Why RHOC’s Meghan King & Cuffe Biden Owens broke up after just two months of marriage as she calls divorce ‘devastating’
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 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.
