Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King and ex-husband Jim Edmonds have avoided a messy court battle by settling their custody issues out of court. The agreement comes after a temporary loss of custody for Meghan amid allegations of giving unprescribed medication to one of their sons. Both sides are prioritizing the kids, according to Jim's rep.
Oh honey, the drama in ex-ville just took a civilized turn! Meghan King, that fiery RHOC vet, and her former flame Jim Edmonds have called off their custody hearing and hashed out a deal that's all about the little ones. Jim's rep, Steve Honig, spilled to TMZ: “The custody hearing has been called off, and both sides have reached an agreement that is in the best interests of the children.” 🙌
This tea-steaming settlement follows a wild twist where Meghan temporarily lost custody of their three kids—twins Hart and Hayes, plus daughter Aspen. The trigger? Allegations that she gave 6-year-old Hayes Ritalin multiple times, even though the kid doesn't have an ADHD diagnosis. She reportedly asked a school nurse to help administer it, which kicked off a Child Protective Services investigation. Yikes! But now, it seems like that's all fading into the sunset, with the custody drama officially on ice.
Flashback for the full sip: Meghan and Jim tied the knot back in 2014, only to split in 2019 after his cheating scandal blew up their fairy tale. They've been co-parenting under a joint custody setup since May 2021, but things got heated enough for this recent showdown. Reps for Meghan haven't chimed in yet, leaving us hanging on her side of the story. Page Six broke the news first, because of course they did.
Is this the end of the baby mama battles, or just a timeout before round two? Stay tuned, darlings—these two know how to keep us guessing. 🔥
