOT HIDING
Audrey Kriss, who got engaged to Mariah in 2019 after two years of dating, came out in a vulnerable Instagram post to fans.
After a lengthy hiatus, they wrote: “Hello friends! I just wanted to let you know that I am transgender and my pronouns are they/them. I’m still going by Audrey.
“I don’t want to hide myself from the world anymore. I am so incredibly excited! I am also so scared. I am scared of the hate I’ll receive, the things people I care abut will say about me, and violence.
“As a white masculine, presenting person comes a lot of privilege, and I am still scared.”
They continued: “I don’t want to make this all sad because I am SO happy being me! Being fully myself lately has brought me so much joy! For the first time, I look at my body and I feel free.
“I am starting to feel more at home, more ME. I love being trans and I love being queer. I am still the same person I was yesterday. I just might look a little different!
“I am so incredibly grateful for trans affirming medical care. I am so proud of myself that I stopped running from something I’ve known about myself for a long time.
“I am so proud of myself and my journey. I never thought I would make it to this point and WOW, I am glad I did.
“I cannot thank the supportive people in my life enough for helping and encouraging me to foster this growth and discovery. I am so fortunate to be surrounded by an incredible amount of love and support. Thank you!
“And thank you to the people on the internet and in my life that don’t know how much living openly as themselves helped me see a light I didn’t know eisted.
“Thank you to all my trans elders that came before me and paved the way for me to openly be who I am, especially trans women of color.
“That’s all for now, I am on a long apology tour for falling off the face of the planet for a while. Can’t wait to share more with y’all soon!”
Meri included a supportive note for Audrey, her soon to be in-law, writing: “I freaking love you @audreykriss.”
MOVING ON
Meri divorced Kody in 2014 so he could marry fourth wife Robyn.
She claimed she wanted to create “a different culture” for her children than she had.
Providing insight into how she was raised, Meri said: “Even though it was like, the polygamist culture I grew up in was: you need to get married when yu’re young, and you need to have kids, and you need to be quiet about who you are, and you just need to just stay in this little box.”
She continued: “We’ve tried to create ‘you can do whatever you want to do’ for our kids. And Mariah is doing it.”
Meri has had a rocky relationship with her husband since the legal split.
The pair remained spiritually married after their divorce, but that created tension among his other wives.
CHRISTINE WALKS AWAY
Christine finally left Kody in November following several tense months and much speculation.
She has been open with fans following the split, admitting she has “good and bad” days.
She noted, however, that she feels “like a much better person” after calling it quits.
Christine sold her home in Arizona, moving into a $1.1M Utah duplex near her daughter.
