Meghan King Edmonds was spotted without her wedding ring on in a photo she shared in her Instagram Story earlier this week. The pic shows the former Real Housewives of Orange County star smiling while taking a selfie as her 2-year-old daughter, Aspen, also grins in the background.
Meghan captioned the photo, "Thank you @mulberryandking for forcing me to take care of myself and dress in the cutest clothes ever."
A source reveals the reason why Meghan is not wearing her wedding ring at the moment following her husband's cheating scandal.
"She's not wearing her ring right now as she navigates the rough waters of repairing her marriage," a source told E! News. "She's fully married to Jimmy and loves him deeply despite not wearing her ring right now."
The source adds, "Meghan is overwhelmed with all the support she has received from friends and fans."
The news comes after AllAboutTheTea.com reported that Jim cheated on his second wife, Allison Jayne Raski, with a woman who is allegedly referred to as the “baseball madame.” (The exes, who split in 2014, share two children.)
A source alleged that the two reconnected in March 2018 when Meghan was pregnant with the couple’s now 12-month-old twin sons, Hart and Hayes.
AllAboutTheTEA.com published explicit screenshots of text messages allegedly sent from Jim, including photos of his penis. The website further alleged that he sent a video of himself masturbating on the same day Meghan gave birth to their twins.
The blogger allegedly confronted the woman after finding out about her exchanges with Jim. The sports broadcaster procured a non-disclosure agreement with her, according to the website, reports Us Weekly.
As for Jim, he released a statement. “Regrettably, I had a lapse in judgment. I engaged in an inappropriate conversation with this person,” Jim told Us Weekly. “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.”
The retired baseball player went on to apologize. “Clearly, I made a very poor decision to expose myself and my family to this type of person. For this, I am truly sorry and sought forgiveness from my wife,” the statement continued. “I’m outraged over the intent to ruin my family and intend to take legal action. We were never having any problems in our marriage. My attorney is in possession of documents wherein this person has admitted fabricating large portions of her ‘story.’”
Jim reiterated that he “never had any sort of a physical relationship outside of my marriage with her or anyone else.”
As for Meghan, she reacted to the news via her personal blog, titled "I'm Sad," which was published on June 14. "Do I believe him? I don’t know. Because I don’t trust him anymore," she wrote. "Physical or not, he still had an affair and he admits this to me."
"I am a victim, but I am not defined by this. I need space to heal," she shared in the post. "Ultimately, I have hope our marriage can recover."
Meanwhile, Jim provided an update on their marriage in an interview with TMZ Sports last week, sharing that he and Meghan are "doing good." "We're just gonna have to work through it," he said.
