Meghan King is looking forward to becoming an even better mother as she and her family head into 2022.
The 37-year-old former Real Housewives Of Orange County star shared a sweet photo to Instagram on Thursday of the three young children she shares with her ex-husband Jim Edmonds as she vowed to ‘mom the s*** outta this year.’
The reality star is focused on a brighter future after announcing her split from President Joe Biden‘s nephew Cuffe Biden Owens after only two months of marriage.
Meghan’s post was snapped amid her trip to Hutchinson Island, Florida, where she has been vacationing with her daughter Aspen, five, and twins sons Hart and Hayes, three.
The boys wore inflatable water wings and inflatable shirts with brightly patterned swim trunks, while Aspen rocked a green and purple two-piece suit as they played in the sand while the surf washed over them.
‘2022 resolution. I’m gonna mom the s*** outta this year,’ Meghan wrote in her caption.
‘Top that. Go ahead, whadya got,’ she added playfully.
There’s nothing like water to keep on present and nothing like kids to keep one preoccupied. Thanking God for both today

A follow-up snap of her adorable children showed them playing in the sand and water from another angle.
‘There’s nothing like water to keep on present and nothing like kids to keep one preoccupied. Thanking God for both today,’ she wrote.
Meghan showed off her winning smile and washboard abs in another Instagram Stories photo of herself and the children at the beach.
‘Soaking up some rays with my water babies at Momo and Papa’s beautiful condo,’ she shared.
Kind: Earlier on Thursday morning, Meghan thanked her one million followers on Instagram for standing by her side as she navigated new terrain after announcing the end of her marriage
Over: Meghan King broke her silence on Monday and confirmed she had split from her husband of two months, Joe Biden’s nephew Cuffe Biden Owens
Earlier on Thursday morning, Meghan thanked her one million followers on Instagram for standing by her side as she navigated new terrain after announcing the end of her marriage.
‘Thank you for all your messages,’ she wrote online Thursday morning. ‘Thank you for holding space for me. Thank you for lifting me up. You all are good people and I appreciate you.’
King seemed to be in much better spirits after she broke her silence earlier this week where she admitted she was ‘rattled’ following the end of her marriage to the LA-based attorney, whom she met online only months before.
Sources told E! News that their split ‘had to do with distance’ as he is a Los Angeles–based attorney while she raises her three kids across the country in St. Louis, Missouri.
‘Meghan cannot uproot the children from where they currently live and he lives and works in California,’ the insider revealed.
She shares co-parenting responsibility of her three children with her ex Jim, who is currently engaged to her former friend Kortnie O’Connor.

‘It was not a relationship rooted in that much practicality,’ the insider said. ‘She had hopes of being able to spend more time in California but the kids cannot just be moved.’
But King completely shot down the idea that distance played into their issues when she told Page Six: ‘Cuffe lived with me. We didn’t have any distance.’
She added: ‘We lived together every day since the day we met. There was no Cali/MO distance. There was zero long distance whatsoever.’
Her long-time Real Housewives of Orange County nemesis, Kelly Dodd, took no time trolling the mother-of-three as she paid up on a contest from October where she asked her podcast listeners to predict the end of Meghan’s relationship.
Dodd, 46, and her husband, former Fox correspondent Rick Leventhal, said they predicted the union would last less than a year, and hosted an ‘impromptu contest’ where one lucky Patreon subscriber guessed the correct time frame.

‘One of them wrote us with the winning guess of “less than six months.” We’re sending her a ‘Rick & Kelly Unmasked’ hat,’ the couple, who shared a wedding anniversary with Meghan and Cuffe, said in a joint statement to Page Six.
They added: ‘As bad as we feel for her, neither of us is surprised. ‘We actually talked about her nuptials on our Rick & Kelly Unmasked Podcast right after she tied the knot in October, and both of us predicted it wouldn’t last, because of how new their relationship was and how short their engagement was.’
Kelly was famously fired from the franchise earlier this year after a host of controversial issues including toasting to a super-spreader event with her friends at a bar during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing a Drunk Wives Matter hat at her bridal shower and claiming in April 2020 that the pandemic was ‘Gods way of thinning the herd’ as she argued with an Instagram user who called her out after taking a cross-country flight.

Her issues with Meghan clearly carried over from her Housewives days as she previously told King that her ex-husband Jim Edmond’s affair with the nanny in 2019 was ‘karma’ and further clarified in an Instagram comment: ‘I am sorry but ladies if you marry a man that has a history of cheating and a professional athlete your chances of him being faithful is very slim .. come on!!’
Meghan King confirmed the end of her marriage to Joe Biden‘s nephew Cuffe Biden Owens in a lengthy Instagram story shared on Monday morning, just two months after the couple married in a backyard ceremony attended by the President and First Lady.
The former Real Housewives of Orange County star admitted to being ‘rattled’ over their failed union as she shared a series remarks on social media days after it was revealed they split.
‘I’m rattled. This situation is profoundly devastating,’ she wrote. ‘This is obviously not what I imagined when I made my vows — and I’m shocked and saddened by the way things turned out. I am moving forward with my children as we privately process our pain and begin to let go of shattered dreams.’

Weeks before their split, Meghan wrote online that the couple had slipped away for a local hotel stay to reconnect after hitting a rough patch.
‘We feel like we’ve been married for a million years (thanks to marrying later in life and with a lot of history and, well, kids) so a two month anniversary staycation was called for,’ she wrote.
King had high hopes that the staycation would ‘do a new marriage good,’ adding, ‘Please, give us more good marriage tips!’
