Simon Rex Clears Up Meghan Markle Relationship Rumors
Simon Rex has finally addressed the speculation surrounding his connection with Meghan Markle, setting the record straight on any lingering rumors and revealing whether they have stayed in touch since their brief interaction in 2022.
The 50-year-old actor made headlines in 2022 when he disclosed that multiple British tabloids had offered him $70,000 to fabricate a story about a romantic relationship with Meghan before she married Prince Harry.
Despite the tempting offer, Simon chose integrity over money, refusing to spread falsehoods about the royal family.
Meghan took notice of his decision and personally thanked him with a heartfelt letter, expressing her appreciation for his honesty.
*"It's nice to know there are still good people,"* Meghan wrote.
Simon was so touched by the gesture that he framed the note, later sharing with fans how much he admired Meghan’s handwriting.
But has he remained in contact with the Duchess of Sussex since then? During a recent interview at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2025, Simon was asked if they had kept in touch.
*"No, no,"* he said, shutting down any speculation. He also clarified the nature of their relationship.
*"I never dated Meghan. It wasn't dating, no. That story was definitely exaggerated."*
Simon emphasized that their connection was purely based on mutual respect, and Meghan’s note was simply her way of acknowledging his decision to stand by the truth. He still keeps the letter displayed on his wall as a reminder of that moment.
While promoting his latest film, *Magic Farm*, Simon was also asked about Meghan’s upcoming Netflix cooking series, *With Love, Meghan*. Though he admitted he wasn’t familiar with the details, he had nothing but support for her new venture.
*"Oh cool. Good for her,"* he said.
