Meghan King Edmonds is back on the market.
Following six months of dating, the Real Housewives of Orange County cast member was reportedly dumped by her now-ex-boyfriend Christian Schauf, a Utah-based businessman, just before the holidays.
“He couldn’t take all the social media and public attention,” an insider told E! News on November 30. “He ended it shortly after her COVID diagnosis and all the attention that went with it.”
As RHOC fans likely heard, Meghan confirmed she was suffering from COVID-19 weeks ago after enjoying a trip to Miami with several girlfriends. Then, just hours later, the mother of three was called out for allegedly exposing her ex-husband Jim Edmonds, his family, and his girlfriend Kortnie O’Connor to the illness by his daughter, Hayley Edmonds.
On Sunday, November 29, Meghan sparked rumors of a potential split when she shared a tour of her new home in St. Louis and made it clear that only her dog and three children would be living there.
“No one is moving in this home except for me, Girly Girl, Aspen, Hart and Hayes,” she told a fan. “That’s it. That is everyone who will be living in this house.”
Meghan and Christian, who founded the Unchartered Supply Company and hosts the Life Unchartered podcast, were first linked to one another in May. At the time, Meghan spoke about their romance on Instagram, telling her followers that she was “happy” and “looking forward to writing my next chapter.”
Although Christian was never a fan of living his life, and romance, in public view, he did participate in an interview with Page Six in July, during which he took aim at Jim for being difficult and admitted to being impressed with the way in which Meghan has navigated their messy split.
“This is a 35-year-old woman with three kids under the age of 3 with an ex who is not that easy to deal with – and that is putting it in the nicest way possible,” he stated. “And then having every move you make played out at the scale she does, for her to continue to be positive and push ahead and have goals, and not let it overwhelm her… it’s really impressive to me.”
While Meghan and Christian are no longer dating, he did share a kind message to her on Instagram after seeing that she’d purchased a new home.
“Congrats!!!” he wrote.
