Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been married for five years, but before Harry, Meghan was married to Trevor Engelson. Their marriage didn’t last and ended in a difficult split, but today both have found happiness in new lives. Surprisingly, Trevor’s success and wealth have sparked talk of how he might have gotten his “revenge” on Meghan.
Trevor Engelson, born in 1976 in Long Island, New York, studied communications at the University of Southern California. He started in film as a production assistant and worked his way up to film producer. His credits include movies like Remember Me, featuring Robert Pattinson, where Meghan had a cameo early in her career. He’s also been involved with productions such as License to Wed, All About Steve, and the TV show Snowfall. He now runs his own management and production company, Underground, in Beverly Hills, representing writers, actors, and directors.
Trevor met Meghan in 2004, and they dated for about seven years before marrying in September 2011 in Jamaica. The wedding lasted three days with about 100 guests, festivities, and even a wheelbarrow race. Despite this joyful start, Meghan’s time on Suits meant long-distance challenges since the show was filmed in Toronto. Their relationship began to change as Meghan settled into her career and life in Canada.
Their marriage ended in 2013 citing irreconcilable differences. Reports say Trevor was devastated by the breakup and that Meghan’s later relationship with Harry was painful for him, especially due to the media attention surrounding the royal couple. Meghan’s half-brother noted Trevor had “worshipped the ground she walked on.”
Not everyone knew the details of the split. Meghan was said to have distanced herself, influenced by new friendships and a desire for independence. A royal biographer described their different personalities—Trevor’s laidback approach contrasted with Meghan’s meticulous nature.
After the separation, Trevor kept a low profile but dated Real Housewives star Bethenny Frankel in 2018, who mentioned his previous marriage to Meghan. He also co-produced a show vaguely inspired by custody issues, though it never aired.
In 2019, he married Tracey Kurland, whose family has a substantial fortune from the mortgage industry. They have two daughters together. Trevor’s friend revealed that after all the struggles, Trevor is now the happiest he’s ever been, fulfilled as a father and enjoying life away from the spotlight.
According to the friend, Trevor has moved on completely. The “M” word is never mentioned around him, and his success and family life make it seem like he’s winning at life in his own way—perhaps the ultimate revenge.
Trevor and Tracey live in a wealthy Los Angeles neighborhood, and he’s known to adore his wife and children, always smiling when with them.
Meghan and Harry’s story continues to captivate, but Trevor’s life after their divorce shows a different path, one marked by new happiness and peace.
