Thanksgiving Plans for Meghan King’s Children Following Custody Shift

Meghan King, former star of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," will celebrate Thanksgiving with her children this year, though under unique circumstances following a court decision. Sources confirm King has been granted supervised visitation rights with her three children on Tuesdays and Thursdays, limiting her access for the holiday.

This recent custody change stems from allegations surrounding King’s parenting abilities, following a series of legal disputes with ex-husband Jim Edmonds. Records show their relationship has been tumultuous since their 2019 divorce, which included multiple court filings regarding child custody. In April 2020, Edmonds filed for full custody, a move that marked a significant shift in their co-parenting dynamic.

For this upcoming Thanksgiving, King plans to spend the holiday with her children under the supervision of a court-appointed monitor due to these ongoing legal restrictions. According to sources, this marks the third year in which the custody arrangement for King and Edmonds' children has shifted, following a previous arrangement that granted King equal custody for several months.

In the 2021 custody agreement, the parties initially agreed to share joint custody. However, differences regarding parenting decisions led to further legal battles, with Edmonds expressing concerns about King’s ability to supervise their children during visits.

Industry observers note that this situation mirrors the custody challenges faced by other reality television stars, such as Kendra Wilkinson and her former partner, Hank Baskett, who dealt with similar public custody issues following their split in 2018. Both celebrities struggled to find balance and maintain their parental roles amid ongoing media scrutiny.

In addition to her custody challenges, King is actively working on her professional career as a podcast host and influencer. She recently launched a lifestyle-focused podcast, positioning herself to reach her audience with discussions on parenting, relationships, and personal growth.

Looking ahead, King is expected to continue her advocacy for greater transparency around co-parenting issues, sharing her experiences through social media platforms. She previously used Instagram to communicate her thoughts on family dynamics, fostering a supportive community among parents.

As King and Edmonds navigate this ongoing custody arrangement, it remains clear that their relationship will continue to influence their children's futures. Industry insiders will watch closely to see if this Thanksgiving visit leads to adjustments in family dynamics or further legal developments.
