Today one of my readers commented very positively about Jim Edmonds with regard to his children with Megan King. I have been led to believe by Megan’s online presence that she lives in Orange County. I have a good source on this information and as it turns out she lives in Saint Louis in a house owned by Jim Edmonds.
Jim spends a lot of time with his children. And this makes the fact that Megan failed to mention the recent diagnosis that Hart has cerebral palsy a bit disturbing. My readers feel like the kids are with Jim more often than not. If I recall correctly (and frankly my recollection sucks at this point) her family lives in St Louis.
Do We Know The Whole Story?
The reason I thought she lived in California is apparently that is where her boyfriend lives. In the past I have read that when Jim goes to drop off the kids (a sign I should have realized she lives there) there have been times according to Jim that she was out of town and the kids would be with a nanny or her mother. I’m not sure what to make of this. Mainly, because this is not a story that interested me much until today. I didn’t really understand what was going on because Megan makes it seem like she is constantly taking the one child for treatment.
I feel like we may have underestimated things. Megan is still living in the old house that Jim owns according to my exclusive source. And I think we were too focused on the fact that Jim’s new partner is living in the house that Megan designed for herself. We should probably take a second look at this. It also explains why Jim has threatened to go for full custody. Thanks to my St. Louis commenters who made me look into this situation more deeply.
Wherever the truth lies, it is a sad situation, and I feel like perhaps we are being mislead. We can all agree that we with the very best for Hart and his siblings and hope that a great parenting plan is in place.
Thanks for this hot tea, TT!!!
I follow Megan on Instagram and she is always transparent about the fact that she lives in St. Louis in that house. It’s part of the divorce agreement. Jim is trying to make her look bad right now in every way possible. The home he is in with his girlfriend, he and Megan designed together for their family. Their divorce isn’t final yet, so he’s getting worried about his precious money.
She had some sort of rebuttal to Jim’s claim that she was never around. I think she said it was one trip and she offered to have Jim keep them but he refused so her mom helped for a day. I don’t think that’s a huge deal, but to be honest they are both so angry I don’t really trust either of their stories. Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.
Also, Jim is going around to church and other places without a mask because he “doesn’t have to wear one”. He got coronavirus already, who knows when he’ll lose his immunity and potentially get it again. When people comment on it he tells them to mind their own business. So I’m not sure I’m so quick to side with him either.
They both seem to be fine parents from what I can tell. For some ridiculous reason I follow them both on instagram (okay I’ll be honest I started following them to see pics of their gorgeous house). But can find issues with both.
I agree with you about the truth being in the middle. I don’t like him. I think he’s extremely arrogant. I am undecided on Megan. She seems very hands on w/the medical care, the research involved, etc, but she does seem strategic with some of the things she posts, the timing of it, etc. I understand that all is fair in love & war and divorces get nasty, but I can kind of see her having a vindictive side.
Mask Deniers are my new, most hated group of people. Nothing says ‘fuck you’ to logic and humanity than refusing to wear a mask. And COVER your fucking nose when wearing a mask! It’s not a chin diaper you fucking moron!
Hear, Hear!!👏👏
PREACH!!!! ❤️
This! ^^^^^^
I tell those idiots that it’s the same thing as wearing a bandaid over your mouth.
Wow, TT! I guess that does all make sense! His lawyers said that he is paying for two houses for her while the divorce is pendin. So maybe she has places in both cities?
WHEW! This is some hot tea. I’m waiting with bated breath about what will happen next…
I DON’T WANNA BREAK THE RULES, just adding to the discussion, and my memory is foggy, but I recall in interviews Megan had alluded to the divorce and custody battle. Apparently she wanted Jim to cover more of her own expenses since she cannot have a 9-5 job due to traveling all over the place for Hart’s care in addition to caring for her other kids. Jim’s people said no, since Jim pays for the St.Louis house she lives in, all its bills, and some sort of small cash support for the kids and the costs of their health care. Megan blasted him on social media because she allegedly had to cover the rental homes, flights, food, etc for herself and the kids while she was in different states getting medical treatment for Hart. When Jim said that she leaves the kids with nannies/her mom, Megan said that she has to schedule her work while the kids are with Jim, and sometimes her work and custody days overlap, and this wouldn’t be happening if Jim would help cover her personal expenses (i.e eliminating her need to work) since she is the primary caretaker in terms of taking Hart to appointments and accompanying him into his treatment sessions.
