According to a reliable source, the couple has decided to take some time away to figure things out, as they are dealing with a lot of stress and emotional issues, making life difficult for them. Taking time apart on different continents is hoped to provide them with the space they need to find clarity and move forward.
An insider close to Radar Online has mentioned the rumored split, branding it as inevitable, claiming that Harry doesn't quite fit into Meghan's Hollywood lifestyle. On the other hand, Harry's Polo friend, Nacho, has spoken out about the matter, setting the record straight and refuting the rumors. According to Nacho, it's all untrue and simply made up.
Meghan has had a reputation for alleged adultery, reportedly having affairs while still married to Hollywood producer Trevor Engelson. Her half-sister, Samantha Markle, claimed that Meghan's first marriage ended partly due to her affair with one of her co-stars from the show "Suits." Rumors continued to swirl even after her divorce, with Meghan being spotted with ice hockey player Michael Del Zotto. Although Del Zotto insisted they weren't in a romantic relationship, speculation persisted.
In 2014, Michael famously participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on social media, and Irish golfer Rory McIlroy randomly nominated Meghan to join in. Intrigued, she allegedly invited Rory to film the challenge together at a friend's New York City home. At the time, Rory had just ended his engagement with Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki and was said to be interested in brunettes.
They hit it off and went for a drink, then were invited to a dinner. The following morning, Rory had a golf competition, but despite a hectic night, he drove back to New York to see Meghan, and his performance suffered as a result. According to the author, Meghan was keen to use their close relationship to promote herself and encouraged the media to publish photos of them together.
Later, Meghan admitted that she had occasionally arranged paparazzi photos or let some information slip to the press due to all the hype surrounding her. Amid the media frenzy, Meghan's boyfriend at the time, Corey Vitiello, asked her if anything romantic happened between her and McIlroy, to which she denied any such thing. Despite the rumors, Vitiello chose to believe her.
A few months later, Meghan and McIlroy crossed paths again at the One Young World Conference. A gossip columnist reported that Meghan looked smitten and gazed intently at McIlroy throughout the meal. Once again, upset by the rumors, Vitiello questioned Meghan about any possible affair, and she assured him there was nothing going on.
Frustrated with the speculation, Meghan's representative released a follow-up statement clarifying that she and McIlroy were only friends. The situation highlighted the challenges and misunderstandings that can arise from intense media scrutiny, especially for public figures like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
