The Question Remains: Is There A New Couple On The Horizon?

King is mom to three, twin son Hayes and Hart, 5, and daughter Aspen, 3, with ex-husband Jim Edmonds. King and the former baseball player divorced after five years of marriage in late 2019. Not long after her divorce was finalized in May 2021, she married Cuffe Biden Owens, but that short marriage ended up being annulled the following July. And now the question on everyone's mind - is a new relationship brewing with Johnson, or are the two actually just flirty friends working together?
