After breaking up with fiancé Ian McKee a year after the show concluded, Meredith struggled with alcoholism, especially in the wake of losing both her parents within a few years of each other. Spurred by her brother's encouragement, the former model completed two months of inpatient rehab in 2012, and as of 2013 had six months of sobriety. She's since kept a low profile.

Meredith also found love with her high school sweetheart, if you can believe it. They reconnected and got married around the same time she got sober.
