"They got married on my birthday. It was the greatest gift anyone could have given me" - Meghan King calls her ex-husband Jim Edmonds' fourth marriage the "best birthday gift"

Former MLB star Jim Edmonds tied the knot with Kortnie O’Connor on September 25 in Italy. Edmonds' ex-wife Meghan King thinks it’s the “best birthday gift” for her. Regarding Edmonds’ fourth marriage, speaking to E! News, the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star said:

"They got married on my birthday. It was the greatest gift anyone could have given me. Tie that man up and take him away. Float off into the ether of your beautiful fantasyland happiness and just leave me alone, please."

King also disclosed that she cringed at the news headlines featuring her name after Edmonds married O’Connor.

"I saw the pictures. I'll get Google alerts for my name and so all these articles are like ‘Meghan King's ex Jim Edmonds gets married,' which I'm like, 'Oh, I'm sure he's really loving that.' Or how it's like ‘Meghan King's ex Jim Edmonds marries threesome partner.' Not the greatest headlines for them."

King and Edmonds were married for five years before they called it quits in 2019.
