Meghan Markle and Trevor Engelson reportedly share some similarities with each other. According to Express, the exes are living very similar lives when it comes to the timeline of their respective marriages.
Markle and Prince Harry got engaged in 2017, and they tied the knot in 2018. Months later in 2019, the couple welcomed their first child.
Engelson and his wife, Tracey Kurland, got engaged in 2018 and they tied the knot in 2019. Earlier this year, the couple welcomed their first child.
In the book Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, one key difference between Prince Harry and Engelson was revealed.
According to royal author Andrew Morton, Engelson was brash, blunt, and ballsy. And these qualities make him different from Prince Harry.
As such, Express claimed that in this regard, Prince Harry may be a better fit for Markle.
Meanwhile, Markle and Engelson dated for six years before they got engaged in 2010. They tied the knot in Jamaica in 2011.
But after just two years, the exes announced their divorce and said that their split was due to their irreconcilable differences.
Following the divorce, Markle’s friend, Abby Wathen said that the Duchess of Sussex became empowered after her split from Engelson. After all, she knew that she wasn’t in the right relationship so she left.
Another source told The Sun that Engelson took the split very hard because it seemingly came out of nowhere. And while Engelson was still in the process of moving on from Markle, he found out that her ex-wife was already dating Prince Harry.
In related news, Morton detailed the fall out of Markle and Engelson’s marriage in his book.
He said that a friend of Markle learned that the Suits alum broke up with Engelson so suddenly. One morning, she just sent him her wedding ring back.
The royal author also accused the Duchess of Sussex of being a social climber because she wasn’t afraid of ending her relationship when she realized that it was no longer beneficial to her.
Markle and Engelson have not opened up about their divorce publicly so it’s unclear if the claims of the sources are correct.
But it seems that exes are not on speaking terms. After all, Markle’s former best friend, Ninaki Priddy told Daily Mail that Prince Harry’s wife cut ties with her after she found out that she had been talking to Engelson.
Priddy also said that the distance was the main cause of Markle and Engelson’s divorce.
