‘Seeking Sister Wife’ Update: Lorrana Appears to Still Be Living With the Merrifields After Garrick’s Arrest
After Garrick Merrifield’s arrest on November 24, 2025, fans of TLC’s Seeking Sister Wife wondered if they’d see some changes within the Merrifield family.
The father of four faces a misdemeanor charge related to obstructing a telephone service, reports TMZ. The court ordered Garrick to reside outside of the family home in Buena Vista, Colorado, until legal proceedings were sorted out. Does this mean Lorrana is rethinking her life as a second wife in the United States? Her recent social media post hints that little has changed for the Merrifield family.
Garrick Merrifield’s November arrest
Garrick’s misdemeaous charge has spurred many reactions from the Seeking Sister Wife community. Some voiced support for Lorrana and criticized Merrifield. Others suggested the arrest may reflect deeper issues in their family dynamics.
A protective order was allegedly issued barring Garrick from contacting Lorrana, and there are ongoing questions about Lorrana’s immigration security, especially as she and Garrick share a child. Both Garrick and his first (legally former) wife, Dannielle, reportedly removed many photos of Lorrana from social accounts. Neither has posted anything new since before the arrest.
Lorrana shares an update with baby Sarah and the Merrifields
On December 30, 2025, Lorrana posted on Instagram for the first time in nearly two weeks. Other photos she shared after Garrick’s arrest didn’t provide context regarding where she is residing or with whom. This recent post, however, shows Lorrana in the Merrifield home in Chaffee County, Colorado. In the photo, Lorrana smiles alongside Garrick and Dannielle‘s young daughter, Leia. Lorrana has a yellow burp cloth resting on her shoulder as she holds her baby, Sarah, who’s dressed in pink and asleep next to her half-sister.
The adorable photo shows the trio looking content as Lorrana captions it (translated from Portuguese), “Two girls, one endless love. Remembering how much Leia doesn’t dislike Sarah since she was born: grabs her lap, hugs, kisses… it’s love that can’t be contained! I’m pretty sure these two will be best friends forever.”
As Seeking Sister Wife fans on Reddit point out, baby Sarah looks notably smaller and younger than she would be now, so this could be an older picture. Another observation: Garrick liked the post, which could mean that the couple has settled things and is living together again.
While Garrick’s legal situation remains unresolved, Lorrana’s update offers a quiet but telling snapshot of the family’s situation. The photo suggests that the parents are focusing on their children amid ongoing uncertainty. For fans watching closely, it raises as many questions as it answers. The future of the Merrifield family, both on and off screen, might be very much up in the air.
