While Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been happily married for over five years, few people remember that Meghan was once married to film producer Trevor Engelson. Their first marriage ended under difficult circumstances, and although both have moved on to new relationships, many still wonder what Trevor is up to today and whether he ever sought “revenge” on Meghan after their split.

Born on October 23, 1976, in Great Neck, New York, Trevor Engelson began his career in the entertainment industry as a production assistant. Over time, he worked his way up to become a well-respected film producer, contributing to projects like Remember Me (2010), where Meghan had a cameo role, as well as films like License to Wed and All About Steve. He also served as an executive producer on the hit FX series Snowfall. Today, he continues to work behind the scenes in Hollywood, managing screenwriters, actors, novelists, and directors while running his own production and management company, Underground.

Trevor first met Meghan in 2004, and after dating for seven years, the couple tied the knot in September 2011. Their wedding in Jamaica was a lively, three-day celebration filled with games, parties, and even a wheelbarrow race. At the time, Meghan was still building her career, working as a briefcase model on the game show Deal or No Deal. Unlike many other husbands and friends who would visit their partners on set, Trevor rarely made appearances, which some of the models found surprising. However, his demanding schedule as a producer often kept him busy, making it difficult for him to be as involved in Meghan’s rising career as others expected.

Things took a turn when Meghan landed the role of Rachel Zane on the legal drama Suits, which required her to move to Toronto for filming. Meanwhile, Trevor remained in Los Angeles, deeply invested in his own projects. The long-distance aspect of their marriage became increasingly difficult, and by 2013, the couple filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

For Trevor, the split came as an unexpected and painful shock. According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, Meghan was the one who initiated the divorce and even returned her engagement and wedding rings by mail, signaling that their marriage was truly over. Heartbroken, Trevor struggled with the separation, as he had still been in love with Meghan and was unprepared for how quickly things ended.

After the divorce, Trevor attempted to move on and briefly dated Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel. While their relationship was short-lived, it showed that Trevor was beginning to put his past behind him. Then, in 2017, an interesting report surfaced—Trevor was reportedly working on a TV show about a man whose ex-wife marries a British prince, forcing him to navigate the complexities of shared custody. While the show was never officially linked to Meghan and Trevor’s real-life story, the timing and premise raised eyebrows, leading many to speculate that it was his subtle way of getting back at Meghan. However, the series never made it to production.

Despite the difficult years following his divorce, Trevor’s life took a positive turn when he met nutritionist Tracey Kurland. The couple married in 2019 in an intimate California wedding, marking a fresh start for Trevor. Tracey, who comes from a wealthy background—her father made an estimated $500 million in the mortgage industry—brought stability and joy into Trevor’s life. Today, the couple has two daughters, and those close to Trevor say he has never been happier.

A friend of Trevor’s has shared that he is now focused on his family, enjoying fatherhood, and finding fulfillment away from the public eye. His career continues to thrive, and unlike Meghan and Harry, who remain in the global spotlight, Trevor has embraced a more private, drama-free life. He has built a successful career on his own terms, proving that sometimes the best “revenge” isn’t through public spectacle—it’s simply by living well and being happy.

Trevor Engelson’s story is a powerful reminder that life goes on after heartbreak and that personal and professional success can take unexpected paths. While Meghan and Harry have their own version of success in the royal and celebrity world, Trevor has created a fulfilling life away from the chaos, filled with love, happiness, and stability.

Though his past marriage to Meghan will always be a part of his story, Trevor Engelson has moved on gracefully, proving that sometimes, the best way to handle the past is to focus on building a brighter future.
