Meghan Markle's exes: actors, athletes, a chef and a business mogul
Before and after marrying the actress, she had several romantic relationships
Earlier this year, a new book published on Meghan Markle claimed that her former boyfriends included an Irish golfer, a Canadian ice hockey player and even a chef. However, a few days ago, the British newspaper "The Sun" added some more names to the list of men who have passed through the life of the future royal bride, 36, before meeting her future husband, Prince Harry , in 2016. "She was never without a boyfriend for much more than two or three months and always made an effort to have someone by her side," a source told the aforementioned publication.
Everyone knows the story of the ex-husband of the American actress, Trevor Engelson (41 years old), a film and television producer, with whom she was married for two years. They met in 2004 and were engaged for six years until they got engaged in 2010. Two years later they signed the divorce papers for "irreconcilable differences."
A couple
However, before and after marrying the actress, she had several romantic relationships. One of them, according to "The Sun", was a wealthy business magnate whom she met while studying and working in Argentina in 2002. "It was the typical case of: 'I'll send a car to pick you up, get ready.' She got carried away by that, "says the source. The years in which Markle was as an aspiring Hollywood star she dedicated them to establish friendships and short-term relationships with other actors and occasionally the writer of comedies Shaun Zaken. It is also rumored that she was on a single date with one of the "Scary Movie" stars, Simon Rex, who starred in several adult films before reaching fame as an actor, rapper and comedian. The couple met while filming a movie.
Another of her best known loves was Steve Leporeen, a basketball player she fell in love with during her freshman year in college. “Meghan used to be the 'star' of the couple, but Steve was the star of the basketball team. He had never dated someone like that, "says the source to the publication. According to Emily Herbert's book, "Harry and Meghan: The Love Story," this player was not the only athlete she was associated with before meeting the prince. In 2013 Herbert claimed that she struck up a special friendship with ice hockey star Michael Del Zotto, with whom she posted several photos of her on social media. However, Markle's spokesperson flatly denied that she had a romantic relationship with him. A year later the actress was again related to a sportsman.
This time it was Irish golfer Rory McIlroy. In 2014 the couple were photographed having dinner together in Dublin, and later McIlroy posted a video throwing a bucket of ice water on the actress's head appeared on Instagram as part of the "ALS Ice Bucket" challenge. That same year, Herbert claims that she began a relationship with Canadian chef Cory Vitiello, with whom she moved into a house to live as a couple.
The couple reportedly split in May 2016, two months before Markle was introduced to Prince Harry by a mutual friend. After six months as boyfriends, Harry was forced to release an official statement about the relationship in November 2016, condemning the media for invading the privacy of his girlfriend. A year later, the couple announced their engagement.
