REAL Housewives of Orange County star Meghan King Edmonds is spending Memorial Day Weekend with new boyfriend Christian Schauf in Utah.
The mother of three, who split from husband Jim Edmonds in October, shared a photo of herself smiling and happy hiking in the mountains of Park City on Saturday.
Meghan, 35, recently revealed she’d been feeling “exhausted” after nine weeks of lockdown as as a single mom with her and her ex’s three kids — daughter Aspen, 3, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, 2.
Now, she’s excited to be in a new relationship and spending some time out in the open Park City air with her businessman beau Christian.
Rocking hiking shoes, leggings, a grey Adidas shirt and a lime-green sweatshirt, Meghan smiled in a candid shot she posted to Instagram on Saturday, captioning it: “MDW plans include: becoming a mountain woman…brb.”
The RHOC star also shared some videos to her Instagram Stories of her bundled up in a puffy jacket and grey beanie, walking her dog out in the snowy landscape, wishing her followers an early “Happy Memorial Day, everybody.”
Later, she excitedly recapped the day, revealing she went “mountain-biking for the first time ever” and that it was “crazy, hard and super-duper scary.”
She included a photo of her on the bike, along with another person, like Christian, who’s cut off in the picture.
Meghan captioned the shot: “Def wouldn’t have guessed this is what I’d be doing over MDW 2020 but here’s proof I did the mountain thing.
“I had an E bike to help so I totally cheated. Y’all, nature is healing.”
A source told In Touch Weekly that Meghan left her children with their dad, so she could spend some alone time with Christian, the CEO of an emergency survival kit company, in his home state of Utah.
An insider said Meghan and Christian have been dating for “a few months” and “have a lot in common.”
The source continued: “He’s a nice guy and the perfect catch. Yes, this is still pretty new, but Meghan is very happy.”
Meghan and Jim split last year after five years of marriage, and he is now dating Kortnie O’Connor, a woman he and Meghan once had a threesome with.
A rep for Jim told Us Weekly that “Jim is happy and relieved to have Aspen, Hayes and Hart back with him in St. Louis” because Meghan’s online posts have “been somewhat distressing.”
In a recent blog, Meghan wrote about being concerned that her son Hart, who has a brain injury called Periventricular leukomalacia, wasn’t making progress with his development while under lockdown.
She revealed he had started to “plateau” in February and now his “current status is below the level of that depressing plateau.”
However in an Instagram story, Jim said his 2-year-old son was progressing and “so much better than he was two months ago.”
