Meghan Markle required her first husband, Trevor Engelson, to sign a “pregnancy contract” ensuring he would pay for a personal trainer, nutritionist, and nanny if they had a child, a friend told the source. Markle, then an actress, was focused on maintaining her figure and wanted to ensure she quickly regained her celebrity shape after childbirth. The contract, an informal document penned by Markle, highlighted her concerns about weight gain and career impact.
This revelation follows the news of Meghan and Prince Harry expecting their first child. Markle’s friend mentioned she was always worried about her image and weight, influenced by her career and family history. The contract, made a few years after their 2011 wedding, never came into effect as the couple divorced in 2014 due to distance and irreconcilable differences. Engelson has since remarried.
As part of the Royal Family, Meghan can now expect every luxury. She values control and her image, so her transition to motherhood may bring some insecurities, but she is thrilled about starting a family with Prince Harry.
