Seeking Sister Wife viewers doubt Roberta still wants to come to the U.S. with Dannielle and Garrick
Will Roberta follow through with her plan to move to the U.S. to be with Garrick and Dannielle? Pic credit: @garrickmerrifield/Instagram
Seeking Sister Wife viewers are doubtful that Roberta will follow through with her plan to move to the U.S. to join Dannielle and Garrick Merrifield’s plural marriage.
This season on Seeking Sister Wife, Garrick and Dannielle were finally able to travel to Brazil to meet Roberta after months of limited communication.
It has been the Merrifields’ dream for Roberta to leave her life in South America behind and join them in Colorado as a polygamist family.
Although last week’s episode looked promising, with Roberta finally booking her ticket to the U.S., this week’s episode put doubt in the Merrifields’ and Seeking Sister Wife viewers’ minds.

Seeking Sister Wife viewers believe some of Roberta’s recent actions are proof that she is no longer in a polygamous relationship with Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield.
Dannielle and Garrick, one of the polygamous couples to appear on Season 4 of Seeking Sister Wife, have been dating Roberta with the hopes of her becoming Garrick’s second wife and Dannielle’s sister wife.
The distance between them – Garrick and Dannielle live in Colorado and Roberta hails from Brazil – has been a deterrent in getting Roberta to America, as have health issues and the coronavirus pandemic.
During last week’s episode of Seeking Sister Wife, Dannielle and Garrick flew to Brazil to meet with Roberta in the hopes that she would agree to purchase a plane ticket to return to the U.
