Jim Edmonds Breaks His Silence About Alleged Affair With Nanny

Things are getting messy in the Edmonds' household, but former Major League Baseball player Jim Edmonds is ready to set the record straight about one thing...the accusations that he cheated on his wife, Real Housewives of Orange County alum Meghan King Edmonds, with their kids' nanny before filing for divorce. On Friday, October 25th, news broke that the former baseball player filed for divorce from his wife of five years, the same day that Meghan accused him of cheating with their kids' nanny. According to Us Weekly, multiple sources confirmed the cheating allegations and one said that Meghan confronted her husband and their nanny about the affair, but both denied it ever happened. One source told Us Weekly. "The nanny is someone who has worked for them for years and is like family. During the argument, Meghan called the cops, but nothing came of it. Jim didn't put his hands on her. The police chalked it up to a verbal dispute. No arrests were made." Fans have also noted cryptic social media posts from Meghan she posted a selfie with the caption "So raw" and then gave a thumbs up emoji to a user who pointed out that Jim had posted nine photos of their nanny Carly in the past, and alluded to an affair between the two. Since then the allegations of Jim having an affair with the nanny have spread, but now he's looking to defend himself. Page Six reported that Edmonds posted a rebuttal on Instagram on Monday, October 28 just before he made the account private. The post apparently read, in part: "It's one thing to be accused of something. It's another thing to be so negligent and so careless, and ruin the lives of innocent young people. [...] I did not sleep with our nanny. [...] We have been treating and raising this young girl like she is our own child! For someone to accuse me of sleeping with her is not only wrong, it's disgusting and irresponsible." According to an Us Weekly source, the Edmonds family has four nannies, and Jim Edmonds denies having inappropriate relations with any of them. In the same Instagram post, Jim continued: "We made a promise to that young girl's mom, that We would take care of her and make sure that she was safe while she was in our hands. I will not sit here and take this bulls--- without fighting back." Over the weekend, the nanny in question, Carly Wilson, who is 22 years old, also commented on the rumors of an affair on her private Instagram account, E! Online reported, stating that the allegations were completely false. The alleged affair between Jim Edmonds and his children's nanny coming out the same day he filed for divorce from his wife Meghan King Edmonds is a lot to handle. However, this scandal isn't the first to plague the couple. In June 2019, reports of Jim cheating on Meghan while she was pregnant with their twins surfaced. Although he later denied ever physically being involved with the woman in question, he did admit that he sent her explicit texts...so there's that. "It's not the same for her to come and say that my husband is having an affair with me when I'm seven months pregnant. That is not the same." At the time, Meghan opened up about the pain she felt after these infidelity allegations came out in a personal blog post, writing in part: "I don't trust him anymore. Physical or not, he still had an affair and he admits this to me. [...] I sob so much my face stings from the salt from my tears." Despite the struggles in their marriage, Meghan was trying to work with Jim to rebuild their relationship, and she even opened up about their progress the day before he filed for divorce and the new affair rumors came out. Meghan told Bravo's The Daily Dish on Thursday, October 24: "We're just still working it day by day. I think after such a breach of trust, it's so hard to rebuild from there. [...] And so to focus on the two of us as a couple, is really hard." She then noted that October 24 was their five-year wedding anniversary before adding, "...we're going to counseling. I think that's almost a date for us because we have to talk about us; we have to communicate about things that don't involve [other topics]." Clearly their break-up is already off to a rocky start, but for their three children's sake, hopefully it'll get better soon. "He's not gonna be able to get these moments back, and one day he's gonna come home and Aspen won't know who he is."
