Meghan King Opens up About Why She Married Cuffe Owens and What's Next Now That They Split

Meghan King is opening up about her marriage with Cuffe Owens, as well as their subsequent break-up a little more than two months after tying the knot.

The Real Housewives of Orange County alum has been candid about her connection with Cuffe, how the two first met and started dating, and how the pair "spent five straight hours on the phone" the first time they spoke. She has also previously addressed just how difficult their split was for her in a statement on Instagram, saying, in part, "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."

Recently, Meghan revealed more details about her marriage and annulment with Cuffe during her March 31 appearance on Radio Andy's Jeff Lewis Live.

Meghan also continued to share how she initially felt about Cuffe and their marriage, adding, "So, you know, he said all the right things and the families were a good, good fit.

In recent weeks, the RHOC mom-of-three has opened up on Instagram about her "solo journey" as well as shared plenty of good times with her kids. 

"A masterdate can feel uncomfortable. Dating yourself means getting to know the real you without filters," Meghan wrote in the caption of her March 20 post, referring to her previously mentioned concept of "masterdating" — dating herself. 

She went on to add, "One of my first masterdates was getting my SCUBA certification and with each dive I’ve continued my solo journey of finding out what it means to love myself. Diving is the one of the most intimate experiences one can have with oneself from safety to beauty and ultimately building confidence."

In addition to her solo time, Meghan also spent quality time at the beach with her children, sharing the fun-filled moments in her March 23 Instagram post, captioned, "Beach trips with kids be like..."
