He only recently went public with his relationship with Meghan
The couplewent public with their relationshipjust weeks ago, when King, 37, posted photos of the pair together on Instagram andcalled Owens “my man” in the caption.
“Trying my best to avoid any cheesy introductions like ‘my main squeeze’ … so just meet my man,” she wrote then.
Inan interview withBridesabout their wedding, King said the two clicked quickly.
“We connected on a dating app, texted for a day or two, then spent five straight hours on the phone the first time we spoke,” she says. “By the time that call ended, Cuffe was booked and packed for a flight to St. Louis that took off in about eight hours. Within a week, we were back on the East Coast, meeting his family, and starting to plan our future together. We didn’t leave each other’s side for weeks.”
The president’s nephew has mostly stayed away from the spotlight since before his uncle and aunt entered the White House earlier this year. But King, a former cast member onThe Real Housewives of Orange County, is no stranger to it.
King had been dating friendWill Roosthis year — as shefinalized her divorcefrom retired baseball star Jim Edmonds two years after they separated — and was previously in a relationship withChristian Schauf.
She and Edmonds share daughter Aspen, 4½, and twin sons Hart and Hayes, both 3.
All three kids were featured in Monday’s nuptials,with King tellingBrides: “We told the kids they could walk down the aisle with me if they wanted to and Aspen said she wanted ‘to throw flowers at me’ so it was decided she would be the flower girl!”
The president and first lady attended his nuptials
President and Dr. Biden, who had been in Delaware for the weekend, attended the “small, family wedding” at Owens' parents' home inKennett Square, Pennsylvania, according to the White House.
The Bidens then returned to D.C. on Monday afternoon.
