In an honest confession, Meghan King Edmonds opened up about the difficult decision of circumcising her and Jim Edmonds’ twin sons, Hart and Hayes. Accepting it in an 'Intimate Knowledge' podcast with Brooke Burke, shes said: “I did it!”

“My partner was a professional baseball player. He was like, ‘Well in the locker room, I don’t want him to be made fun of.’ I was like, ‘You’re the dad. You do have 50 percent choice in this,’” she added.  

Talking about how it was “really hard” for the former reality star to go ahead with the decision, she said, “We lived in 2018 at the time. We know how to clean ourselves we have showers and hygiene. Why would I do this to my child? He’s, like, a little baby… There’s no reason to manipulate your baby boy’s body like that. I don’t like that. It makes me sad.” She also admitted that it left her “upset.” 

She also said how she was concerned about the lack of numbing — “except topically” — and worried about the “long-term psychological effects” it could have on her now-19-month-old sons. “Is this why maybe men are more aggressive?” Edmonds wondered.

She also has a three-year-old daughter, Aspen, with her estranged husband and the divorced couple has been co-parenting their three kids since their October split. Shedding light on raising their kids, she said she has "high hopes" in a Us Weekly interview, “I think the new year especially, and the new decade, is a great way to kind of launch positive thinking and the law of attraction.” 

Jim filed for divorce on October 25, days after their fifth wedding anniversary and went on to deny rumors that he cheated on Meghan with one of their nannies, Carly Wilson. The pair then settled on 50/50 custody in November.
