Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been happily married for five years, but before Meghan became a duchess, she was married to Trevor Engelson.
Their marriage ended on a bitter note, but both have moved on and found happiness with other partners. Trevor, in particular, has created a fulfilling life for himself, proving that success and happiness can come after heartbreak.
Trevor Engelson was born on October 23, 1976, in Great Neck, New York. He began his career as a production assistant and worked hard to become a successful film producer.
Some of his notable projects include the movie Remember Me (in which Meghan had a cameo), License to Wed, and All About Steve.
He also became an executive producer for the TV series Snowfall. Today, Trevor runs a management and production company called Underground, where he manages screenwriters, novelists, actors, and directors.
Trevor and Meghan met in 2004 and dated for seven years before marrying in September 2011. Their wedding in Jamaica was a lively three-day celebration with parties, games, and even a wheelbarrow race.
At the time, Meghan was working as a briefcase model on the game show Deal or No Deal. However, Trevor’s demanding work schedule often kept him away, and his absence was noticeable.
As Meghan’s acting career advanced with her role in Suits, she had to move to Toronto for filming, while Trevor stayed in Los Angeles.
The long-distance relationship strained their marriage, and they divorced in 2013, citing “irreconcilable differences.” The split was hard on Trevor, especially since Meghan reportedly sent her engagement and wedding rings back to him, symbolizing the end of their marriage.
After the divorce, Trevor briefly dated Bethenny Frankel from Real Housewives of New York. In 2017, rumors circulated about Trevor developing a TV show about a man whose ex-wife marries a British prince, though it wasn’t directly based on his life.
In 2019, Trevor found love again with Tracey Kurland, the daughter of a wealthy mortgage executive. The couple married and now have two daughters.
Friends say Trevor is happier than ever and enjoys his role as a father, living a quiet, fulfilling life away from the spotlight.
