Engelson is a producer who’s worked on films like License to Wed with Robin Williams, Remember Me with Robert Pattinson and, currently, a new film with Ryan Reynolds

He’s remained hush-hush about his former romance with the Suits star, but in 2017, he had plans to launch a ‘fictional’ series about a wife who leaves a husband for a British prince …

It’s difficult to imagine that Meghan Markle was ever romantically linked to anyone but Prince Harry, but long before the American actress found the love of her life in Buckingham Palace, she was actually married to a Hollywood exec.

It’s safe to say that her relationship with her first husband received nowhere near as much media attention as her current one though. Especially when you factor in the endless streams of Netflix, Spotify and book deals currently surrounding Harry and Meghan’s publicly broadcasted lives.
