Have Kody and Meri Brown overcome their marital issues? After snubbing her husband from social media for nearly a year, the two reunited in a rare photo together. Now, RadarOnline.com can reveal the Sister Wives star is telling all on her life change!
Third wife Christine shocked when she posted a photo with fellow sister wives Meri and Janelle at TGIF Fridays.
Janelle commented on the rare photo, "It was fun to just sit with you guys away from the distractions."
Christine then posted another photo, this time including fourth wife Robyn
"Look!! We have to wear appropriate clothing for dinner tonight," the caption read. "So excited for fine dining! #dinnerwithoutkids."
Soon after, Christine posted a third photo of all the wives with husband Kody at dinner.
"We feel blessed to be able to embrace our plural family in public," she wrote. "So grateful for open mindedness."
This is the first time Meri has been spotted in a photo with Kody since January 2019.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, the two have struggled with marital issues in recent years that seem to have escalated after the most recent season aired.
Fans even speculated Meri was moving from Flagstaff, Arizona, where the family currently resides.
But the photos didn't only signal that Kody and Meri may have worked through their relationship issues, as the wives also appeared to be feuding in recent months.
Robyn was noticeably absent from family gatherings over the summer. Meri and Christine also seemed to ignore each other while on a cruise for their job.

Divorce Drama

Catfish Scandal
Then, Meri was involved in a catfish scandal where she fell in love with a man she met online. Unfortunately for Meri, she learned she had been talking to a woman the entire time.
Meri Leaving?
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.
Starting Fresh
But on the Tell All, they revealed they are 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."

Meri Leaving?

Feuding Wives!
On the most recent season, Christine revealed the women don't interact with one another. "We don't talk," she said during a conversation with Meri. "We don't have any conversations. You're not comfortable with me. It's not like I talk to Robyn and Janelle. I'm not that close with them either. My relationship with my sister wives and Kody became hard. I can't give it my all when I don't want to do it."
