Five years have passed since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were wed.
Previously, the actress was wed to Trevor Engelson a long time ago. But regrettably, it didn’t last and ended poorly.
Trevor and Meghan are both contentedly married today. The Suits star’s ex-husband has an incredible wealth, and you might be surprised by what he does for a living.
In reality, not a lot is known about Trevor’s life. However, a few days ago, one of his friends came out and shared fresh details about what transpired, including how Trevor exacted his “revenge” on the Duchess.
Meghan initially got to know Trevor Engelson while she was just starting her acting career, which would go on to become very successful. He was born in Great Neck, Long Island, New York, on October 23, 1976, and went to the University of Southern California’s School of Communications, according to IMDb.
Who is Meghan Markle’s ex-husband Trevor Engelson?
In the film industry, Engelson began as a production assistant and worked his way up to become a producer. He has contributed to numerous films, including Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me (2010). Early in her acting career, his then-girlfriend Meghan Markle had a brief appearance in one of his films.
Additionally, Engelson has worked on films including All About Steve and License to Wed. He has also served as executive producer for six of the Heathers television remake’s episodes. The FX television series Snowfall, which concluded its sixth and final season earlier this year, has been Engelson’s biggest hit in more recent years. With its main office located in Beverly Hills, California, Underground, his own production and management firm, released it.
When not on set directing movies and TV series, the 45-year-old in Los Angeles represents screenwriters, novelists, actors, and film directors, according to Grazia.
So, how did Meghan Markle and Trevor get together? The Sun claims that their paths touched for the first time in 2004. After dating for around seven years, the couple tied the knot in September 2011. Their three-day nuptial ceremony was held at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
The Sun claims that the pair planned events for almost a hundred people, including breakfasts, drinking games on the beach, parties, and even a wheelbarrow race. The ritual? That was only fifteen minutes ago.
Meghan was a briefcase model on the game show Deal or No Deal, as previously noted. But according to Meghan: A Hollywood Princess by author Andrew Morton, Trevor wasn’t too thrilled to see her when she was filming.
Trevor Engelson was ‘to busy’ to visit his wife
Engelson didn’t visit her like other model husbands or friends did, which Morton (via Express) described as “unusual.” This was reportedly due to his busy schedule as a producer, which even prevented him from accompanying Meghan on a trip during her free time.
“They were driven individuals, Trevor was busy, if not more so than his girlfriend,” royal biographer Andrew Morton wrote in Meghan: A Hollywood Princess.
“It was also noticeable that, unlike the boyfriends and husbands of her Deal or No Deal sisters, Trevor never visited Meghan on set.
“It was so unusual that his absence was commented on by the other girls. However, there were plenty of other celebrities, mainly sports stars, who dropped by, some clearly trying to get up close and personal with the girls,” he added.
2011 was Meghan Markle’s TV series debut; it was also the year she got married to Trevor. The show was primarily taped in Toronto, so she moved there shortly after it became an immediate success.
Only a few months prior to Meghan’s marriage to Trevor, she was cast in the part, and their five-hour flight distance became a barrier to their married life. Video chats allowed them to stay in touch, but they were unable to resolve the difficult circumstance.
According to Andrew Morton’s book Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, “Whether she wanted to admit it to herself or not, Meghan who once said she couldn’t imagine life without Trevor by her side, was now building a new world for herself.”
Allegedly, Meghan Markle sent Trevor Engelson a picture of her wedding band.
“The dynamics in their relationship subtly changed as Toronto began to feel more like home than Los Angeles.”
Up to 2018, Markle appeared in over 100 episodes of Suits. However, she had divorced Trevor Engelson by 2013. At the time, the pair cited “irreconcilable differences.”
Trevor “worshipped the ground she walked on,” as Markle’s half-brother Thomas subsequently revealed to Express.
In 2017, a source revealed to The Sun that Trevor was “devastated at the split.”
“She suddenly had no more time for him. Meghan broke Trevor’s heart, pure and simple. He is still in love with her and so the revelation of her new relationship with Harry has hit him hard.”
According to royal author Andrew Morton, Trevor was taken aback by the breakup, and Meghan even sent him a picture of herself and her rings as a clue that their union was over.
“As Toronto was becoming more her home than LA, the dynamics in their relationship subtly altered. She was her own woman now, earning a steady income, making new friends on set and off, no longer dependent on her husband’s connections.”
Separated in 2013
In fact, it appears that Meghan and Trevor’s spit was really dramatic. Regardless, Nikki Priddy, a former childhood friend of Meghan, and novelist Lady Colin Campbell appear to agree.
Meghan started hanging out with celebrities after moving to Toronto, including celebrity stylist Jesica Mulroney, according to Campbell’s account in the book Meghan and Harry: The Real Story.
The former Suits star decided to cut ties with her ex-husband as a result.
Lady Colin Campbell wrote, “Trevor had always been laidback where she was controlled and controlling.”
“He would arrive for appointments slightly late and disheveled, his shirt out of his trousers and maybe a spot of food on his lapel, while the perfectly contained and self-possessed Meghan was always immaculately turned out.”
In 2013, Meghan Markle and Trevor Engelson parted ways. What then transpired? Meghan’s future actions are well known, but Trevor, despite his continued prominence as a producer, stayed out of the news and didn’t make any appearances in interviews.
Trevor dated Bethenny Frenkel, a celebrity from Real Housewives of New York, following their breakup with Meghan.
She acknowledged that they were dating and that she was aware of his past with Meghan in an interview with the Australia Kyle and Jackie O Show in April 2018.
“I met him in Chicago, and we were supposed to go out, and I ended up seeing him one time, and he’d been texting me. He’s a producer in LA. He told me that he was married before, he’s divorced [now]. He was married to this girl named Meghan Markle from the TV show Suits.”
