Jim Edmonds spent Christmas day with his girlfriend, Kortnie O'Connor, and his kids, including the three youngsters he shares with ex-wife Meghan King Edmonds, formerly of "The Real Housewives of Orange County."

"This year started rough and I couldn’t imagine a better ending to a challenging year on many levels," Jim wrote in the caption of a December 25 image of himself, Kortnie, and his family, including Sutton, Landon, Aspen, Hayes, and Hart.

"I couldn’t be more proud and appreciative of what I have in my life. Truly am blessed! Merry Christmas from my family to yours," Jim continued with his post.

Then, in the comments section of his image, Jim "liked" a message from a fan who seemingly suggested that Meghan had brought "toxicity" to Jim's life during their five-year marriage.

"So happy you are away from that toxicity," the fan had written.

Back in October, in honor of Kortnie's birthday, Jim shared a heartfelt post on his Instagram page, along with several photos of the two of them.

In his birthday post to Kortnie, Jim wrote, "Happy birthday [Kortnie] to the most amazing, strong, courageous, loving, selfless, caring, daring person I have ever met. I could never put into words what you mean to me and my family. They say God puts people in lives for a reason. For the first time in my life I truly believe this."

According to Jim, his relationship with Kortnie began at the perfect time. 

"It’s like you came along and turned the light on in my heart again," he continued. 

Jim went on to say that when it came to his renewed spirit on life, he didn't know that such a thing could happen after his October 2019 split from ex Meghan. As he explained, his new lease on life was "some thing that I didn’t think was going to be possible again."

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much I love you and thank you for being you!" he added.

Jim began dating Kortnie in January.

While Jim's romance with Kortnie began in January, Meghan said during an episode of her podcast, "Intimate Knowledge," that Kortnie was one of her former friends, who she and Jim had allegedly been intimate with years ago. 

“This girl who I thought was my friend. I cast aside my uncomfortability [sic] with a threesome, everything I had in my head about a threesome being weird and gross, because I was fun and wanted to do things for my husband,” she claimed, according to a report from Screen Rant.
