- Meri connects well with a 37-year-old man named Daniel and a 6-foot-tall man named Ron

On October 5, 2025, Sister Wives star Meri, 54, embarked on a speed dating adventure in Salt Lake City. Accompanied by her best friend Jenn Sullivan, Meri was determined to find a new romantic connection after her divorce from Kody Brown two years ago.
The speed dating rounds proved to be a mixed bag for Meri. Some of the men, like Lee, gave one-word answers, making it difficult for a genuine conversation to develop. Another suitor, Jeff, made an insensitive joke about Meri's polygamist past, which she found unacceptable. "I don't like dumb jokes," Meri told the cameras.
However, Meri did find some potential matches. She had an easy time chatting with a 37-year-old man named Daniel, though she acknowledged the age gap, saying, "You could almost be my kid! This is weird!" Meri was also impressed by a 6-foot-tall man named Ron, who she described as "handsome" and "a great communicator."
In the end, Meri told her friend Jenn that Ron was the only real candidate among the men she met. "Out of all of the men there, Ron probably would be the only real candidate for me," Meri said. Ron, for his part, was equally smitten, telling the cameras that he found Meri "really, you know, attractive and very nice" and that he hoped to see her again.
