Meghan King Loses Temporary Custody in Medication Probe

Meghan King, a former star of The Real Housewives of Orange County, has temporarily lost physical custody of her three young children to her ex-husband, former Major League Baseball player Jim Edmonds, following a Child Protective Services investigation prompted by concerns over unprescribed medication.

The children—an 8-year-old daughter, Aspen, and 7-year-old twin sons, Hart and Hayes—were removed from King's care in late October 2025, around Halloween, after a school employee reported the issue to authorities. According to sources familiar with the matter, the investigation stemmed from King allegedly administering Ritalin, an ADHD medication, to one of her sons multiple times without a doctor's prescription. King also reportedly asked a school nurse to give the medication to the child, which led to the CPS report. A court-appointed guardian ad litem for the children then sought a temporary restraining order against King, resulting in the custody change. King now has supervised visitation rights twice a week, while Edmonds holds sole physical custody. The arrangement remains temporary, with a hearing scheduled for early December 2025 to decide on a more permanent resolution.
