Meghan King Opens Up About Coparenting With Jim Edmonds: ‘We’ve Come a Long Way’

Transcript

00:00 When did you feel like you were able to make that switch to kind of turn off that negativity?

00:04 Did something happen to kind of like spark that for you?

00:08 Yeah, for me, I mean, it was when my ex-husband and I initially split.

00:12 And that was, it was very public and it was nasty and public.

00:16 And that's not a healthy way to deal with, I don't think,

00:20 with any sort of traumatic situation in one's life.

00:22 And yet, and it came on really quickly too.

00:25 So I'm like, how do I like deal with this and raise the kids and deal with COVID?

00:29 And my kids, you know, health issues, there's a lot all at once.

00:32 No, I feel like, I mean, working here, I felt like every single day we were

00:37 seeing something kind of new play out. But I feel like over the last few months,

00:41 it's kind of died out a little bit. Is that true?

00:43 Okay. Yeah. And I think that's by design a little bit. I was, you know, I don't want to be

00:48 that, that like drama person in the news all the time. That's really not who I am either.

00:55 And so I'm a sophisticated professional mother and real estate agent and influence and entrepreneur.

01:04 And I want to be able to show showcase that even if it means me not being in the press as much,

01:08 that's a positive thing for me.

01:10 Yeah. So in the press, everything is good behind the scenes. How are things with you and Jim?

01:14 Oh, things are, they're good. Okay. Yeah. We've come a long way.

01:19 You've come a long way. Okay. That's great.

01:23 So where are we in like custody issues? The last time you spoke out, there was like

01:28 trying to figure out whether or not it was 50 50, if it was still 80 20, where are we kind of?

01:32 Yeah. So we're splitting custody right now. And, um, yes, things seem to be good. I gave,

01:39 I gave my kids Apple IDs, which you can do by the way, like you can still be kind of the mom

01:44 and they can have an Apple ID that's totally restricted. And so by doing that now I'm able

01:48 to FaceTime with them and communicate when they're with their dads. So it's, it's been

01:53 smoother sailing, but I think it's also because they're older too, you know, life stages change,

01:58 you know, situations too. So, um, yeah, but like, I mean, as long as we're co-parenting,

02:03 that's the ultimate thing that really matters.

02:05 Definitely. Are you co-parenting in a way where the two of you communicate or are you

02:08 still communicating through?

02:10 We, no, we were working on it. Yeah. There's been progress.

02:14 Good. Did you ever feel like you would kind of get to that point?

02:17 Never, never, never, never, not in a million years. Yeah. And we still have a ways to go,

02:22 but I'm confident that, uh, that we'll get there.
