Who Is Tracey Kurland? New Details About The Heiress Married To Meghan Markle Ex, Trevor Engelson
Meghan Markle's ex just got remarried.
Meghan Markle's ex-husband just got remarried over the weekend. The 41-year-old film producer married a 32-year-old from California. The couple had been dating for a year. They got married in a private home in the affluent Los Angeles suburb of Hidden Hills, California on October 6th. Trevor was married to Meghan Markle from 2011 to 2013. He is most famous for producing the movie Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson. Who is Tracey Kurland?
1. A Los Angeles native
Tracey is a native of Los Angeles. She graduated from the University of Southern California in 2008 with a degree in communications. She got her masters degree in nutrition education at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York City in 2014. She has worked as a registered dietitian at The Renfrew Center in Los Angeles since early 2015. The Renfrew Center is the first residential eating disorder facility in the United States.
2. Daughter of a multi-millionaire
Tracey is the daughter of Sheila and Stanford Kurland. Stanford was the second most senior executive at mortgage lender Countrywide. He left in 2006 and sold $200 million in stock options. In 2008, Countrywide merged with Bank of America during the financial crisis. The company was largely blamed for the mortgage debts that set off the housing market implosion. Kurland then co-founded Penny Mac, another mortgage lender after the financial crisis. He stepped down as its CEO in 2016.
3. The wedding
Few images of the wedding have surfaced on social media. The ones that have show Engelson in a gray-blue suit with a pink shirt. The bride wore an off-the-shoulder, knee-length white dress with a stack of gold bracelets. The reception was reportedly decorated with strings of Mexican paper banners hung across a swimming pool and featured a tequila bar. Engelson proposed to Kurland in Napa Valley in June, two weeks after Meghan Markle married Prince Harry. The producer announced the news on Instagram, although his account is private. "Luckiest guy I know! Get ready to party!" he wrote in a post.
4. Trevor and the Duchess of Sussex
By comparison, Engelson's 2011 wedding to Meghan Markle was a four-day destination wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica with 102 guests. The former couple met in 2004 before Meghan was famous for her role on Suits. They dated for six years before getting engaged in 2010. The four-day wedding celebration included a brunch, a cocktail party, a barbeque, and human wheelbarrow races along the beach. Their relationship faltered when Meghan moved to Toronto to film Suits while Engelson remained in Los Angeles. The distance took its toll. They separated in the summer of 2013.
5. Trevor's TV show
After Meghan became engaged to Prince Harry, Engelson began writing a television show about an American actress and the ex-wife of the show's protagonist marrying a Prince. However, Meghan's friends convinced him to abandon the project so that it did not upset Meghan and Harry.
