Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Orange County" has always been a source of drama, but it looks like Meghan Edmonds won't be taking any part of it anymore as she is reportedly leaving the show.

According to All About The Tea, the publication exclusively confirmed that Edmonds will be leaving the show. Edmonds has been on the show for two seasons so far, and she's said to be leaving because she's having her first child. She'll be moving out of Orange County and coming back to her home in St. Louis. Edmonds is due to have her baby this coming November, and the current season has been covering her journey into motherhood.

She's married to former baseball player Jim Edmonds, and the move to Orange County was said to be done by the family so Jim could be close to his ex-wife who recently passed away due to cancer. Jim also has a teenage daughter from his previous marriage, but there has been no news on whether she'll be moving with her parents to St. Louis or not.

Though Meghan has been part of the show for only two seasons, she was able to stir up drama all on her own. Her online sleuthing hobby was used to expose Brooks Ayers — Vicki Gunvalson's boyfriend — for faking his cancer.

Though fans may not be able to see Meghan on the show anymore, she has recently gone to Bravo and shared her online blog for everyone to read. She took time to talk about the controversy of her drinking while pregnant, and she said, "I feel I need to comment yet again on all of the comments about me 'drinking while pregnant.' It's really upsetting to me that people would actually think I'd put my baby girl in danger by drinking alcohol."

She also said that the Irish pub that the girls went to was nice enough to give her a non-alcoholic beer so she could join in on the fun.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" airs on Mondays, 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
