Jim Edmonds, 55, posted a series of family pictures on Instagram Sunday, November 30, expressing gratitude and tagging his current wife, Kortnie Edmonds. The photos captured Aspen's recent Taylor Swift-themed 9th birthday event, featuring a cake with "Feeling 9 (Aspen's Version)" and fondant hearts and guitars. Another decoration, a pink football with '87' in red icing, referenced Taylor Swift's connection to Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Aspen appeared delighted, holding pink balloons and opening a toy Labubu doll.
Jim Edmonds has seven children from three marriages. His first union with Lee Ann Horton, who died in 2015 from cancer, produced daughters Hayley and Lauren. He married Allisonne Rion from 2008 until their split, then wed Meghan King from 2014 to 2019, sharing Aspen and 7-year-old twins Hart and Hayes.
Earlier that week, Meghan King honored Aspen on her birthday via Instagram Stories, calling her "My favorite female to walk the earth. The light, my greatest joy." King described Aspen as a "spectacular gift God was 9 today" and affirmed her love. The former couple, wed in 2014 with Aspen born two years later and twins in 2018, has navigated tough co-parenting since their 2019 separation.
