Meri Brown didn't have to 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.

Kody Brown & Robyn Brown
"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.'"
More than a decade and a half on, though, they're still kicking it, with the pair adding son Solomon and daughter Ariella 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 2024 Sister Wives: One on One special of Meri Brown, Janelle Brown and Christine Brown leaving the fold. "That's hard for me. That's really, really hard for me. It feels disrespectful."
Meri Brown
In January 2024, a year after she and Kody 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.
Christine Brown Woolley
She got the man and the family. Going official with her and David Woolley's romance on Valentine's Day 2023, Christine 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 on Oct. 7, 2023, she wrote, "I'm so blessed! I've married my best friend."
Madison Brown Brush
The first of the 18 Brown children to walk down the aisle, Janelle's eldest daughter wed Caleb Brush at a 2016 outdoor wedding in Montana captured by TLC's cameras. Nearly 10 years later, the two have multiplied their love with Emilia joining older siblings Axel, Evie and Josephine in March 2025.
“Our sweet girl took her time, keeping us all in suspense, but when she decided it was time—she didn’t waste a second," North Carolina-based Maddie wrote on Instagram. "Born on 3/14, she arrived absolutely perfect.”
Leon Brown
Four years after their engagement aired on the TLC reality show, Meri's only child settled in Denver with Audrey Kriss.
"My sweetest symphony," Leon raved of their partner in 2022. "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."
Logan Brown
Eldest Brown kid Logan got the gang back together when he married longtime girlfriend Michelle Petty in Arizona in 2022. "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."
Mykelti Brown
More than six years after her 2016 wedding to Antonio "Tony" Padron, Mykelti 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," Mykelti, who is also mom to eldest daughter Avalon, wrote on Instagram at the time. "A whole lot of good times and some hard times #surprisetwins But here we are still doing this whole marriage thing."
Aspyn Brown
Since their 2018 wedding, Christine's oldest daughter and husband Mitch Thompson have traveled everywhere from Paris to Alaska. But in December 2022, they put down roots, with Mitch sharing on Instagram, "We bought our first home! Just in time for Christmas."
Aspyn announced her pregnancy with the couple's first baby in April 2025.
Gwendlyn Brown
Before hitting their one-year anniversary, Christine's third oldest daughter 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, with Gwendlyn sharing a glimpse at the candlelit, rose-filled proposal on Instagram in November 2022, writing simply, "i'm engaged!!"
The couple wed in July 2023, captioning a photo from the ceremony: "Say hello to mrs (x2) queiroz."
