“I thought it was a joke” - Former MLB All-Star Jim Edmonds was once shocked by the news of his ex-wife Meghan King marrying President Joe Biden's nephew

Former MLB player and four-time All-Star Jim Edmonds filed for divorce from his ex-wife Meghan King in October 2019 after she accused him of having an extra-marital affair with their children's nanny, Carly Wilson.

The pair married in 2014, four years after Jim retired from Major League Baseball. Jim, who is a one-time World Series champion and a recipient of eight Gold Glove Awards, ultimately finalized his divorce from Meghan in May 2021.

Four months after Jim and Meghan's legal separation, King walked down the aisle once again, this time with Cuffe Owens, U.S. President Joe Biden's nephew.

In an interview with Brides last year, Meghan King said:

"Within a week, we were back on the East Coast, meeting his family, and starting to plan our future together. We didn’t leave each other’s side for weeks.”

Apparently, Meghan's marriage to Cuffe came as a surprise to Jim.

Initially, he thought Meghan was pregnant to marry in such haste. Jim reacted by saying:

"She called me to tell me she was getting married. It was the first I heard anything about it. I thought it was a joke – they’d been dating for about four weeks! I wondered, ‘Is she pregnant?’ But is it even possible to know that just four weeks after the first date?"

In an interesting turn of events, King and Owens called it quits in December 2021, within two months of getting hitched.

On September 25, he will be getting married to his fiancé Kortnie O'Connor in Lake Como, Italy.

Jim proposed to Kortnie in September 2021, and the pair is getting married exactly one year later.
