In a jaw-dropping twist that’s reigniting royal drama worldwide, Trevor Engelson, Meghan Markle’s ex-husband, has finally broken his silence — and what he’s revealed about Meghan’s journey to motherhood is raising eyebrows across both Hollywood and royal circles.
Engelson, a Hollywood producer who was married to Meghan from 2011 to 2013, has largely kept a low profile since Meghan became the Duchess of Sussex. For years, he refused to speak publicly about their marriage or her new royal life, choosing instead to remain silent amid the media frenzy. But now, Trevor is talking — and he isn’t holding back.
According to close sources — and a newly surfaced interview that’s lighting up gossip blogs — Trevor allegedly spoke candidly about his past with Meghan, her desire to become a mother, and how it all ties into the way she managed her public image before and after marrying Prince Harry.
“Starting a family was always important to her,” Trevor reportedly revealed. “Even when we were together, she talked about it all the time. She wanted it on her terms, with a timeline she controlled.”
While Trevor didn’t directly comment on Prince Harry or Meghan’s children, sources say he hinted at the “pressure Meghan felt to shape her story” — especially once she entered the royal spotlight. His comments suggested that motherhood was not only a personal goal, but also a calculated part of Meghan’s long-term vision.
“She was always planning ahead,” Trevor allegedly said. “Her career, her brand, her legacy — none of it was accidental.”
Rumors swirled for years that Meghan and Trevor’s marriage fell apart partly due to distance and differing priorities, with Meghan laser-focused on her acting career in Toronto during her time on Suits. But according to this new account, the desire to have children — and control the narrative around her eventual motherhood — may have also played a role.
Insiders say Engelson’s revelations are not meant to attack Meghan, but rather to provide “his side of the story,” especially after years of being painted as a forgotten footnote in her rise to royalty. He reportedly wants people to know that Meghan’s image as a doting mom and compassionate humanitarian is real — but also part of a bigger picture she’s been carefully crafting for over a decade.
