Meghan King loses custody battle with Jim Edmonds after Child Protective Services investigation

Ryan Brennan | November 20, 2025

Meghan King has temporarily lost custody of her three kids with ex husband Jim Edmonds. 

The 41-year-old reality star, best known for her time on “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” shares three kids — daughter Aspen, 8, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 7 — with the former MLB player.

According to Us Weekly, a school employee filed a report with Child Protective Services several months ago — ultimately resulting in a CPS investigation against King. 

CPS decided to temporarily strip King of physical custody and grant her supervised visitation, instead. 

A hearing is reportedly scheduled for early December to determine whether the new custody agreement — which gives Edmonds sole physical custody of the kids — will become permanent, per Us Weekly.

Us Weekly was the first to report the news on Nov. 19. It was later confirmed by TMZ

Meghan King’s custody battle comes more than four years after she finalized her divorce with Edmonds.

The former couple started dating in 2013 and tied the knot in 2014 before splitting in 2019 and finalizing their divorce in May 2021, according to People. 

At that time, they settled on a 50/50 joint custody agreement — which King was “not happy” with, according to Us Weekly.

The recent CPS investigation also comes six months after King was involved in a police altercation. 

According to Us Weekly, Jim Edmonds’ wife, Kortnie (whom he married in 2022), called the police on King after she allegedly entered her ex-husband’s home without his or his wife’s permission.

King was reportedly at the home to drop off a dress for her daughter.

The police report, which was shared by Us Weekly, stated that King had contacted Edmonds and his wife about the drop off prior to showing up at the house. Once there, King insisted on talking to her daughter. 

Edmonds’ wife notified King that the father-daughter duo were at a baseball game and weren’t home. 

After being told to leave, King entered the house without permission and started yelling her daughter’s name before exiting the home. The police were later called and quickly de-escalated the situation. 

King wasn’t arrested or detained and Edmonds’ wife decided not to press any charges. 

Following the incident, Edmonds’ rep released a statement responding to body cam footage that showed King telling police officers that Edmonds was “emotionally abusive” while standing outside of his house. 

“Her and Jim barely communicate, so if someone is emotionally abusing her it’s not Jim. And she is not getting full custody; Jim is an active and present father to all his children,” the representative said.

"The unfortunate part of all this is that it’s the kids who suffer the most," the rep continued.

"Jim has always been willing to co-parent in a respectful and productive way however, Meghan has yet to reciprocate,” the statement added. “Jim has a long history of consistently making decisions and acting in a way that is best for his kids.”
