Six years after their wedding, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are still one of the most famous couples in the world.
Markle’s life has gone through significant changes over the years, from being the girl on Deal or No Deal to playing Rachel Zane on the popular TV show Suits, and finally joining the British royal family. She and Harry currently reside in California and have two children, Lilibet Diana and Archie.
However, the actress married Trevor Engelson, whom she met in 2004 before she became the Duchess of Suss*x.
So what is known about Meghan Markle’s first husband?
He was born in Great Neck, Long Island, New York on October 23, 1976, according to IMDB, and attended the University of Southern California’s School of Communications.
Before becoming a producer, he started in the film industry as a production assistant. He has worked on a number of projects over the years, including the 2006 film Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson. He also co-produced All About Steve and License to Wed.
Meghan and Trevor got married at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica after seven years of dating. More than 100 people attended the three-day celebration, which included wheelie races, brunches, and drinking games on the beach.
While she was filming Deal or No Deal, Trevor never visited her on set, but the other women did, according to the book Meghan: A Hollywood Princess by author Andrew Morton. He was apparently too busy with his career to see her during the filming of the quiz, so he didn’t even go out with her when she was off.
Royal biographer Andrew Morton writes in Meghan: A Hollywood Princess: “They were driven individuals, Trevor as busy, if not more, than his girlfriend.”
It was also apparent that Trevor never visited Meghan on set, unlike her Deal or No Deal sisters’ husbands and boyfriends.
“It was so unusual that the other girls commented on his absence.
“However, many other celebrities stopped by, mainly sports stars, some apparently trying to get close to the girls,” he said.
In 2011, Meghan made her Suits debut and married Trevor. She obviously spent a lot of time in Toronto, Canada, where most of the series was filmed.
In Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, Andrew Morton stated: “Whether she wanted to admit it or not, Meghan, who once said she couldn’t imagine life without Trevor by her side, was now building a new world for herself.”
“As Toronto became her home more than LA, the dynamics of their relationship subtly changed.
Just two years later, Meghan and Trevor called it quits on their marriage, claiming there were “irreconcilable differences” at the time.
In 2017, a source told The Sun, “Trevor was devastated by the split”.
Suddenly she didn’t have time for him.
Simply put, Meghan broke Trevor’s heart. He was devastated by the news of her new relationship with Harry and still has feelings for her.
Meghan began hanging out with celebrities, particularly celebrity stylist Jessica Mulroney, after she moved to Toronto, according to Lady Colin Campbell, author of Meghan and Harry: The True Story. She became estranged from Trevor because of her new friendships.
Lady Colin Campbell said: “Trevor was always relaxed where he was controlled and controlled.”
“He’d come to meetings a bit late and disheveled, with his shirt off his trousers and maybe a bit of food on his lapel, while perfectly contained and confident Meghan was always immaculate.”
According to a friend from Meghan’s early years, she felt her husband was “embarrassed” by her reputation when she became famous.
“According to Nikki’s interpretation of Meghan’s motives, when she found a new and ‘posh’ circle of friends, she didn’t want to be stuck in her embarrassing bad relationship with her husband or even with her old and lesser-known circle of friends. Colin Campbell wrote in his book.
Interestingly, Meghan has never spoken publicly about her divorce. Trevor didn’t say anything either. More interviews with Trevor have now been promised to his admirers by the author Tom Bower, who is about to publish a new book about Meghan Markle.
“This particular individual would have a really remarkable story because, after all, he would have first-hand experience of what it was like, yes, what it was like, to be married to a Suits actress for the first time,” Bower said. Wales online.
In conclusion, Meghan Markle’s first marriage to Trevor Engelson is a chapter in her life that remains largely overshadowed by her more public relationship with Prince Harry. Despite the lack of public comments from Meghan or Trevor regarding their divorce, it’s clear from various reports that the dynamics of their marriage have been complicated. As Meghan’s career flourished with her role in *Suits* and her increasing involvement in high-profile social circles, her relationship with Trevor began to falter, leading to their eventual separation.Â
The contrast between their lifestyles – Trevor was described as laid-back and unkempt, while Meghan pursued a more polished and polished image – appeared to create a growing rift. This difference in approach to life, combined with Meghan’s growing celebrity, added to the strain on their marriage. With Trevor reportedly struggling with the breakup, especially as Meghan’s relationship with Harry blossomed, it’s clear that the breakdown of their marriage had a deep emotional impact on him.Â
Meghan’s personal transformation from Hollywood actress to duchess has been marked by this pivotal period, but it has also highlighted the complexities of balancing personal relationships with the demands of a burgeoning public career. With new revelations about her past marriage expected in upcoming books, Trevor Engelson’s look at their time together may offer another glimpse into the woman Meghan was before she became the global figure she is today.
Despite the heartbreak, Meghan and Trevor have clearly grown apart and their lives have taken a completely different direction since the divorce. However, the story of their marriage continues to shape Meghan’s narrative even as she and Harry move forward on their own journeys.
