Amid the discussions of an alleged backdoor deal and the rehashing of a decade-old catfishing scandal, the Sister Wives Season 20 Tell-All managed to find certain moments of levity, notably when Meri Brown gave fans an update on her relationship with Ron, the man she met while speed dating this season.

‘Sister Wives’ viewers met Ron on an episode that aired in October, where Ron and Meri both expressed an interest in each other. As the season progressed, Ron showed up at a fundraising event in Parowan, Utah, for Meri’s best friend’s husband and on an episode that aired in December, fans watched the two enjoy an e-bike riding date. 

While Meri insisted this season that she and Ron were enjoying each other’s company and hadn’t put a label on anything yet, Meri confirmed to host Sukanya “Suki” Krishnan on Part 4 of the Tell-All that she is “really happy” and that, “Ron is a really cool guy.” 

“I’m very comfortable hanging out with him,” she added. “ …Ron and I are building this really cool friendship, it’s really cool. Like, I really love that I can be myself around him. Like, I literally can just be myself around him.” 

As she expressed earlier this season, Meri’s BFF Jenn Sullivan told Suki that she also likes Ron and would be happy to see her bestie turn the budding romance into a full-blown relationship, but only “if that’s what Ron and Meri want.” 

As for Meri, she seemed open to the idea of taking things to the next level with her fellow former speed dater. 

“I mean, have you looked at him?” Meri asked Suki. “He’s cute!” 

While Meri reiterated that she’s “comfortable” with Ron, she declined to answer if the two have shared a kiss on any of their outings. 

“You can ask [if we’ve kissed], sure,” Meri told Suki, who responded with, “Will you answer?” 

“No, I won’t,” Meri replied. 

Meri also opted out of giving a straight answer as to when her next date with Ron will happen. 

“Ron and I don’t date,” she explained. “Ron and I hang out and enjoy each other’s company.” 

When pushed on the topic, Meri joked that she’d have to “ask Ron how he feels about this conversation.” 

Meri’s former sister wife Christine and Christine’s husband David Woolley also weighed in on Meri’s romance with Ron on Part 4 of the Tell-All, with both calling the pair’s on-camera connection “so cute.”