This is all a mess. I pray that they both find peace and co-parent for the sake of their children. Jim not knowing about Hart’s CP is odd. But it seems that they cannot get along enough to attend important appointments together.
That sounds terrible.
He’s your stereotypical athlete. Arrogant, demeaning to his woman in front of people, a couple (three total?) baby mamas, and a few failed marriages. He’s always made my skin crawl. But she knew his history and shit personality, and still fell for him.
They need to focus on their kids and quit trying to one-up each other. I do think Megan is a good Mom though. I can only imagine how complicated and distressing it would be when your child has health issues/delays. I wish their cute little boy the best.
I was following both for awhile (I had to stop MKE) and my understanding is that Meghan lives in St. Louis in their old house, that Jim owns. Hart needed intensive, daily therapy in California so she took all three kids there and has/had a townhouse which he also pays for. I feel like it was a rental as she was buying cheap IKEA toys, high hairs etc and covering the white couches with blankets. She had a nanny with her, but complained she was quarantined alone with three kids. Jim made a comment that he didn’t know she was staying for such a long period during Covid and she says he did know. At some point in California she was set up with the current boyfriend who lives in Utah but does business in CA. They did text/FaceTime during the height of Covid and then met IRL. He owns some survival gear company that basically sells Zombie apocalypse kits in backpacks. So she was flying back and forth to Utah and became this outdoor adventure girl with a Chanel waist bag/purse/fanny pack. This is where I ejected from her world as she’s back and forth, with kids and without and he’s coming to St. Louis and all this is being documented heavily on IG, as she’s suddenly a nature nut auditioning to be a Girl Scout leader. I have no idea who’s covering her travel costs, but it seems exhausting and I really don’t know how she’s juggling Utah and St. Louis, three kids and Hart’s medical needs. This is where Jim likely has a valid point.
I still follow Jim and yes, sometimes it’s crazy parties and drinking and showing off his house (wouldn’t we all), but when he has any of his kids he seems involved; concerts and Grandpa with the adults girls, baseball and cheer for his middle kids and hanging out with the younger ones. I have to say the little ones are always dressed well and their hair is brushed when they’re with him! He does post a lot of the kids with his girlfriend, but so does Meghan with her boyfriend, so at this point it feels like a game. Not a huge fan and think they both need to grow up.
And with that, I’m ashamed that I followed long enough to know all this and for my first post on TT….I hope I don’t die on the hill of Edmonds vs King.
spot on “jax”. I unfollowed her as well months ago because her page went from being light hearted and fun to suddenly non stop #ads and this newfound mountain girl and it just wasnt fun to look at anymore.
I totally agree Jim has had his not so proud moments(everyone has), but If what he said is true about meghan not sharing this medical situation with him about Hart, i almost find that just as bad and shameful.
Im sure its a kick in the butt to meghan to see Kortnie, his girlfriend literally moving the rest of her stuff into the AMAZING walk in closet yesterday but he DOES have the right to be happy, as does his girlfriend. she seems like a really nice woman and is great to those kids as well.
in the end, all that matters is those kids are happy and healthy and treated well and Jimmy has never shown anything otherwise (to the public)
JAX This was a very informative post! Thanks! Hope to hear a lot more from you!
Oh whew. I definitely went over the 5 paragraph rule 😬. Sorry. Maybe posting at 1:37am isn’t a good idea.
Jax, awesome post! Please contribute more!
She has taken the kid to ca for his treatments and others cities as well, but mainly ca. However, she lives in st. Louis and that is her main base. Her boyfriend lives in utah or something so they visit each other a lot when she doesn’t have the kids.
Her boyfriend lives in Utah. She’s posted that several times when staying at his house that it’s in Utah. She was in OC for her podcast pre COVID and during some of it. She lives in Saint Louis with the kids. She does just as much traveling as Jim does if less if you follow both their accounts. Hopefully they can figure this coparenting out and stop trying to get a rise out of the other one.
