It has been reported that Cory Vitiello was dating Meghan when she first met Prince Harry
BEING dumped is never fun, but imagine being ditched and seeing your ex embark on a romance with an honest-to-God prince.
Here's all you need to know about Cory Vitiello who, according to reports, was dating Meghan Markle before she met Prince Harry.
Who is Cory Vitiello, where is he from and what does he do?
Cory Vitiello is a celebrated Canadian Chef who works in Toronto, Canada.
He was behind one of Toronto's most favoured restaurants - The Harbord Room - before shutting down the establishment and also runs a chicken restaurant chain called Flock.
In 2016, he downplayed being labelled a "celebrity" but agreed it was good for business.
"There’s no downside to being a well-known chef. There are thousands of great cooks in the city, and there are chefs who are more deserving of the celebrity than myself," he told Toronto Life.
When did Cory Vitiello date Meghan Markle and when did they break up?
Cory was said to be dating Meghan Markle between 2014 and 2016.
The American actress was one of the stars of legal comedy-drama Suits - which filmed in Toronto, where Cory is based.
The pair split in May 2016 - with the Telegraph reporting that Meghan was still with Cory when she first met Harry.
The prince was in Canada to promote the Invictus games in May 2016.
The chef refused to comment on the rumours that the Prince was part of the reason their relationship ended.
