However, she also has to get used to her new plural life with her sister-wife Roberta. Now is probably not the best time for Garrick to crack a joke and fans were certainly angry with him.

As Seeking Sister Wife fans know, this season is like a cross-over with 90 Day Fiance. This is because the only way Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield can welcome Roberta to the US is via a K-1 visa. The K-1 visa is a spousal visa that requires a couple to marry before moving into the country. To be able to do this, Garrick and Dannielle had to divorce.

Now Garrick and Dannielle have gone through the divorce process, they are ready to welcome Brazilian beauty Roberta into the family. On the TLC reality show, Garrick and Dannielle explained how important this was for the three of them.

It looked like Dannielle was excited to spend time with her sister-wife, Roberta and her husband. Seeking Sister Wife fans were surprised to see the two women seemingly getting along well together. However, problems appeared when Garrick decided to spend most of his time with his new wife. Dannielle was deeply upset by this, as she expected him to share his time equally between the two women.

On his part, Garrick was seemingly oblivious and was excited to spend time with his two wives on the trip. He does his best to get along with Roberta and to make her comfortable in the new plural marriage. However, it looks like Garrick is fonder of Roberta than he is of Dannielle. This led to Merrifield making the controversial statement. He claimed that Roberta was his “petite wife,” while Dannielle was his “large wife.” Fans are unsure what he exactly means by that, but they certainly didn’t like it.