Piping hot tea with honey & lemon. Thanks T.T
😀
Jim should make it part of their divorce settlement that she has to provide written notes from the doctor after every doctors appointment. If she really put her child’s medical information on social media before discussing it with their father, that is just messed up. It does seem like she is doing everything possible to provide her son with the best medical care, but they have got to communicate with each other. It seems like neither one feels respected by the other.
I’ve been saying this all along and I got slammed for it. She likes to pose with her kids for “likes” but the real parent is Jim. He’s a terrible husband but not a bad father. Remember after Megan had the first one, she wasn’t very keen on the whole mommy thing. She thought that being a mom was having a live doll to play dress up with. She’s in love with the idea of being a mom.
Well, you know, slamming you is kind of a hobby. 🙂 LOL Just kidding. You are my favorite person to disagree with… BUT IT SEEMS WE HAVE COME TO A PLACE OF AGREEMENT! (probably because you know… I might have been a little bit… um wrooo wron… wrong. 🙂
Awe! Thanks for the complement, I think😏I don’t think I’ve ever said it but this place of yours makes me feel like I’m not alone in my craziness.
I never cared for either of them when they were on HW’s. I wish they would quit trashing each other publicly and concentrate on what is best for their kids.
These two people are so boring – why am I still reading about them? Why am I commenting? Let’s find new better bravo-lebrities to dissect. SLC Housewives? Anything???
Why is it that every time a couple with small children gets divorced, we have to call one of them an inadequate parent and declare the other the superior parent? Why is it that the inadequate one is usually the mom, and the reason for her inadequacy is because she has a life?
Misogyny is still going strong. Mothers are vilified for ever leaving their children with a sitter after a divorce, but it’s perfectly acceptable for a father to maintain a busy work and social schedule and to immediately move another woman in and have her around the kids.
Neither parties are on drugs, neglecting the children or being abusive to the children. Both seem to love their kids but also have lives outside of their children, which is perfectly healthy. Frankly, after several quick weddings and divorces, it appears to me that Jim has some sort of codependency issue, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad father, just a bad partner.
St. Louis is very small and insular and everyone knows everyone’s business. This is what I know.
Megan is obviously very disappointed with her house as it’s 2600 sq ft on a very tiny lot in a great family neighborhood but it’s not exclusive at all. She bought the house for $800k.
Seeing that she has three kids and Jim’s second wife has two, surely Megan had hoped her place would be on par, if not larger, than Allison’s place.
While Megan was married for five years and has three kids (one with special needs); Allison has two kids and married for six years.
Allison lives in a top-tier neighborhood in a house that is over 5000 sq ft, inground swimming pool, the house is easily worth $1.5 million.
Jim Edmonds and Allison used to live next door to StL Blues hockey star Chris and Lauren Pronger. Allison and Lauren were tight! Jim & Chris were also very close.
Now Lauren is besties with Megan. The fact that Lauren & Chris (who are focusing on their boutique travel agency) are Team Megan is more about how Megan’s friendship is more advantageous due to Megan’s social media presence.
But all of Allison’s A-list pals, also including announcer Joe Buck & his wife Michelle, have dropped both Jim and Allison for Megan.
But can Megan keep up with this moneyed crowd?
It hurts that Megan can no longer host from the $6M house she built with Jim nor can she greet her friends at Jim’s lake house in Idaho.
Megan never really worked before. She is very open that the $800k Kirkwood house is her first house she ever owned. She dabbled in pharma sales but she was never that devoted to her career nor was she making a decent income. Keep in mind she married right out of college and her plan was to be a Mrs. and stay home.
She really wanted to make the relationship with
Christian work. She wanted to re-marry wealth and the guy definitely does well.
She is tall, thin, blonde from old money connections but that’s about it. She will keep her social media presence alive as it’s her only ticket to upgrade her lifestyle. It’s particularly difficult in traditional StL to be in the A-list moneyed crowd when you are single and living modestly in a $800k house in Kirkwood.
I also agree with Kxtina that Megan is all about keeping up appearances. She is completely correct that Jim is an involved dad and that Megan is more concerned about flying to LA for therapy bc LA helps her career! Funny how LA is the only place where her son can have his therapy? Hmm.
