‘RHOC’ Star Meghan King Reveals Her Son’s Heartbreaking Diagnosis

Former Bravo star Meghan King, who spent three seasons on Real Housewives of Orange County, recently shared news about her son Hart’s latest diagnosis.

While promoting her new activewear line with clothing company SewSewYou, Meghan revealed that her five-year-old son has been diagnosed with a mood disorder.

Hart, whom Meghan shares with her ex-husband, Cardinals legend Jim Edmonds, also suffers from cerebral palsy.

During a chat with US Weekly, Meghan disclosed that her new limited-edition activewear line, named Harty in honor of her son’s nickname, will help with his care following the new diagnosis.

Meghan, who also shares Hart’s twin brother Hayes and daughter Aspyn, 7, with Jim, explained that she is navigating what is best for her son’s health, just like other parents.

“His needs fall under the neurodivergent category. And so, like a lot of other parents with children in this category, it can be really trying to find your way through the weeds to figure out what’s going on with your kid and finding a diagnosis in order to be able to articulate his needs better so we can provide the access to [his] needs,” she said.

Meghan explained that such diagnoses are becoming more prevalent, and by discussing them publicly, she hopes more people feel comfortable talking about children’s mental health.

She noted the stigma has been “broken” when discussing adults and their mental health struggles.

“But we haven’t really extended that same sort of grace to our children who are grappling with psychiatric issues. And it doesn’t just affect the individual child who really struggles to understand their emotions. They’re growing up just like every other child, but they have extra hurdles to work through. And they don’t understand that. And that affects the entire family unit because of it,” she continued.

Meghan, who calls herself a “lucky mom,” explained that the proceeds from Harty will “go to reimburse everything that I’ve poured my heart, soul [and] money into. The important [thing] is Hart.”

Meghan and Jim publicly struggled to co-parent following their 2021 divorce. Admitting that she hasn’t been in the same room as Jim in a very long time, she shared in another interview that things are “good” between them now.

The former couple has improved their relationship, and this has a lot to do with Jim’s marriage to Kortnie O’Connor Edmonds.

While she jokes that they aren’t “going out for a happy hour,” she views Kortnie as a positive influence in her children’s lives.

Meghan’s Harty Collection, which includes leggings, hoodies, and sports bras, is available on SewSewYou.com until Tuesday, September 3.
