When Heather asked Meghan how she's handling her new single life, the Missouri native confessed, "It’s good. I feel I’m in a great place. I just bought my nanny a car. I bought myself a car. To open my garage door and look at my two cars that I bought and think about my house and my kids and my nanny, who I’m taking care of, these five people that are under my responsibility, it’s empowering."

Meghan revealed last month that she's open to dating someone new but she's not okay with being in a relationship with a man who has kids. She told Nick Viall on the January 29 episode of his The Viall Files podcast, “I love kids and I loved being a stepmom, but it’s just a lot of baggage.” She added that her former step kids and Jim's adult daughters, Hayley and Lauren, cut off ties with her.
