Edmonds married former Major League Baseball outfielder Jim Edmonds in 2014. Together, the couple share three-year-old daughter Aspen and one-year-old twin boys Hayes and Hart.
In July of this year, Edmond’s son Hart was diagnosed with Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL), a brain injury to the white matter surrounding the brain. PVL, which is often found in premature or low birth weight babies, increases the risk of cerebral palsy, developmental delays and learning disorders. The most common symptoms of PVL include trouble with vision, tight muscles and decreased movement and developmental delays.

“I am too skinny. I don’t like it. I won’t weigh myself because I’m scared to see what the scale says,” she continued. “When my clothes don’t fit I pretend like they do anyway. But I’m not hungry. I know I should eat but I’m surviving on adrenaline but decaying on stress.”
The host of “Intimate Knowledge,” a new podcast with Brooke Burke, said that she eats breakfast everyday and “really goes for it” at lunch, but is rarely hungry after she puts her kids to bed.
By acknowledging her weight loss, Edmonds hopes to “take back control” although she admits she is “hurt” by the talk surrounding her body.
“I’m working on it,” Edmonds said. “Please, sit back and watch me thrive despite my setbacks.”
