Meghan Markle's Whirlwind First Marriage and Divorce Revealed

In November 2025, new details have emerged about Meghan Markle's life before she became a royal. Prior to marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan was previously married to American film producer Trevor Engelson. The couple tied the knot in September 2011 at a barefoot ceremony in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, with 100 guests in attendance.

Described as "low-key, unpretentious and informal," Meghan and Trevor's wedding featured a "traditional chair dance" and even a "wheelbarrow race." However, the couple's marriage was short-lived, as Meghan's burgeoning career on the hit TV show Suits soon took her to Toronto, while Trevor remained in Los Angeles. Their long-distance arrangement, which was "primarily conducted on Skype," ultimately proved unsustainable.

Just two years after their fairytale wedding, Meghan decided their marriage was over. A friend of Trevor's revealed that he was "hurt beyond anything" by Meghan's "quick" and "unexpected" decision to end the relationship. Shortly after, Meghan sent Trevor his beloved engagement and wedding rings in the mail, finalizing their divorce in 2014.

For Meghan, the separation marked the start of her embrace of celebrity life in Toronto, where she quickly "hobnobbed with the son of former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney" and other high-profile figures. Meanwhile, Trevor went on to marry Tracey Kurland in 2019 and has since welcomed three children.
