IfMeghan King Edmondscould go back to the day of her sons’ birth last summer, it’s possible she would’ve made a different decision as far as their anatomy is concerned.
On the debut episode of herIntimate Knowledgepodcast alongsideBrooke Burke, which dropped on Monday,The Real Housewives of Orange Countystar revealed that she and now-estranged husbandJim Edmondsmade the decision to circumcise their twin boysHart King and Hayes King, now 19 months.
“I have two sons and I did it. My partner was a professional baseball player. He was like, ‘Well in the locker room, I don’t want him to get him made fun of.’ I was like, ‘Okay, well, you’re the dad. You do have 50 percent choice in this,’ ” said King Edmonds, 35.

“Also, there’s no kind of numbing except topically,” King Edmonds noted. “What type of long-term [psychological] effects does this possibly have on our kids growing up through the years? And then — I’m gonna get real deep, but is this why maybe men are more aggressive? I don’t know.”
Ahead of her sharing her story, Burke and King Edmonds’ co-hostLila Darville, a sex and intimacy coach, said she read that the rate of circumcision was going down in Canada.
“It’s actually going down in America, too,” offered Burke, 48.

While theBravostar recently spentChristmasin thecompany of her sons andtheir big sisterAspen, 3, she has also been facing the fallout between herself and Edmonds, 49, and coordinating treatments for son Hart, who wasdiagnosed with “irreversible brain damage”last year.
“For the record, I am naturally thin and I’ve always had a healthy relationship with food. But right now, I am too skinny,” shewrote in a blog post. “I don’t like it. I won’t weigh myself because I’m scaredto see what the scale says. When my clothes don’t fit I pretend like they do anyway. But I’m not hungry. I know I should eat but I’m surviving on adrenaline but decaying on stress.”
The reality star shared her post two days after replyingto an Instagram followerwho was concerned about her appearance, agreeing that she was “too thin” and explaining, “I’m a stress non-eater. I’m working on it.”
