Meri shared the experience on her Instagram Stories, posting several photos and videos with David and Blair and expressing her excitement about the meeting. “It was great to finally connect and spend some time with David,” Meri captioned one post. “I’m happy Christine has found someone who truly makes her happy. She deserves it.” Her warmth toward David showed fans a new side of Meri, one that seems committed to putting the past behind her and fostering a positive relationship with Christine’s new partner.
Reflecting on her catfishing experience, Meri became introspective about the lessons she’s learned over the years. In 2015, she fell victim to an online catfishing scheme, believing she was in an online relationship with a man, only to discover later that she had been deceived by a woman pretending to be someone else. “It was one of the most difficult experiences of my life,” Meri shared in a previous interview. “I was vulnerable, and it shook my confidence. But I’ve grown so much from it.”
The catfishing incident strained her relationship with her then-husband, Kody Brown, ultimately leading to their separation. Meri has spoken about how the betrayal affected her trust and her outlook on relationships, both within her family and beyond. However, Meri’s meeting with David seemed to underscore her growth and resilience in moving forward from that difficult period. “I’ve learned that sometimes things fall apart so better things can fall together,” she reflected, adding that she’s come to appreciate people who are “authentic and genuine.”
Christine and David’s engagement has been a significant change for the Sister Wives family, especially as Christine has been vocal about finding happiness outside of her marriage to Kody. Meri’s support for Christine’s new relationship is a testament to her willingness to move forward and celebrate her family’s happiness, despite her own challenging journey. “Christine is happier than I’ve ever seen her,” Meri wrote. “That’s what matters.”
Since confirming her separation from Kody in December 2022, Meri has been focusing on her own path, prioritizing personal growth, friendships, and new experiences. She’s been sharing glimpses of her journey on social media, posting about travels, personal achievements, and moments with friends and family. Reflecting on her recent trip, Meri shared, “I’ve come to understand that happiness is something we create for ourselves. I’m grateful for this journey and for the people who have come into my life.”
Meri’s new connection with David, alongside her journey of self-discovery, is a hopeful chapter for the Sister Wives star, who appears ready to foster supportive and positive relationships. Her willingness to meet David and express happiness for Christine demonstrates her commitment to letting go of the past and embracing the future. As Meri noted, “Life is too short to hold onto pain and grudges. I’m ready for peace and to find joy in the little things, just like Christine has.”
