Instagram/Meghan EdmondsEdmonds appears to agree with a follower who suggested her husband cheated on her with Carly Wilson.
Amid the rumors that Jim had cheated on Meghan, Meghan posted an Instagram selfie in which she said she was “So raw.” When a follower responded with a comment saying, “Judging by Jim’s Instagram, I’m guessing it’s nanny Carly whom he posted NINE photos of 11 months ago. And she has deleted her IG. ?.” Meghan responded with a simple thumbs-up emoji. The user who posted the initial allegation responded by saying, “what a betrayal! And you blogged such wonderful things about her. ?.” There is no proof that Wilson and Jim had a romantic relationship.
The news that Meghan and Jim were about to divorce came just after the couple’s five-year wedding anniversary. Meghan told “The Daily Dish” that the pair were considering going to couple’s counseling. US Weekly reported two days later that Jim had filed for divorce. The gossip magazine noted the allegations that Jim had cheated with the family’s nanny. The report mentioned that the family had four nannies and a live-in au pair.” One of the Edmonds’ family’s nannies is Meghan’s younger cousin, Bridget O’Toole.
A source told US Weekly, “The nanny is someone who has worked for them for years and is like family. During the argument, Meghan called the cops, but nothing came of it. Jim didn’t put his hands on her. The police chalked it up to a verbal dispute. No arrests were made.”

Eventually, Meghan asked Wilson to become their full-time travel and live-in nanny in St. Louis. Wilson wrote that among the reasons she took the job, quitting college and the cheerleading team, was because she fell in love with Aspen Edmonds.
