Cleo, engaged to Hollywood mastermind Simon Kinberg, celebrated alongside a close-knit group of fellow Virgos.The guest list included notable names like Cameron Diaz, Sofia Richie, and Rachel Zoe.
However, Meghan Markle's absence from the festivities raised eyebrows, especially given her recent appearance in a photo alongside Cleo Wade at a brunch. Meghan has faced some mocking for not securing an invitation to the birthday party.
Nicole Richie, Lionel Richie's daughter and former best friend of Paris Hilton, is known for her early reality show endeavors. Interestingly, she and Cameron Diaz are sister-in-laws. It's worth mentioning that Meghan had previously mentioned meeting Cameron at a sushi place, which led to some speculations. However, it's unclear whether Meghan's non-invitation was related to any prior incidents.
Cleo Wade, an accomplished author, poet, and activist, is often seen at the forefront of Fashion Week events. Engaged to Simon Kinberg, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker known for his work on scripts like X-Men and productions like Deadpool and The Martian, Cleo shares some similarities with Meghan but appears to navigate the public sphere with more finesse.
Before her engagement to Simon, Cleo was in a two-year relationship with Senator Corey Booker, who is often touted as a future presidential candidate. With 779,000 Instagram followers and a TED Talk under her belt, Cleo has also worked as a model for American Eagle's Aerie campaign and enjoys a dedicated fan base.
Notably, Meghan Markle expressed interest in playing the role of Angelina Jolie in a proposed reboot of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith series. The original film, a hit centered around two spies who unknowingly marry while assigned to destroy each other, grossed $478 million worldwide.
However, Amazon Prime Studios is set to create a new series adaptation of Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Donald Glover as the lead, and Meghan Markle wasn't considered suitable for the part by scriptwriter Simon Kinberg.
Sources suggest that Kinberg believed Meghan lacked the necessary flexibility for the role and that her image and brand didn't align with the film's requirements. Despite Cleo Wade's prior friendship with Meghan, recent actions, such as Cleo removing her name tag from a photo celebrating Meghan's birthday, have indicated potential strain in their relationship. Furthermore, Meghan was notably absent from Cleo's recent birthday celebration.
So, it seems like there might be more to the story behind Meghan's absence from Cleo Wade's birthday party than meets the eye.
