As previously documented, Meri Brown is done playing nice with ex-husband Kody Brown.

But we just learned she’s playing VERY nicely with a kinda new man in her life.

That’s right, folks. Meri Brown has a boyfriend!

Speaking to host Sukanya Krishnan on the latest installment of the Sister Wives One-on-One special, the veteran reality star opened up about this fact for the first time in public.

“I am happy,” Meri said on air last night, referring to her boyfriend by name and adding:

“Ron is a really cool guy, very comfortable. I’m very comfortable hanging out with him.”

We don’t know anything else about this Ron fellas, Meri didn’t really provide many details. But she did tell viewers:

“Ron and I are building this really cool friendship. It’s really cool. I really love that I can be myself around him. I literally can just be myself around him.”

Just over two years ago, Meri said she was dating a guy named Amos Andrews.

“He’s not 6 foot 6, nor is he a pilot, but he loves Christmas almost as much as I do, and we laugh a lot together, both of which are important elements to a relationship!” said Meri back then.

This relationship only lasted a few months, however, as Meri told followers in February 2024 that she had dumped Amos.

“Just because I care a lot about someone, and him me, does not equate to full compatibility for a long-term relationship,” she tried to explain the aftermath of this split.

“When we have different dreams and aspirations, different communication styles and values, different visions for our futures, and these things aren’t aligning, it’s then that we need to make hard decisions…

“I know what’s important to me in a relationship, and I’m confident in myself while I’m single as well.

“For now, I’ll continue to look into my future with the hopes of new opportunities and the confidence of continued personal growth.”

Meri met Ron at a speed-dating even that was televised on Sister Wives Season 20.

“Have you looked at him? He’s cute,” she joked to Krishnan. “I’m very comfortable with him and I enjoy spending time with him.”

Does this mean the two are exclusive? It doesn’t sound that way. Not yet at least.

“Ron and I don’t date. Ron and I hang out and enjoy each other’s company,” she added on the special, quipping: “I’m going to have to ask Ron how he feels about this conversation.”

Back in September, Meri said it was challenging to date — but that she wasn’t about to change anything about herself for a guy.

“Listen, if somebody doesn’t like me and all my snort laughter, then they just aren’t going to get me,” she said on an episode Sister Wives. “Then they’re just not my person.”

As for Kody?

“It looked like a lot of fun,” he told Krishnan of Meri’s flirtations with Ron. “There’s some good energy there. It looked great. It’s this exciting experience when you first meet people. It’s just really cute.”

Continued the father of 18 on this topic:

“Whether they work or not, there’s this excitement that you get watching it. I haven’t seen a lot of that in a long time. It’s like seeing her in a happy element. It’s great.”

From music to fashion to inspirational statements, the 2026 Grammy Awards had a lot of winners.

There was one big loser — at least, in the minds of many of the honorees as well as the host.

Donald Trump is threatening to sue over it.

Did Trevor Noah make a defamatory claim? Probably not. But that won’t stop Trump from seeking revenge.

Hosting an awards show is not an easy gig

On Sunday, February 1, Billie Eilish took home the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for “Wildflower.”

While on stage, she and others spoke out against the Trump regime, particularly his ICE goons’ deadly siege in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Then, Noah addressed the camera, making reference to two of the biggest stories from the past several weeks.

“That is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland,” he quipped.

“Which makes sense, I mean,” Noah reasoned, “because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out on with Bill Clinton.”

The audience applauded. Noah clearly understood that not everyone would love the reference.

“I told you it’s my last year!” he pointed out while facing the camera.

Noah then challenged: “What are you going to do about it?”

That is a fair point, when it comes to the Grammy Awards and CBS. Also, this is a normal and topical reference to expect from an awards show host.

However, when you make a joke about someone who has clearly lost so much of their mental faculties that most of what remains is vindictive malice, reprisal doesn’t have to be rational.

It’s deeply weird how much he cares about this

This past weekend was a busy one for the Trump regime.

A massive release of Epstein-related documents hit the public, featuring horrific details and numerous descriptions of some of Trump’s alleged crimes.

Additionally, a video that the internet speculates featured Trump defecating in the Oval Office — followed by his handlers ushering the press out of the room — went viral on social media.

But still, close to midnight, Trump took his very own personal social media platform to whine about an award show.

“The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable,” he griped on Truth Social. “CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer.”

“The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be,” Trump continued, “is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards.”

(It is possible that Trump is feigning ignorance, but he’s also nearly 80 years old and doesn’t really have any meaningful understanding of the world, so he might genuinely not know about comedians who were born after the 1970s)

“Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island,” Trump claimed.

“WRONG!!!” he alleged. “I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close.”

Trump continued: “And until tonight’s false and defamatory, statement, [sic], have never been accused being there, not even by the Fake News Media.”

The threats became more explicit

“Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast,” Trump threatened.

“It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C.,” he menaced, “and suing him for plenty$.”

Trump concluded: “Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

When he mentions George Stephanopoulos, he refers to one of various frivolous lawsuits that he has filed in order to quash free speech – and, critics argue, to solicit bribes from companies eager to curry favor with his regime.

Truth be told, we don’t love the use of Epstein’s crimes in a joke, even if it is a good way of keeping Trump’s lengthy friendship with the notorious dead pedophile in the conversation. Trump’s name appears more than 3,000 times within the documents.

But it is much worse to see Trump use his power and position to attempt to silence critics in flagrant opposition to American values.

There were plenty of memorable highlights at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

But there was one moment that music legend Cher would probably rather forget.

Before presenting the award for Record of the Year, Cher delivered a speech about her career and the Lifetime Achievement Grammy she’d received the day before.

“I don’t do this part very well,” she began, adding:

“I first want to thank the Recording Academy for giving me this lifetime achievement award. And it’s a good thing that they did it now, because I have good genes and I wouldn’t have been here that much longer.”

“I’ve been in this business for 60 f–king years, but I just want to tell you, never give up on your dream, no matter what happens. Live it, be it, and if it’s not happening now, it will happen soon.”

At that point, Cher began to wrap things up.

“That’s all I have to say,” she concluded, while looking around the stage in apparent confusion. “I guess I’m supposed to walk off now. All right, I have to walk off.”

Yes, she seemed to have forgotten that she was supposed to present an award. Thankfully, host Trevor Noah was able to call her back to the stage in time.

“Cher, before you go, could we get you to announce the nominees?” Noah shouted as she walked off stage.

“I could do it, but it’s not the same. I don’t have the track record. Welcome back Cher, everybody.”

Crisis averted. But the awkward moments weren’t over.

First, Cher was unaware that she needed to open the envelope in her hand in order to find out who won.

She explained that she thought the winner’s name would appear on the teleprompter. Understandable.

But then the situation deteriorated further when Cher announced that the winner was Luther Vandross.

Vandross, of course, passed away in 2005, and Record of the Year was actually won by Kendrick Lamar for his song “Luther.” Whoops.

Thankfully, the recipients were able to find the humor in the situation.

“First and foremost,” producer Sounwave said while accepting the award, “let’s give a shout out to the late great Luther Vandross.”

Any single one of those flubs could have happened to anyone. But the fact that so many of them took place in such rapid succession created concern among some viewers.

“Cher needs to be checked for earlier dementia. Mama is all over the place,” one X user wrote (via Radar Online).

“Somebody please check Cher in for a dementia check please, she is stressing me out,” another added.

The fact is, Cher is 79 years old, and live TV is always a high-wire act.

There’s no real reason to be worried about her cognitive health — so maybe we should all just be grateful for the unintentional comedy.
