While Kody Brown’s third wife Christine and fourth wife Robyn have bought homes in Flagstaff, first spouse Meri continues to refuse to put down roots in Arizona! RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal Meri is renting a new home in the state.
The home Meri was renting in Flagstaff since August 29, 2018 was put on the market for $870,000 on July 1, 2019.
According to online records, she is now renting a new home in Flagstaff. The 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home was listed for rent on May 11, 2019 for $4,500. The listing was removed exactly a month later for the same price.
While Meri continues to rent, her fellow sister wives have made the move more permanent.
Christine and Kody bought a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home for $520,000 before the big move.
Although Robyn rented a home at first, she then bought 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom house for a whopping $925,000 in August 2019.
Janelle is the only other sister wife to rent, as she pays $2,850 a month for a 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, the Brown family moved from Las Vegas to Flagstaff in August 2018. They just sold their final of four homes after a year on the market with multiple price cuts.
The Browns spent $820,000 on land to be split into four parcels in June 2018, RadarOnline.com reported.
On the show, Kody discussed building a mega home where all four wives would have their own sections with a common area. The plan was kept from the wives, who were against living in the same house.
As RadarOnline.com broke, the family has yet to build on the land they purchased as of May 2019 and continue to live in separate homes.
Meri continuing to rent could be a sign of more marital issues for her and Kody. Scroll through RadarOnline.com’s gallery for more!

Issues
On the most recent season, she opened up about their marital troubles years after the scandal. "It’s hard to be here and work on these relationships in the family," she said. "I’m looking in from the outside. I don’t feel like I have a husband and wife relationship." The family feared throughout the season that Meri would leave.
Making It Work?
But they revealed on the Tell All that they were working on their marriage. "We have a commitment to a marriage," Kody said. "We’re moving forward. We’re steadily working on a direction that’s fully mended.” She added, “It was not moving in a positive direction for a really long time prior to the realization. From that point he and I and everybody had to figure out what we really wanted and move forward from there.” Kody then said they are working on a "new beginning." "We are dating," Kody said of Meri. "We literally got to a place that was nasty. We’re not doing that anymore. It’s a new date, a new girlfriend, a new person.”
Eyes For Only Robyn?
But in May, RadarOnline.com broke that Kody had spent Mother’s Day at Robyn’s home. Only Christine came to visit for the occasion. For an entire week, Kody remained at Robyn’s home, who fans have consider to be his favorite wife.
