When Dannielle Merrifield said ‘I do’ to her husband, she never imagined that she would eventually be signing divorce papers so that he could marry someone else and she could become a sister wife. That, however, is exactly what happened. Dannielle and her now ex-husband, Garrick, have been sharing their journey on the TLC series Seeking Sister Wife, and they’ve gotten a lot of attention from fans. During the season, Dannielle and Garrick traveled to Mexico to meet their potential new wife, Roberta, and the trip brought out a lot of emotions for Dannielle. Although she initially told Garrick she was on board with the plan to expand their family, it quickly became clear that she isn’t as ready as she thought. Keep reading for 10 things you didn’t know about Dannielle Merrifield.
1. Seeking Sister Wife Is Her Only TV Experience
Being a reality TV star is something that is totally new to Dannielle. As far as we can tell, it doesn’t appear that Dannielle has ever been on any other TV show. It also seems very unlikely that she’ll pursue other opportunities once her time on Seeking Sister Wife is done.
2. She’s Originally From Wisconsin
Dannielle and Garrick currently live in Colorado, but according to her Facebook page, Dannielle is originally from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Despite being on a reality show, Dannielle is actually a pretty private person so we weren’t able to find much information on her personal life outside of what she’s shared on the show.
3. She May Be Single
If you’ve been watching this season of Seeking Sister Wife, you know that Dannielle and Garrick’s relationship is on thin ice. On the surface, it may look like she’s going along with everything Garrick wants, but underneath it seems like there’s only a matter of time before she decides to walk away. Apparently, that time may have come. While we don’t know the official status of Dannielle and Garrick’s relationships, some sources have suggested that they’ve gone their separate ways.
4. She’s Not Into Social Media
Since starting her journey on the show, there have probably been lots of people who have searched social media to learn more about Dannielle. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t have been able to find much. Although she has a Facebook account, her public posts are limited. She doesn’t have verified accounts on Instagram or Twitter.
5. She May Have Worked At The Family Business
Garrick and Dannielle seem to be doing okay for themselves financially, but the show has never explained what either of them does for work. Garrick owns a company called Merrifield Custom Builders and Landscaping, and there’s a good chance that Dannielle helps out with the business. Of course, if the rumors are true and they’re no longer together, she may have parted ways with the company as well.
