Let's get this out of the way up front:
Kody Brown and Meri Brown are legally divorced. They split up years ago in order for Kody to marry fourth wife Robyn Brown and adopt her children.
And yet, these two have been operating as a married couple, raising kids together; starring on Sister Wives together; and talking about each other like a spouse, even if it's just been of the spiritual variety.
But this really isn't the case any longer. It hasn't been for awhile.
Neither Meri nor Kody has confirmed any sort of romantic split, but scroll down, will ya?
You'll soon see all the reasons to strongly believe this relationship is dead, over, kaput and long gone...
1. Thirty Years, Schmirty Years
Meri and Kody tied the knot in April 1990. But when the date of their 30-year wedding anniversary came around in 2020... crickets. Neither side made any reference on social media and the two did not celebrate together.
2. She's Always the Victim!
Heading into the latest season of Sister Wives, we had a feeling things were amiss between the pair, as previews depicted Kody trashing Meri to Robyn, saying she always acts like a victim and is always whining.
3. He Always Sucks!
On the season itself, Kody and Meri clashed incessantly over the former urging the latter to get on board with his plan to build one giant mansion for the family... and Meri refusing to actually get on board.
4. Don't Take Our Word for This Split, Though
Just think back to what Meri and Kody themselves have said about their marriage.
5. What Am I Doing Here?
"People ask me all the time why I don’t leave," Meri said during a couples therapy session that aired in early 2020, prior to admitting: "The relationship between he and I is gone, it’s dead, it’s over."
6. Who is This Woman?!?
Kody then explained how they had a “very fast courtship" and basically said he regretted ever marrying Meri: "I didn’t know who I was marrying. I am just done with hearing how I am wrong."
