RHOC alum Meghan King and Cuffe Biden Owens had a whirlwind wedding in October, but it spun into what she called a “devastating” divorce just two months later.
An insider opened up about what went wrong between the reality star and President Joe Biden’s nephew.
The Bravo star, 37, and Cuffe tied the knot in October after three weeks of dating.
But Meghan shockingly shared to her Instagram Stories on Monday that the pair called it quits.
“They didn’t really get the chance to know each other,” a source told Us Weekly on Tuesday. “She was hoping for this fairy-tale life with him, but it was far from it.”
The insider said that after the nuptials, they faced issues “that ultimately put strain on the marriage,” including where to live.
“She wasn’t ready to move her whole life back to California after she spent some time getting settled into Missouri.”
Meghan and ex-husband Jim Edmonds – who tied the knot in 2014 – share daughter Aspen, four, and twin sons Hayes and Hart, three in St. Louis.
King “was hoping” Owens would consider moving there, per the source, but that wasn’t the case.
‘LABYRINTH OF GRIEF’
Meghan confirmed the split on her Instagram Stories, writing in a series of earlier posts, “I’ve been asked by many outlets and individuals to comment on the state of my marriage.
“I am rattled. This situation is profoundly devastating. This is obviously not what I imagined when I made my vows – and I’m shocked and saddened by the way things turned out.”
“I am moving forward with my children as we privately process our pain and begin to let go of shattered dreams.”
She continued: “At this time I ask for your grace and gentle kindness as I navigate this labyrinth of grief with my family.”
The RHOC star also removed the last name of Owens from her Instagram and “wife” from her Instagram bio.
Meghan posted to her Instagram earlier this week about how she suffers from “anxiety and depression” in a video, saying her issues manifest in “hair loss.”
A SWEET CEREMONY TURNED SOUR
President Biden and Jill Biden were among the 50 guests at Meghan and Cuffe’s intimate ceremony, which took place at his childhood home in Pennsylvania.
While foregoing a traditional wedding gown, the TV star picked out a blazer dress by Rasario.
Cuffe wore a navy blue Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit for their special day.
The bride shared a photo of herself and her new husband in their wedding attire on Instagram.
She captioned her post: “We just knew. Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Owens.”
Meghan had previously finalized her divorce from ex-husband Jim.
Jim and his former wife had split in 2019 after the allegations that he was reportedly unfaithful.
SIGNS OF TROUBLE?
Meghan and Cuffe met on then dating app Raya, and the former Real Housewives of Orange County star was convinced she’d found The One.
She told Brides in October that “Cuffe was booked and packed for a flight to St. Louis” within days of their first conversations.
“We didn’t leave each other’s side for weeks,” she added.
Last week, a source told Page Six that Meghan “has told friends they broke up.”
The pair didn’t respond to the outlet when asked for comment.
Fans also speculated that the couple called it quits after Meghan posted a photo with her three children for the holidays, excluding Cuffe.
She wrote, “Attempting a family photo after waking up at 4:45 am on Christmas Day looks like (thanks for the pics @luciacolli_!) Merry Christmas! I hope Santa brings you a nap!”
