Engelson was also, apparently, extremely positive, and told Markle, "Hope is the greatest currency we have in this business." His lame pick-up line worked, and the pair began dating.
However, their relationship experienced problems early on. Engelson was apparently working on the 2007 movie License to Wed, starring Mandy Moore and John Krasinski. According to Morton, "Meghan secretly hoped there would be a role for her. It was to become a source of conflict for the couple, with Meghan disappointed that Trevor didn't try harder to include her in some of his productions."
Markle and Engelson got married in 2011, but they divorced just two years later in 2013. While Markle had relocated to Toronto for Suits, Engelson stayed in Los Angeles. The distance made their marriage more challenging.
"Trevor went from cherishing Meghan to, as one friend observed, 'feeling like he was a piece of something stuck to the bottom of her shoe.' 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 confirmed that the decision to end the marriage was made by Meghan and that it had come 'totally out of the blue.'"
Apparently, Engelson "can barely contain his anger" about the brutal situation even now.
According to Morton, "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."
