Meghan King Edmonds Doesn’t Want to Date a Man With Kids: That’s ‘Baggage’
No more stepmom! Meghan King Edmonds isn’t dating just yet, but when she does there is one thing she plans to steer clear of … men with kids.
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum has three children, daughter Aspen, 3, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 19 months, who she shares with her estranged husband, Jim Edmonds.
While she was married to the former athlete, 49, Meghan was stepmother to his four children: son Landon and daughter Sutton, whom he shares with ex-wife Allison Edmonds, and daughters Lauren, 26, and Hayley, 22, whose mother, LeeAnn Horton, died in July 2015.
Jim’s rep, meanwhile, shut down Meghan’s comment in an exclusive statement to Us Weekly. “I can’t help but wonder how Jim’s four children feel about being called baggage,” his rep said on Thursday, January 30, after Meghan’s interview aired.
While appearing on the “Juicy Scoop With Heather McDonald” podcast earlier last week, Meghan admitted that she doesn’t have a relationship with two of her estranged husband’s children.
“They are almost 14 and 11,” Meghan said of the former MLB player’s son Landon and daughter Sutton. “I have no contact with them. I’ve been blocked from their phone numbers, from their Instagrams. They’ve been told things, according to Jim, that I’ve never said.”
Despite her complicated divorce and dynamic with Jim, the Missouri native revealed on Wednesday that when it comes to her future man she’s knows what she wants. She’s looking for “loyalty, [a] solid family, solid upbringing, [and] solid career” to start.
“Someone who works, not a trust fund [baby],” she said. “You can have a trust fund that’s fine, but you have to work.”
She added: “I don’t want an athlete. I don’t want that to be how you made your living. Been there, done that.”
The “Intimate Knowledge” podcast host hasn’t jumped back into dating, but she isn’t ruling out love either.
Us broke the news in October 2019 that Jim filed for divorce from Meghan following allegations that he cheated on her with one of the couple’s former nannies, Carly Wilson. Both Jim and Wilson, 22, have denied the allegations.
The Bravo alum and Jim settled on 50/50 joint custody of their three children in November 2019.
