"A lot of people tell me I'm strong," the 34-year-old recently told Folio Vi. "I don't want to be stiff anymore.

Meghan's woes were far from what she expected from matrimony, because her parents, Julie and Kevin Rex, served equally an case of a happy couple.
"They're soulmates," Meghan explained. "In virtually means, it's amazing and awesome to accept them as examples, only in other ways, it'southward difficult, considering it's actually not the picture of reality for nigh people."
Growing upwardly the oldest of four children in a political family — both her maternal and paternal grandfathers were congressmen in the Missouri Business firm of Representatives — Meghan "always loved going to school every day," she said. "I was proud of my relationships with my teachers and classmates, and I was proud of being well-rounded."
At 18, she was accepted into the University of Mississippi to report civil engineering on a fractional bookish scholarship. But at five feet xi inches with a naturally slim figure, she decided to endeavour professional modeling and took a semester off to work in Milan.
"I hated it," she said. "It taught me that I wanted to utilize my brain to brand a living and non my looks. Modeling is full objectification — especially back in those days … It felt like all these girls were and so desperate to get out of their countries. I had opportunities in the U.s., and I could do anything I wanted to without smiling for a photographic camera."
Subsequently only a few months abroad, Meghan returned to the University of Mississippi to complete her caste, this time in marketing. While at school, she roughshod in beloved with a classmate named Brad McDill, who was getting his law caste.
"I got married literally the July after I graduated from UMiss," Meghan said. She was but 22 years quondam.
"I was likewise young. I didn't fifty-fifty know myself," she explained. "I wanted to be similar my parents' perfect matrimony. I simply thought I was going to have the aforementioned love story, because why not? I've done everything else like my parents, then why wouldn't it work out?"
The couple lived together in St. Louis for a few years, but were legally separated by Oct 2011 and before long subsequently finalized their divorce after four years of marriage.
Co-ordinate to Meghan, the split was "very amicable and easy" as they had no children.
At 26, Meghan was divorced and dating again. She'd somewhen meet Jim through another homo she was dating. "And so, I was dating this other guy when I met Jimmy. There was zero romantic. I was in a full-blown relationship."
However, once Meghan and her young man carve up in January 2013, it took Jim simply a few months to reach out. "He was waiting in the wings," she told us. "He said he had to wait for an acceptable amount of time to laissez passer before he asked me out on a engagement, considering he didn't want to accept bad blood in his group of friends."
Before agreeing to become out with him in April 2013, Meghan had reservations about going out with a quondam Major League Baseball game player who was 15 years her senior, already had iv children and was in the process of divorcing his 2nd wife, Allison Jayne Raski.
"I never dated athletes," Meghan said. "I idea they were too immature and full of themselves. I kept talking to my sister, and I was similar, 'I don't know if I should go. He'due south so much older than me, and he has all these kids.' And [my sister] Julie was similar, 'Y'all're non going to marry him. Who cares, merely go.'"
At the time, Jim was still legally married to Raski, but Meghan believed they'd both moved on. "She was in a full-blown relationship months earlier Jimmy and I went on our first appointment," Meghan said. "That guy, she'south married to right now and they have a baby."
Simply while Jim's ex-wife seemed similar a not-issue at the start of their relationship, that soon changed once Raski realized Meghan was a fixture in Jim'southward life.
Meghan claimed she started to receive telephone calls from Raski, where she would say things like "she wanted [her] married man back. She'll always love him."
Meghan declared that Raski'south behavior has been a "theme ever since," only she welcomed the claiming of dealing with a modern family. Raski did not respond to Page Six's requests for comment.
"I honestly could not fathom whatsoever human relationship with Jimmy's children or ex-wives equally anything simply loving considering I knew how I love and understand love," she said. "At present I have since understood that that's non how everyone operates, and so that has been extremely difficult for me."
In October 2014, Meghan and Jim were married, but their newlywed life was far from traditional.
Their first yr as hubby and married woman was spent traveling back and forth between St. Louis and Orange County, Calif., where Jim's two oldest daughters lived. Jim'due south first wife, LeAnn Horton, was battling colon cancer, and the couple helped care for Jim's daughters Lauren and Hayley Edmonds. Hayley eventually moved in with Meghan and Jim in St. Louis for a short time during her junior year of high school.
During i of their trips to the W Coast, Jim's friends Heather and Terry Dubrow invited the couple to a political party that would be featured on the Bravo reality series, "The Real Housewives of Orangish County," which Heather was a part of.
"I was involved in some drama there that I didn't know I was involved in until I watched the bear witness," Meghan said. "Next flavour, they were casting and they simply called me to ask if I would be interested."
Jim was supportive of Meghan launching a television set career, and Hayley was willing to motility back to California full-time, so Meghan felt at that place was zip keeping her from joining the cast.
"I kept thinking, I don't take anything to hide," she said. "If I watch it and retrieve of it equally if I'm a character, then maybe I tin can remove my emotions from it."
