Via US Weekly:
Money war. Jim Edmonds’ rep responded after Meghan King Edmonds contested the terms of the estranged couple’s prenup amid their divorce.
“Jim’s prenuptial agreement is valid, enforceable and generous, and we fully expect it to be upheld,” the former MLB player’s rep said in a statement to Us Weekly. “Meghan and her attorney reviewed the agreement several weeks before the wedding and agreed to the terms. Meghan herself has publicly explained the agreement was done at her urging because she didn’t want Jim’s family to think she was trying to take his money.”
The statement continued, “Jim is voluntarily paying Meghan more than three times the amount of child support required by court guidelines. He is letting her live in one of his homes in St. Louis and is paying the mortgage and all the bills for that house. He gives her money for a nanny and housekeeper. He pays for almost every single expense related to the children. And he pays half the rent on her Los Angeles beach house. Jim has been beyond generous to Meghan and provides full financial support for his children.”
In response, the Real Housewives of Orange County alum told Us, “I’m looking forward to putting this behind me amicably, and I don’t wish to discuss the private details of my divorce at this time.”
On a 2015 episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, Meghan explained why she agreed to sign a prenup with the former MLB player.
‘Way before we ever got engaged, I suggested him getting a prenup to protect his feelings about our marriage, about where my heart is coming from,’ she said.
‘And honestly, a big part of the reason, totally aside from the whole marriage thing, why I wanted it is to protect the children because I never wanted the children’s mothers or the children to think that me as their stepmom or as this new person in their life was going to take things from them.’
There were rumors of that Jim had been unfaithful with the family nanny Carly Wilson, something both have denied.
