Meri and Kody had some misunderstanding about her preferred location, and this left her angry at her husband. The star defended himself, stating that he bent over backward for Meri. The coupe later tracked to Las Vegas to see their therapist.

Meri and Kody became man and wife in 1990 and after some years, Kody expanded the family, marrying three more women. The family soon caught TLC’s attention, and they joined the reality world.

However, the rocky path for Meri and her partner started in 2014 when he divorced her so he could legally marry Robyn so that he would be able to adopt Robyn’s kids from another marriage. He and Meri however, remained “spiritually” married.
