Meri Brown - known for her role on the reality TV show Sister Wives - celebrated her 53rd birthday by sharing a special revelation with her followers.
In an Instagram post, the star introduced her new love interest, Amos, marking a fresh chapter in her life.
Sharing a carousel of images featuring herself and Amos, Meri wrote: "Birthday #53 is looking a bit different for me this year, and might I say, I like how it looks! Meet Amos, the good-looking guy I've been dating since October!" She humorously added that while he may not be 6 feet 6 inches tall or a pilot, "he loves Christmas almost as much as I do, and we laugh a lot together, both of which are important elements to a relationship!"
The reality TV star also revealed the approval of a furry family member, her dog Zona, who "absolutely loves" Amos. To emphasize their bond, she encouraged her followers to swipe through the images, which included an adorable snapshot of Zona placing her paw on Amos' hand.
Explaining her decision to keep the relationship private until now, Meri shared that they had been enjoying the early stages of dating privately.
"I've been keeping this kind of close to me as we've been enjoying the last few months of dating and getting to know each other. As I've considered when and how I wanted to share this fun news and share him with the world (jk, not really sharing, I'm keeping him to myself) I knew I wanted to celebrate my birthday in a special way and let you celebrate this with me," she wrote.
"I feel like I'm getting this year off to a great start, and I can't wait to share more with you as the year moves forward," her post concluded.
Meri Brown's split from Kody Brown - her husband of 32 years - was confirmed in December 2022. Reflecting on the separation in a previous interview with PEOPLE, Meri asserted her confidence and self-worth. She described herself as "badass" and emphasized her ability to establish healthy boundaries and excel in business.
"I am very confident and I know what I'm worthy of and I am a very good business person and I know how to create safe boundaries around myself. And, yeah, it's pretty good. I'm not too shabby of a person," she told the publication.
Meri underlined that she had given her marriage her full effort and expressed contentment with the timing of their separation. She stated that she did everything within her power to make the relationship work and that she was at peace with how things unfolded.
Brown shot to fame for her role in the reality TV series Sister Wives.
Before her television stardom, Meri led a relatively private life, but she would soon become a central figure in one of America's most well-known polygamous families. She has 25 siblings, as her father was a polygamist.
Brown entered a plural marriage with Kody Brown in 1990, becoming his first wife. Over the years, she has borne one child and played an integral role in raising her husband's numerous other children from his subsequent marriages to Janelle, Christine, and Robyn.
Meri's journey on Sister Wives allowed viewers to gain insight into the complexities of plural marriage and her evolving relationships with her sister wives. Throughout the series, her desire for a monogamous relationship with Kody became a recurring theme, eventually leading to their separation.
