'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Meghan King Edmonds and Jim Edmonds split after 5 years of marriage
Meghan King Edmonds and her husband Jim Edmonds have called it quits after five years of being married.
According to sources reported by US Weekly, Jim filed for divorce on Friday, October 25. This comes just a day after the estranged couple's fifth wedding anniversary, when the two got into an argument and police had to be called.
"Meghan and Jim have been fighting," a source shared with the outlet. "The latest fight began when he went to a recent hockey game and she began interrogating him about who he went with."
The source added that Meghan had also accused Jim of having an "affair" with their kids' nanny.
The 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star and her former baseball pro estranged husband got married in October 2014 and share two-year-old daughter Aspen and 16-month-old twin boys Hayes and Hart.
News of the couples' split comes just months after Jim, a former St. Louis Cardinals player, was caught in a text message scandal. He was exposed for sending inappropriate messages dated back when Meghan was pregnant with the couples' twins.
"I engaged in an inappropriate conversation with this person," Jim said in an exclusive statement to Us at the time. "At no time was there any type of relationship or physical contact. Absolutely none. This is someone trying to profit from my name. I am aware she has done this to others in the past."
As for Meghan, she has shared her sentiments on the situation on a blog post, where she claimed she wasn't going to be able to trust Jim following the scandal.
"Marriage is hard, we've been through our ups and downs, I've talked about it openly. A relationship takes two but it doesn't take two to cheat," Meghan wrote on June 14, just a day after Jim gave his statement.
"I did nothing wrong, I don't deserve this. I did nothing except be pregnant with our twins and try to have a healthy pregnancy. So what is so broken in him to propel him to do this to me? To us? It wasn’t one mistake, one lapse in judgment."
"I saw the texts – each one represents his decision to throw our marriage in the trash. Why did he self-sabotage? And who sends nudies? Doesn’t everyone know better than this in 2019? What drives someone to self-destruct in such a way?"
Despite current developments, back then Meghan had seemed hopeful that the marriage could overcome the crisis. "Marriage is a choice on the bad days. And on the good days, marriage is easy and beautiful," her blog continued, and she added: "No one said it would be easy, I just didn't think it would be this hard."
