"There was no threat, which is why Meghan did not need any orders of protection" - Former All-Star Jim Edmonds' rep clears the air after ex-wife Meghan King dropped restraining orders months after filing them

Former MLB star Jim Edmonds' ex-wife Meghan King has withdrawn both of the protective orders she had issued against him. PEOPLE magazine confirmed that King’s attorney has dropped both the protective orders—one against Edmonds and one for a kid, which was asked for but not granted.

Following the dismissal, Edmonds' representative, Steve Honig, gave PEOPLE magazine an exclusive statement on behalf of Edmonds.

“There was no threat, which is why Meghan did not need any orders of protection."

Edmonds recently married Kortnie O’Connor. Referring to her, Edmonds issued another statement, which was shared by his rep.

“Jim is looking forward to putting all this nonsense behind him as he begins his new life with Kortnie and continues to focus on the needs of his children.”

King also spoke to PEOPLE and shared:

"As I continue to heal I've become enlightened and more aware of what I've been through and how to handle it. Let's just say I'll remain protected and safe with a binding document not accessible to the public.”

Here are some pictures from Edmond and Connor’s wedding at Villa d’Este.

The duo announced their engagement in August 2021.

"We are so blessed to have our family and each other. Kortnie and I would like to wish all of you Happy Holidays." – Jim Edmonds

Edmonds, who was renowned for his defense, was a powerful hitter as well. Fans of the St. Louis Cardinals call him "Jimmy Baseball," "Jimmy Ballgame," and "The Jibmaster" with affection.
