You’ve likely been hearing the rumor for months.
But will it soon become a reality?
Will Meri Brown get up and walk out on Kody Brown, following endless chatter that the end of this relationship is both near and inevitable?
Meri herself has finally decided to address this long-gestating piece of gossip.
Consider what she wrote on Sunday night in response to what folks were talking about on Twiter:
Already starting the night with a blocking spree! Come on guys, I have a family, I’m not bailing! Sheesh!! #SisterWives
Oh, so there we go. Simple enough, we guess.
Concerns of Meri and Kody Brown’s romance for back a very long time.
Back in 2015, Kody filed to divorce Meri so that he could make Robyn is lone official wife.
Meri, however, remained very much in the picture; she was simply demoted from the status of Lead Wife in This Very Unusual Family.
Then, in May of 2016, Meri found herself at the center of one of the more unexpected celebrity scandals in recent memory, as she flirted hard with a man she met online.
Or at least she thought it was a man she met online.
She later learned that she had been catfished (that is, fooled and lied to) and that she had really been in contact with a woman who she met on the Internet.
This was pretty darn awkward for all involved, not just due to the whole catfishing thing — but because Meri was seemingly out there, looking for love.
TLC, meanwhile, has teased various seasons of Sister Wives by hinting that break-ups and walk-outs were imminent.
This arrangement always seems on the verge of falling apart.
In December of 2016, however, Meri did assure Twitter followers that anything you hear from someone outside the family is “probably a lie.”
Probably, though.
That does leave some wiggle room, doesn’t it?
On the last season of Sister Wives, Meri and Kody attended therapy together in an attempt to move past the catfishing scandal and save their relationship.
In one emotional episode, Kody confronted Meri’s complicated situation and told her:
“You didn’t want to be out of the family, you just wanted to be out of your relationship with me.”
So now you can see where those Meri-Kody breakup rumors come from, right?
We aren’t just making them up, people!
One glance through Meri’s Instagram page does reveal a seemingly content individual, however.
It may very well be that TLC and the Browns themselves perpetrate these sorts of rumors in order to make headlines and remain relevant.
It wouldn’t exactly be the first time a reality television show did such a thing, would it?
Either way, we’ll continue to keep an eye on the many relationships of Kody Brown and report back if or when any does finally come to an end.
