New Update: Leon Brown Secretly Gets Married To Partner Audrey Kriss- But Mom Meri And Dad Kody Skip Colorado Ceremony

SISTER Wives star Leon Brown has secretly wed partner Audrey Kriss without parents Meri and Kody present, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal. Leon – the only child of Meri and Kody Brown – got married nearly a year ago and has yet to officially announce the big news.

According to the marriage certificate, exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, Leon- who went by their former birth name Mariah at the time- tied the knot to longtime partner Audrey Kriss on Saturday, October 29, 2022. The couple appeared to have gotten married at a house in Colorado Springs, Colorado, per the address listed on the certificate.

The wedding was “self-solemnized,” meaning they did not use an officiant or judge, and instead got legally married by an agreement between themselves. On October 19, 2022, the duo went to the Denver County Clerk’s Office to apply for a marriage license.

The license and the certificate was just officially recorded in the clerk’s office on July 6, 2023. The timeline of events is interesting because Logan Brown – the son of Janelle and Kody – got married to fiancée Michelle Petty on October 22, 2022, and Leon and Audrey both attended.

A bunch of family members were at the Arizona ceremony including Kody’s exes Janelle and her kids and Christine and her children. Leon, 28, and Audrey, 27, got engaged in January 2019 at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. They dated for two years before getting engaged and had met each other while attending Westminster College. The couple announced they were moving to Denver in June 2022.

Leon's parents, Meri and Kody, were not present at the ceremony, a source told The U.S. Sun

MERI & KODY SKIP NUPTIALS

It is unclear who – if any – from Leon’s famous family attended their secret wedding, but The U.S. Sun can confirm Meri and Kody were not present. Meri was in Disneyland in Anaheim, California, at the time having a blast with a pal.

On October 29, she shared a quote from Walt Disney, “Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever,” and wrote, “A day at Disneyland never disappoints! Resting those feet for another full day tomorrow!”

Kody, who is based in Flagstaff, Arizona, with his now-last standing wife Robyn, also skipped the nuptials, a source confirmed. The insider told The U.S. Sun: “Kody has not supported Leon’s transition. He’s very much estranged from them.”

Although Kody is not active on social media, Meri has been showing support for her child in the last few months. On July 15, the reality star shared a selfie with Leon and captioned it: “Best part of today. That is all. @leointhemountains.”

Leon and Audrey got engaged in January 2019 and moved to Denver in June 2022

She also commented on one of Leon’s recent Instagram posts. Leon told their followers: “feeling gay, trans, grateful, HOME. reminder that trans people cannot be legislated out of existence. we will keep being born, keep living, keep thriving, & finding our joy… being trans is a gift, one i love very much.”

Meri responded: “And you are my gift, one I love very much.” The U.S. Sun has reached out to Kody and Meri’s rep for comment.

SHARING THE TRUTH

Days before Leon and Audrey tied the knot, they both posted messages mid-October and then were inactive on social media for months.

Audrey posted on National Coming Out Day: “just a lil reminder that you don’t need to be openly out to be valid. & you are so loved… this is my first national coming out day since I came out openly as trans and I am so grateful and happy to be here.” They did not return to Instagram until December 31. For Leon, they posted on October 13 about the “little moments” in life and seeing “the deepest glimmers of my fullest self in the liminality.”

Meri has recently shown support for Leon and Audrey

They did not return to IG until January 1 when they shared a TikTok recapping “my what a year.” Leon came out as transgender in June 2022. They shared the news to their followers at the time: “Someone recently told me that i didn’t have to have all of my s–t figured out in order for me to share myself with the world. “So here’s me, definitely not having almost any of my s–t figured out, to let you know that I am trans. My name is Leon or Leo (i love both) and my pronouns are they/them.”

In January of this year, Leon showed their gender-affirming top surgery on TikTok after coming out as trans. The following month, Leon’s half-sibling, Gwendlyn – who is the daughter of Kody and Christine – informed fans that Leon was “separating” from the family to feel safe.