In 2015, Meghan became a full-time cast fellow member during Season 10 of "The Existent Housewives of Orange County." She made her mark on viewers past calling out "the OG of the OC" Vicki Gunvalson over allegations that Gunvalson's then-young man, Brooks Ayers, was faking cancer.
"I was simply shocked at how inherently and deeply mean and vindictive people can be," Meghan said. "It'due south sad. I'm talking about Vicki and Kelly [Dodd]. They're bully and mean all the time, just when they are, it'south deep."
Meghan lasted three seasons on the show, and wrote on her weblog in January 2018 that filming had taken a "massive emotional toll." She shared her IVF journeying with Bravo'southward cameras and revealed she was pregnant with twins.
"Twin pregnancies must be treated more delicately than a singleton pregnancy and are high-risk past default, so I also wanted to have a peaceful pregnancy with positive influences," she wrote. "Consistent positive influences are harder to find on 'RHOC'!"
While she might not be an official cast member, Meghan will make some appearances this coming flavor, notably a lunch with Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge. She isn't planning on making a full-fourth dimension return to reality TV given the recent scandal with her husband.
On June thirteen, Meghan opened her Instagram and institute a direct message from a stranger with a link to an All About the Tea story headlined, "Jim Edmonds' Steamy Matter While Meghan Was Pregnant With Twins EXPOSED — D*ck Pics, Threats, Hush Coin & More than!"
At that moment, she felt "totally blindsided — and so naked in every way and in the grossest mode possible," she explained.
The article revealed texts betwixt Meghan's married man and a woman named Jennifer McFelia Villegas, as well known equally the "baseball madame," that implied Jim had an thing. The outlet also claimed to accept video of the former athlete masturbating.
While Meghan told u.s.a. she was never suspicious of her husband, the old reality star "but knew it was real."
Meghan was in St. Louis taking care of the couple's three children — 1-year-old twin sons Hayes and Hart and their 2-twelvemonth-former sister, Aspen — while Jim was in New York. When she called him about the story's accusations, he confessed.
"He was so sad and and then sorry," she said. "Every bit time went on, I but figured this would be something that would unravel so much more."

In a June 14 blog mail service titled "I'm Sad," Meghan made her feelings public, writing, "I don't trust him anymore" but adding, "I have promise our marriage can recover."
The emotional mail garnered lots of attending and hundreds of comments.
"That was Jimmy'due south idea, really, for me to write," Meghan said. "It felt really good. It felt like I had a little chip of ability back — for whatever that'southward worth."
Weeks after the scandal broke, Meghan told united states she trusts Jim "a lot more than now than I did when I wrote that" because she's learned a lot more about the situation involving her husband and Villegas.
While Jim denied always existence concrete with Villegas, he admitted to sending flirtatious texts and nude pictures, leading Meghan to allegedly confront Villegas herself.
Meghan claimed that Villegas said, "I'll take a lie detector test to bear witness that we got together." She recalled thinking, "I know what she looks like, my husband would definitely not claw upwards with anyone who looks similar her only out of his cocky-respect."
Despite their chat, Meghan denied All About That Tea's claims that she left the mistress a "threatening voicemail" message.
"That'southward what piqued my interest in the first place because I was like, 'Well that'southward definitely not me,' and I definitely oasis't spoken to her ever, so this is happening to somebody else, at to the lowest degree i other person," she said.
Meghan has chosen to believe Jim over Villegas partly because, she said, several people from the MLB community have contacted her to allege that Villegas harassed them, too.
"This adult female has gotten thousands and thousands of dollars — it's her task," Meghan alleged. "She goes afterwards baseball players, she baits them, and they're stupid and weak to take the bait, just they do it, sometimes. One time I found that out, it kind of fabricated me feel a little flake better that this wasn't something that [Jim] sought out."
Villegas has vehemently denied always engaging in extortion or blackmail.
In a statement to All Nigh The Tea, she said, "I want to make a few things very articulate — I never ready anyone upwardly, blackmailed anyone nor have I attempted to ruin anyone's family. All my relationships take involved two consenting adults. I made a poor decision to enter a relationship with a married man, and for that I am sorry."
She further stated, "Recent allegations labeling me as an extortionist are simulated." When reached by Page Six, Villegas declined to comment.
Meghan shared with us a screenshot of a direct message chat she had with a old professional athlete who alleged that Villegas approached him at a hotel in New Orleans and appeared pregnant at the time.
"She seriously would harass me and call 100 times to where I only turned my phone off," the MLB player allegedly told Meghan, calculation that Villegas would allegedly "threaten" him with "all types of BS."
The ex-wife of an MLB player also spoke with Page Six exclusively and claimed Villegas first approached her husband when he played in the minor leagues for the Mariners organization in 2011. Villegas allegedly said she worked as a sales rep for Under Armour and could get him and his teammates free gear.
