'Sister Wives' season 7 spoilers: Maddie gets married; Meri still unforgiven as Kody searches for wife number 5?
In light of the catfishing scandal that first wife Meri got embroiled in last season, the rumor mill has spawned talks that Kody, patriarch of the polygamous Brown family, is looking for wife number five.
According to Parent Herald, Kody is intent on finding a new and younger wife, preferably someone who's thin, attractive, and around 19 or 20 years old. However, the search may be spurred not by Meri's recent involvement in the scandal where she was duped by an online "boyfriend" but by Kody's desire to rake in more money.
Kody currently shares his house with four wives – first wife Meri, 45; Janelle, 47; Christine, 44; and current wife Robyn, 37. Meri was the first one Kody legally married, but she subsequently filed for divorce so Kody could marry Robyn and be able to adopt Robyn's kids legally.
The Hollywood Life reported that it has been a year since Kody started looking for wife number five. If he does find her, then fans of the show could expect more drama to rock the already controversial polygamous family. On the other hand, the same report hinted that Kody wants a new face in the house to amp up the possibility of TLC renewing "Sister Wives" for another season.
Meanwhile, in an exclusive interview with People, Meri shared details about how she got catfished. She dished out that the "guy," Sam Cooper, seemed to have a southern accent and was "very, very flirty" with her.
The current season of "Sister Wives" will have Meri opening up and sharing more details about her online affair, as well as how she has been trying to gain back the trust of Kody and the rest of the wives.
Incidentally, 20-year-old Maddie Brown, second child of Kody and Janelle, tied the knot with Caleb Brush in an intimate Bohemian-themed outdoor ceremony on Saturday. The bride's father officiated the wedding.
"I'm pretty excited," the bride told Us Weekly in an exclusive. "It doesn't feel real."
Maddie likewise revealed that while she grew up in a polygamous household, she and some among her 16 siblings would rather stick to monogamous relationships.
"I'm not one to live plural marriage," she said at the time.
Sister Wives airs on TLC Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
