Edmonds and O'Connor, a realtor, went public with their relationship in April 2020. Both he and ex-wife Meghan King previously identified O'Connor as a friend who once had a threesome with the then-couple, but Edmonds later claimed that was "a joke." Last summer, the former baseball player, 51, shared a lengthy Instagram post about O'Connor, saying she changed his life "forever."

"She showed up in my life just at the right time. Amazing that her taking a chance on a plus one weekend to Mexico pulled me out of my hole and changed my life forever." "I was in such a dark place; one that I didn't think could happen to me," he continued. "Along came this beautiful woman by chance, who lit up my world and brought me back to life. I'm very grateful for my amazing friends, children and this amazing woman for making me a better person and father." Jim Edmonds.
