Fastexy:Sister Wives' Meri Brown Jokes About Catfishing Scandal While Meeting Christine's Boyfriend

Meri Brown didn't have Fastexyto fish for jokes when she was introduced to Christine Brown's now-husband David Woolley.

In fact, the TLC star made a crack at her own catfishing scandal when she learned that the couple met online. As seen in E! News' exclusive preview of Sister Wives' Nov. 10 episode, which showed Meri's first-ever encounter with David at a family party, she didn't mind poking fun of her unfortuitous experience with online dating.

"I found him online," Christine said of David, prompting Meri to quip, "Better be careful about that."

As the trio burst into a fit of giggles, Christine told Meri, "You make a good joke! I like it!"

In 2015, Meri fell victim to a catfishing scheme when she struck up an online romance with someone she thought was a man named "Sam." She later discovered that it was a woman behind the flirtatious messages, putting a strain on her relationship with longtime partner Kody Brown at the time.

Meri and Kody ultimately called it quits in 2022, nearly a year after Christine had already left their plural marriage.

But, as Meri noted during a confessional in the Sister Wives preview, she still felt some underlying tension between herself and Christine, who was the first sister wife to separate from Kody.

"Me and Christine talking to each other at this party is both of us being on our best behavior," she admitted. "The whole process of our family separating and now Christine dating is just a little bit weird."

Ultimately, Christine went public with David on Valentine's Day in 2023. The pair tied the knot nearly eight months later at a Utah wedding attended by her kids Aspyn, 29, Mykelti, 28, Paedon, 26, Gwendlyn, 23, Ysabel, 21, and Truely, 14, as well as former sister wife Janelle Brown, who officially split from Kody in 2022. 

Christine did not invite Meri, Kody or his only remaining wife Robyn Brown to the nuptials.

Still, Meri wished Christine well during her first meeting with David, congratulating the couple. After all, as she noted in her confessional, she would want the same support when it's time for her to find love again.

"I plan on it," Meri said of finding a new relationship. "When I date somebody, it will just be another next step of the difference in this family structure."

Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

In January 2024, a year after she and Kody Brown announced their breakup, Meri revealed on Instagram that she had begun dating Amos Andrews the previous October. But in February 2024, Meri confirmed on Instagram that they had called it quits.

"She looked like a soccer mom," Kody Brown once joked on Sister Wives of meeting then-single mom Robyn in 2009. "She had a van, three kids and was divorced. I thought, 'I didn't need a van, a divorced woman, and three kids in my life—that's just trouble.'"

Nearly a decade and a half on, though, they're still kicking it, the pair adding son Solomon, 12, and daughter Ariella, 7, to the squad. As for bringing on other teammates, it's not in the game plan. "I really, really struggle with it because it feels, like, 'Oh, well. Those didn't work. So, on to [someone] new,'" Robyn said on the December Sister Wives: One on One special of Meri, Janelle and Christine leaving the fold. "That's hard for me. That's really, really hard for me. It feels disrespectful."

She got the man and the family. Going official with her and David Woolley's romance on Valentine's Day 2023, Christine Brown shared, "I finally found the love of my life, David. The first time he held me close, it felt like my soul took its first breath. He's wonderful and kind, incredible with my children and an adorable grandpa. I never dreamed I could find a love like this."

Two months later he added to the fantasy with a spring proposal. "David treats me like a queen and tells me I'm beautiful everyday," Christine told People. "I've never been in love like this before and the world seems like a brighter place with him in it."

Tying the knot in Utah Oct. 7, she wrote, "I'm so blessed! I've married my best friend."

The first of the 18 Brown children to walk down the aisle, Janelle's eldest daughter, Madison Brown, now 28, wed Caleb Brush at a 2016 outdoor wedding in Montana captured by TLC's cameras. Nearly seven years later, the two have multiplied their love with Josephine joining big brother Axel, 6, and big sister Evie, 4, in February.  

"One month as a family of 5 and my heart is bursting," North Carolina-based Maddie wrote on Instagram in March. "I didn't know this kind of peace amongst chaos could be had."

Four years after their engagement aired on the TLC reality show, Meri Brown's only child, Leon Brown, has settled in Denver with partner Audrey Kriss. "my sweetest symphony," Leon, 28, raved of their fiancé. "Life with you truly is so sweet." Echoed Audrey, "Being your partner and watching your growth and coming into yourself over the years has been an honor and joy."

Eldest kid Logan Brown, 29, got the gang back together when he married longtime girlfriend Michelle Petty in Arizona this past October. "It was a beautiful day and this mama's heart was mush the whole time," Janelle shared on Instagram of her son's wedding. "You always have such a sense of peace when your children find amazing life partners."

More than six years after her 2016 wedding to Antonio "Tony" Padron, Mykelti Brown joked that they'd already tested the limits of their marriage vows by welcoming twins Archer and Ace into the fold in November 2022. 

"We have 3 kids and 4 moves under our belt," noted the 27-year-old, also mom to Avalon, 2. "A whole lot of good times and some hard times #surprisetwins But here we are still doing this whole marriage thing."

In the five years since they wed, Christine's daughter Aspyn Brown, 28, and husband Mitch Thompson have traveled everywhere from Paris to Alaska. But last December, they put down roots, Mitch sharing on Instagram, "We bought our first home! Just in time for Christmas."

Before hitting their one-year anniversary, Christine's daughter Gwendlyn Brown and love Beatriz Queiroz went to the happiest place on earth and marked six months together with chocolate fondue. Then came the really sweet part. The 22-year-old shared a glimpse at the candlelit, rose-filled proposal on Instagram in November 2022, writing simply, "i'm engaged!!" 

The couple wed in July, sharing the news on Instagram the caption: "Say hello to mrs (x2) queiroz."
