Mera’s post comes just days after she told PEOPLE she was “dating non-exclusively” after splitting from her most recent ex, a man named Amos, whom she began dating in October 2023. The couple later announced they were splitting in February.
“He just wasn’t my person,” Meri told PEOPLE of Amos. – We dated exclusively for a few months and he just wasn’t my person.

“You go out non-exclusively, and then you say: ‘Okay, I can focus on this person. Let’s be exclusive,” she continued. “And then, see if it works for anything. That one just isn’t. And so we broke it off and now I’m dating not exclusively.”
The businesswoman, who moved to Utah from Flagstaff, Arizona after ending her relationship with Kody, noted that “when you live in a small town, and even today, dating sites seem to be the thing.” However, she said she “met a few people through people.”
Dating wasn’t her only focus, as she noticed that she also uses this time to focus on herself. “I’m learning about myself. I’m learning about other people,” Meri told PEOPLE.

“I’m learning to trust myself and be like, ‘Hmm, I’m getting a funny vibe. This person just isn’t for me,'” she continued. “Even if it’s not a funny vibe, there’s nothing wrong with the person. It’s just not for me.”
Viewers followed Mera’s relationship with Kody, 55, on TLC Sister wivesincluding Kody’s lack of interest in working on the relationship.
The couple took the step of a legal divorce in 2014 to allow Kody to marry his fourth wife, Robyn Brown, so he could adopt Robyn’s children from her previous marriage. Meri and Kody then decided to separate in January 2023 and she was granted an official dissolution of their spiritual marriage through the church.
