You may have heard of Trevor Engelson in the past couple of years, due to his connection to the Duchess of Sussex, but how much do you really know about this man? Probably not enough!
As he was coupled up with Meghan Markle for nearly a decade, it is only natural for people to wonder what the duchess' life used to look like. And what better ways to get the gist of Meghan's past life than looking at her ex? More specifically, her former husband, to whom she was married for two years.
Since Meghan and Trevor were granted a no-fault divorce in 2013, both have moved on with their lives. The former Suits actress married Prince Harry in 2018, while Trevor married a dietician, Tracey Kurland, in 2019.
However, we can't help but wonder: who is Trevor Engelson? We are revealing more about the man in this article.
10 He Was Born In New York
Meghan Markle is a former actress and her ex-husband, Trevor, is also involved with the world of entertainment. He is a New Yorker. More specifically, he was born in Long Island, in a region called Great Neck. Trevor was born on October 23, 1976, to a Jewish family. People within the film industry see Trevor as a true New Yorker. Does this mean the 43-year-old is hot-tempered? Or maybe he is known to be a fast talker?

9 Trevor Studied Journalism At The University Of Southern California
The 43-year-old East Coast native is a talented writer, as well as being knowledgable about media. Trevor honed his English language skills by studying journalism at the University of Southern California.
It is surprising that Trevor didn't pursue his academic life at an East Coast university, but then again, everybody needs a change from time to time. Not to mention the fact that Trevor would've probably never have met Meghan (who is rumored to be considering giving GOOP a little competition) if it wasn't for his move to Los Angeles.
8 He Now Works As A Producer And A Manager
Trevor might have studied journalism, but he decided to pursue a different career path after graduating from college. We can only deduce that he discovered a new interest in a new form of media, which is film. Trevor stayed in Los Angeles and he started his professional life as a production assistant. He then became a talent manager before finally creating Undeground, his very own production company. That company was founded in 2001.
7 Trevor Was Invited To The Schmoes Know Podcast
In 2011, the 43-year-old producer was invited to participate in a podcast. Trevor was a guest speaker on a podcast series called "The Schmoes Know". The series was run by a production called Schmoedown Entertainment Network, which currently runs content on YouTube and different online platforms. The content is about movies and the industry.
Trevor was invited to speak about screenwriting and what it takes to make it into the industry. He gave tips for aspiring writers and directors and also talked about how to become a Hollywood producer.
6 He Met Meghan Markle In 2004
How Trevor and Meghan really met isn't exactly clear. However, we can only assume that the former couple must've crossed paths somehow while working in Hollywood. Apparently, they met in 2004.
At that time, Trevor had just founded his company Underground, and Meghan was working on a TV show called Century City, where she played the role of a woman called Natasha. At the time, the Long-Island producer was 28 years old while the Duchess of Sussex was only 23.

5 Trevor Was In A Relationship With Bethenny Frankel
That's right, Meghan Markle's former husband dated the Real Housewives of New York legend, Bethenny Frankel. This doesn't come as a big surprise, as both Trevor and Bethenny are entrepreneurs who come from New York. Surely, they must've had a lot in common...and plenty to talk about. The 49-year-old businesswoman revealed that they both met in Chicago and were romantically involved for a short period of time.
4 His Most Recent Work Involves Series Documentaries
It seems that the producer has taken a new interest in his career, which includes a more educational type of filmmaking. Trevor's latest projects are documentaries. He was most recently the executive producer of the upcoming TV documentary series', Parenting Without Borders and Dream Team: Birth of the Modern Athlete. Trevor also worked on L.A. Burning: The Riots 25 Years Later in 2015, which is another TV movie documentary.
3 Trevor Has Also Dated Charlotte McKinney
After a not-so-happy ending with the future Duchess of Sussex, Trevor started to enjoy his life as a bachelor. Shortly after his divorce from Meghan was finalized, the 43-year-old procured started to date the Baywatch actress, Charlotte McKinney. This was before Trevor finally met his soulmate, Tracey, in 2018. Trevor and Charlotte's love story was short-lived, and few photos of two are out there.
2 He Is Currently Expecting His First Child
Fortunately for the New Yorker, a happy ending was waiting for him. Not only did he remarry in 2019, but he has also recently revealed a new piece of amazing news. Although Trevor's social media accounts are all private, this didn't stop the world from finding out about Trevor and Tracey's special announcement on Instagram.
Trevor just revealed on Instagram that he and his wife were expecting their first child in September. The producer even revealed the gender: the future parents are expecting a baby girl.
