Meri Brown Gets Proposed To “Weekly” — And Fans Are Split: Sweet or Sketchy?

In a sneak peek for this Sunday’s Sister Wives (October 25, 10pm ET on TLC), Meri Brown dropped a confession that instantly split the fandom in two: strangers keep asking her to marry them — all the time.

“I get proposed to, I swear, on a weekly basis,” Meri revealed with a laugh, describing an inbox full of emails and DMs she never asked for since she started dating after her split from Kody Brown.

But is being proposed to by strangers every single week romantic — or a red flag? Fans cannot agree, and the debate is getting heated.

The Confession That Broke the Fandom

In the clip, Meri is shown at an outdoor speed dating event, telling friends about a man named Eric — someone she describes as fun and outgoing. But Meri has a dating philosophy she’s sticking to: “if somebody is interested, they’re going to make it known.”

Since neither of them made a real move, she says she’s totally fine with how things turned out.

Then she pivoted to the wildest part: her inbox. Meri says she gets messages from polygamist families inviting her to join them, from a wife who says she and her husband are interested in her, and from one man whose email proposal she called the strangest thing she’s received yet.

Team Sweet: “She Deserves This Era”

One half of the fandom is overjoyed. After spending more than three decades in a marriage where she often felt invisible, fans say Meri, 55, is finally getting the romantic attention she was denied for years — and she should enjoy every second of it.

To them, the weekly proposals aren’t creepy at all. They’re proof that the world can see what Kody Brown apparently couldn’t: a woman worth fighting for. Fans call this her “main character era” — the dating life she never got to have in her twenties, arriving fashionably late.

Team Sketchy: “These Are Red Flags”

The other half is genuinely worried. To them, strangers proposing marriage in your DMs isn’t romance — it’s a warning sign. Fans on this side point out that weekly proposals from people she’s never met smell of scammers, fame-chasers, and polygamist families on the hunt for a new wife with a famous last name.

And some fans can’t help remembering Meri’s painful history with deception in online relationships. A stranger asking for your hand before asking for your coffee order isn’t flattering, they argue — it’s an audition for her fame.

Everything We Know About Meri’s Dating Life After Kody

Meri confirmed her split from Kody Brown in January 2023 after more than 30 years together, and her dating life since then has been a slow, careful rebuild. Here’s the timeline as it stands:

She publicly dated a man named Amos from late 2023 into early 2024, revealing the relationship in January 2024. This season introduced Ron, whom Meri has described as a friend — while carefully adding that she’s not ruling anything out. Now there’s Eric from the speed dating scene, whom she calls fun and extroverted but hasn’t pursued.

According to reports, Meri’s approach is patient and guarded: she believes interest should be obvious, and if it’s not, she’s fine walking away.
