Critics of the reality show Seeking Sister Wife have been ridiculing Garrick Merrifield’s physical appearance, particularly his “dad bod,” after he was spotted with his family. Garrick, a father of three, was seen spending a day out with his wife, Dannielle Merrifield, and their children Geremiah, Solomon, and Leia. However, instead of focusing on the family outing, people couldn’t help but comment on Garrick’s noticeable physical changes.
Garrick has never been shy about showcasing himself on Seeking Sister Wife, often sporting revealing tank tops that have drawn mockery from fans in the past. Recently, he even shared a photo of himself lounging in a bathtub, which repulsed many of his followers. Viewers have often speculated that it is Dannielle who boosts Garrick’s ego, always making him feel better than he actually is, regardless of how he treats her.
It seems that Garrick and Dannielle have not had success in finding another sister wife. Roberta, their potential match from Season 5, decided not to come to America. They then pursued a relationship with Nathalia Lima, also from Brazil, but she did not connect with Dannielle. Despite this, Garrick still intended to marry Nathalia and flew to Brazil, but their plans were halted when it was discovered that he was a polygamist. In the midst of these events, Dannielle gave birth to their third child, and the family went on an outing. However, fans were shocked by the photos Garrick posted, as he appeared to have gained weight around his midsection.
A Reddit thread was initiated to discuss Garrick Merrifield’s body in these photos. The original poster jokingly referred to his physique as “manly.” Other fans of the TLC series also chimed in with critical comments:
- “Is he pregnant now because his tummy is bigger than his t*ts? I guess she meant dad bod.”
- “He gained Danielle’s baby weight.”
- “‘Manly body’?! He’s short with beer bloat.”
- “He always looks so bloated.”
- “Omgggg what happened to him?”
Criticism was not limited to Garrick alone. Dannielle also faced scrutiny for her clothing choices during the outing. Seeking Sister Wife fans believed that the couple needed to set a better example for their teenage sons, Geremiah and Solomon. While the boys knew how to dress modestly, Garrick seemed reluctant to give up his tight and revealing tank tops. Dannielle also received comments about her appearance, with compliments on her looks but criticism for wearing shorts that were deemed too short and tight.
Ultimately, personal comfort and self-acceptance should be the priority for Garrick and Dannielle, despite the opinions of others.