"That seemed to be the opening," the ex-married woman said. "They then got involved with each other until I got this random Facebook message. She told me, 'We've been sleeping together.'"
The ex-married woman declared, "Ane time when nosotros spoke, she was in Chicago at a White Sox game and name-dropped some other players that she was involved with, and so when I connected with Meghan, I said, 'This isn't most Jim or my ex-husband — obviously they did something wrong. But the upshot is that this woman has a super long history of targeting players.'"
The ex-wife said she never understood why Villegas came forward most the matter, adding that the "baseball madame" seemed to enjoy telling her well-nigh it. She could not confirm whether Villegas ever asked her ex for money in exchange for keeping the affair secret.
"I really don't empathize the motivation at all," she said. "Information technology seems like she was manipulating me and manipulating him."
The ex-wife suspects at that place are "many" other MLB players who are "squirming" at the thought of their names being released because their wives may not nonetheless be privy to their indiscretions with Villegas.
A separate source shut to Villegas confirmed to Folio Six that she has been pursuing sexual relationships with baseball players for more than 20 years.
"She had a reputation at Kennesaw State," the source said. "She was banned from the baseball field there when she was around 17 years old for harassing the players. They chosen her 'Mama' because she brought them food, clothes, money, all kinds of stuff."
A rep for Kennesaw State could not confirm that Villegas harassed the players, telling us in a statement, "We simply take no information that this person was ever a student at KSU or had any affiliation with anyone at KSU."
The source declared that every bit Villegas got older, she set her sights on the minor and major leagues, and some of the players would fly her out to run across them.
"She lied to two of them well-nigh being significant," the source claimed. "One she lied to almost having a miscarriage."
The source told us that Villegas' flings inverse from romantic to harassment one time she no longer got the same perks she once did.
"I don't know what's happened to Jennifer, just she has gained a lot of weight, so she doesn't go the attention that she used to go," said the source, who knows Villegas personally. "She looks horrible, and she'southward not getting the money that she used to get from these players, so she's looking for other means to get it."
Meanwhile, she was dealing with personal issues regarding her girl.
In May 2016, she was accused of reckless conduct for leaving her girl inside her machine while shopping at a supermarket. She plead nolo contendere, which means she did not have or deny responsibility for the charges but agreed to have penalisation, which included a $500 fine, parenting courses and 400 hours of community service. Villegas also has 2 DUIs on her record.
In a argument toAllAboutTheTea.com, Villegas addressed her record, maxim, "I am no saint. My past includes 2 DUIs and for that I am securely remorseful and I've learned from my mistakes. My life today is completely devoted to my relationship with God and my daughter."
Although Jim says he never had sexual practice or physical contact with Villegas, Meghan said the former MLB star did admit to coming together up with Villegas later she allegedly threatened to speak to the National Enquirer in exchange for money.
The former "Existent Housewives" star said her husband offered Villegas $vii,500 plus legal fees and a not-disclosure agreement to prohibit her from sharing any personal information.
"If she violated information technology, she would have to pay him $15,000," Meghan told u.s.. "He could take done a sting performance on her. That's what he should have done — got her arrested. Merely in his guilty mind, he thought he was trying to protect me."
Co-ordinate to our source close to Villegas, most of the married athletes are "afraid," and then they try to silence her with "hush coin." Jim was just another to continue with that plan, but was tardily with a 2d payment and "that's why she went public."
Meghan said after she personally spoke to Villegas, she realized, "She's so unstable, I want to simply ice her out of my life and environs myself with positive influences from here on out."
Today Meghan is focused on getting back the marriage she always wanted. She and Jim are going to therapy to "figure out why did this happen and make sure that everyone is on the same page."
While the allegations against Jim were made public, Meghan was dealing with serious health issues surrounding one of her one-year-erstwhile twins, Hart, while still trying to heighten his brother, Hayes, 2-year-one-time sister Aspen, and stepchildren Landon and Sutton.
In a July five blog mail service titled "My Hart," Meghan revealed to her fans that Hart had been diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia and had "irreversible encephalon damage."
She visited a pediatrician, ii neurologists, an independent occupational therapist, an independent physical therapist, and an alternative medicine doctor earlier Hart'southward MRI results gave her the confirmation she needed.
"I was in my auto leaving my new house that we're building, and [the doctor] started telling me, 'He has damage to some white matter in his brain,'" Meghan says. "It was a relief. Information technology was vindication in a weird, twisted mode. Vindication I didn't want, but I knew that I would get."
She continued, "I actually wanted zero more than to only exist a crazy hypochondriac female parent, but I knew I wasn't. Because of that diagnosis, I got him into all these therapies."
Meghan has close down all of her business ventures for the time being — aside from a few Instagram ads. Her days consist more often than not of her caring for her kids and taking Hart to his dr.'s appointments. The pair volition soon go to California together for a iii-week intensive therapy program.
"My kids and my family unit are everything to me. I'thou just focusing on the things that matter."
