The dirt on this 'Real Housewives' breakup just keeps on getting juicier.
By Nicole Pomarico — Written on Jan 26, 2020
Just when we think the divorce drama between Real Housewives stars Jim Edmonds and Meghan King Edmonds can't get any crazier... it does.
Apparently, not only did Jim and Meghan have a threesome while they were married, but now, Jim is reportedly seeing the woman they had the threesome with. The plot thickens!
So who is Kortnie O'Connor? Here are all the details on Jim's reported new girlfriend and alleged threesome partner.
1. Jim and Meghan split in 2019 after allegations that he cheated.
Last year, Meghan accused Jim of cheating on her with their babysitter, which Jim has vehemently denied. It all started when she shared an emotional Instagram post about feeling "so raw" that hinted that something was up between her and Jim ... and then, in the comments, she simply left a thumbs up emoji in response to one of her followers who wrote, "Judging by Jim's Instagram, I'm guessing it's nanny Carly whom he posted NINE photos of 11 months ago. And she has deleted her Instagram."
Since then, things have been pretty messy between the former couple as they work out the finer details of their divorce. Together, they have three children, and this wasn't even the first time that Jim had been caught cheating. Just months earlier, Jim had been caught sexting a woman he'd had an affair with in a previous relationship. Basically, things haven't been good between them in a long time.
2. Recently, Meghan said Jim was dating a woman they had a threesome with.
Earlier this week. while appearing on a podcast, Meghan admitted that she'd agreed to a threesome when she and Jim were newlyweds so she could seem "fun" and now, it looked like Jim and their threesome partner were dating.
“When he goes to Cabo for a birthday party, from my understanding, he takes this girl with him. This threesome girl,” she said on the podcast. “This girl who I thought was my friend. I cast aside my uncomfortability with a threesome, everything I had in my head about a threesome being weird and gross because I was fun and wanted to do things for my husband.”
3. The woman has been identified: Who is Kortnie O'Connor?
Later this week, multiple sources confirmed that Kortnie O'Connor was the woman from the threesome — and that she and Jim are currently in a relationship, just as Meghan had suspected. Also as Meghan had said on the podcast, O'Connor was reportedly at the birthday party in Cabo with Jim, too.
“Jim is separated from his wife and getting a divorce; if he wants to go to Cabo with a friend, that is no one else’s business," Jim's rep said in a comment about the situation.
4. O'Connor is a Playboy model turned property manager.
O'Connor is a 35-year-old model who has worked with Playboy in the past, including being named Cyber Girl Of The Month in 2017. These days, it seems that O'Connor is working as a property manager for Agent Property Management.
"Kortnie O’Connor comes to Agent Property Management with an eclectic background in Real Estate," says her bio on the company's website. "Growing up in Orange County, her mom was a realtor who instilled hard work and the charisma needed to be there in every area for her clients real-estate needs. Kortnie attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising which has given her attention to detail in providing property designs and the best way to keep properties prevailing and innovative to your styles."
5. O'Connor is staying silent about the matter on social media.
So far, O'Connor hasn't mentioned the rumors herself. In fact, her most recent Instagram post (above) was shared on January 6 to celebrate the New Year — and there isn't any sign of a relationship to be found. Speaking of signs of their relationship ... Jim's Instagram is coming up empty on that front, as well.
6. Jim has released a statement on the situation.
And so far, it sounds like Jim's not talking when it comes to O'Connor — or anything else involving his personal life that Meghan may have spoken on.
“Jim has no desire to roll in the mud with anyone, nor does he have any interest in playing this out in the media,” a rep for Jim said in a statement on Thursday. “Meghan decided to publicly broadcast what was essentially a 30-minute therapy session about her marriage and she continues to tell stories to anyone who will listen and use this as an opportunity to get attention for herself.”
Knowing the way the situation with Jim and Meghan has played out so far, we'd be surprised if this is the last we hear about this situation.
