Destined for Royalty: Meghan Markle’s Ex-husband, Trevor Engelson Marries Heiress
The former husband of Meghan Markle remarried this weekend in a lavish Californian ceremony almost a year after his former wife became royalty.
As the Duchess of Sussex was enjoying the heady days of new motherhood with Prince Harry by her side, on the other side of the world Trevor Engelson was also beginning a new chapter.
The Hollywood producer and director, 42, who married Ms Markle in 2011 before they divorced two years later, wed Tracey Kurland, a 31-year-old nutritionist and heiress to a multi million dollar fortune.
The couple chose the Rosewood Miramar Beach resort in the star-studded haven of Montecito, a few miles south of Santa Barbara, for their big day.
They have been dating since 2017 and got engaged last June on a trip to the wine region of Napa Valley.
According to guests who circulated photos on social media, they said their vows outdoors under a canopy of white roses and fairy lights on Saturday evening.
The bride chose a traditional, lace off-the-shoulder gown and the bridegroom wore a tuxedo. The bridesmaids wore gold dresses and wore crowns of baby’s breath flowers on their head, while Mr Engleson wore a dinner jacket and had baby’s breath as a boutonnière.
Guests were served oysters, caesar salad and burgers, including the vegan Impossible Burger.
An unnamed source told the US TV show Entertainment Tonight: “It couldn’t have been more different than the royal wedding,” the source says.
“This was not stuffy! It was fun and casual and absolutely beautiful. Everyone was having the best time, especially Trevor and Tracey.”
Mr Engleson and Ms Markle married at a beach resort in Jamaica. But two years later they divorced citing irreconcilable differences.
According to excerpts from Andrew Morton’s book Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, the marriage ended suddenly in August 2013.
“A wealthy entrepreneur friend claimed the marriage ended so abruptly that Meghan sent her wedding and engagement rings back to Trevor by registered post. Another source confirmed that the decision to end the marriage was made by her and that it had come ‘totally out of the blue’.”
It was later reported that their relationship faltered when the actress relocated to Canada for the filming of Suits.

Actor Lalude Laments Unpaid N1.5m Promised Him by MC Oluomo to Campaign for Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu
Nollywood actor, Fatai Adekunle Adetayo, popularly known as Lalude, has accused the president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), MC Oluomo, of failing to fulfil financial promises made to celebrities who campaigned for President Bola Tinubu and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, during the 2023 general elections.
Speaking during a recent episode of the Beyond the Fame podcast, Lalude expressed deep disappointment over what he described as abandonment, revealing that he and other entertainers were promised N1.5 million each by MC Oluomo but never received a dime.
Lalude, known for his iconic ‘babalawo’ roles in Yoruba movies, said he and other actors, including comedian Ganiu ‘Alapini’ Nofiu, were lodged and made to campaign for weeks without proper compensation.
According to him, they initially received N10,000 daily for feeding, but even that was stopped abruptly.
“We were camped for seven weeks. We trekked long distances every day while MC Oluomo followed us in his car. In the end, we were abandoned,” he lamented.
He claimed that both he and Alapini were promised N1.5 million each, a promise that was never fulfilled.
‘We finished the work and no dime was given to us. Is it good? It was MC who called us.
“MC promised me and Alapini. He asked us to demand for whatever we wanted. We did but we got nothing up till date.
“He took us to where we lodged to campaign for the president. He promised to give us N1.5 million each.
“Whoever is behind these misdeeds will not prosper. I know they will still come to us by 2027 and we are waiting for them?” He added bitterly.
This comes just days after veteran Nollywood actor Ganiu Nafiu, popularly known as Alapini, and actress Bukky Adekogbe Raji, also known as Aminatu Papapa, expressed deep regret for supporting President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential campaign.

Mr Peters was known for his work on several stage plays and sitcoms, including Extended Family, and he was behind the hit comedy sitcom Flatmates in the early 2000s. He was also regarded as a significant contributor to Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television space.
