Here's everything you need to know about Trevor, including why he and Meghan split and what he's currently doing...
Who is Trevor Engelson?
Trevor was born on 23 October 1976 in Great Neck village on Long Island, New York. He enrolled at University of South California's School of Communication, after which he started working as a production assistant. He worked his way up in the film industry to eventually become a movie producer. He also manages screenwriters, actors, novelists and film directors in LA.
His wedding to Meghan Markle
Meghan and Trevor first met in 2004 and dated for seven years before tying the knot on 10 September, 2011 at the Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The couple enjoyed a four-day celebration before Meghan and Trevor exchanged vows in a quick, 15-minute ceremony in front of 102 guests.
Why did they split?
The couple split within two years of marriage; they were divorced by August 2013, with Meghan and Trevor citing "irreconcilable differences". Reports have claimed that Meghan's acting role in was a catalyst for their break-up. The TV star was required to spend long periods of time in Toronto, where is filmed, while Trevor lived in LA. Meghan was still a newlywed when she landed her job on the legal drama, causing a long-distance battle at the start of their married life.
Royal biographer Andrew Morton writes in his new book : "Whether she wanted to admit it to herself or not, Meghan, who once said she couldn't imagine life without Trevor by her side, was now building a new world for herself. As Toronto was becoming more her home than LA, the dynamics in their relationship subtly altered. She was her own woman now, earning a steady income, making new friends on set and off, no longer dependent on her husband's connections."
