Tamra Judge Sends Support to Meghan King Amid Custody Battle
Tamra Judge is extending her solidarity to her former The Real Housewives of Orange County castmate Meghan King.
Following Us Weekly's exclusive disclosure that King, 41, no longer had full custody of her three children with former spouse Jim Edmonds after a Child Protective Services inquiry, Judge, 58, commented on the development online.
“My thoughts and prayers are with you,” she posted in the feedback area of an update regarding the news. “You are an incredible mother.”
King and Judge appeared together on The Real Housewives of Orange County from season 10 through season 12.
‘RHOC’ Alum Meghan King’s Most Cherished Times With Her 3 ChildrenUpon revealing her exit from the Bravo reality series in January 2018, King shared her appreciation for forging new friendships, including with Judge.
“I’ve found kindred spirits in Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge, and that bond is invaluable,” she penned in her online journal. “They’ve deeply impacted me, and I would go to great lengths for them, just as I know they would for me — what a blessing to have discovered that connection through RHOC!”
Despite King not having appeared on Bravo in quite some time, the former resident of Orange County has recently garnered media attention while living in Missouri.
Several informants informed Us that the choice to remove King’s physical custody occurred within the last few months. (She is mother to 8-year-old daughter Aspen and 7-year-old twin boys Hart and Hayes with Edmonds, 55.)
The former Bravo personality was permitted supervised visits, with Edmonds retaining exclusive physical custody. According to the informant, this ruling is provisional, and a court date is scheduled for December to determine if the custody agreement will be finalized.

This marks another instance where Judge has openly extended her backing to King.
After Edmonds initiated divorce proceedings in October 2019, concluding five years of marriage, King found reassurance from Judge.
“Sending big hugs,” the “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast presenter posted through an Instagram update. “You are a resilient woman, Megs. Love you.”
As King navigates yet another challenging period, she is also garnering encouragement from other castmates.
In a TikTok clip uploaded on Wednesday, November 19, Kelly Dodd referred to her past castmate as “a superb mother.”
“My sole wish is that she reunites with her children,” Dodd — who appeared alongside King for several seasons of RHOC — added. “Please, everyone, offer your prayers for Meghan and her loved ones. Her sons and daughter require their mother. They need their mom, and the current situation is truly awful.”
Meghan King and Jim Edmonds’ Relationship Journey: From 'RHOC' to Marital DissolutionWhile King generally aims to keep her children away from social media, she did recently share moments from a particular festivity last summer.
During the observance of Hayes and Hart’s 7th birthday, King posted a family picture that did not include Edmonds.
“This marks the third occasion they’ve celebrated their birthday bash @epiphanylanes! Their 4th, 5th, and now 7th birthdays!),” she captioned via Instagram on June 7. “An interesting tidbit: Hayes was born approximately 45 minutes ahead of Hart. When Hayes made his appearance, I instantly called him ‘Hart.’ Then Hart arrived and I stated, ‘This one is Hart.’ Consequently, I swapped their names. They enjoy hearing the tale of how they once possessed each other’s name.”
