Jessica Mulroney's Shocking Split: End of a Friendship with Meghan Markle?

SHOCKING CELEBRITY SPLIT: JESSICA MULRONEY AND HUSBAND BEN CALL IT QUITS AFTER 16 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

The Canadian style world is in shock as Jessica Mulroney, a close friend of Meghan Markle, has split from her husband Ben after 16 years of marriage. The news was revealed last night by PageSix, citing sources close to the couple.

For those who don't know, Jessica and Ben have been married since 2008 and have three beautiful children together - twins Brian and John, 14, and daughter Ivy, 12. But despite their seemingly perfect life, sources claim that they've been living separate lives for some time now.

THE WRITING WAS ON THE WALL

The signs were there all along. Jessica's Instagram posts showed her without her wedding ring in recent weeks, and she was spotted attending a wedding last month without her husband by her side. The stylist, 45, has been busy with her charity work and business ventures, but it seems that their marriage was on the rocks.

Ben, 49, is a TV presenter and radio host who comes from a powerful family - his father is none other than Brian Mulroney, the former Prime Minister of Canada. Ben's career at Canadian network CTV has spanned over two decades, and he's also hosted popular shows like Canadian Idol and Your Morning.

THEIR FADED FRIENDSHIP WITH MEGHAN MARKLE

But what's really interesting is that Jessica's split with Ben comes at a time when her friendship with Meghan Markle seems to have cooled off. The two women used to be inseparable, but after the 2020 "white privilege" row between Jessica and influencer Sasha Exeter, their friendship began to fray.

Sources claim that Meghan was already feeling frustrated with Jessica's attempts to make a career out of their friendship. "Meghan felt like Jessica was trying to ride her coattails," said an insider. "The white privilege row was just the final straw."

THE 2020 FEUD THAT ENDED THEIR FRIENDSHIP

For those who don't know, the controversy started when Sasha Exeter accused Jessica of being insensitive and dismissive during a conversation about racism. The feud escalated when Jessica responded with a series of passive-aggressive messages to Sasha, claiming that she was "trying to learn" and that her voice only mattered if she expressed it "with kindness and without shaming people."

Sasha later accused Jessica of "textbook white privilege," claiming that she had used her power and influence to silence her. The backlash was intense, with many calling out Jessica for her insensitive remarks.

A FINAL FAREWELL TO THEIR FRIENDSHIP?

It seems that Meghan has finally cut ties with Jessica after the controversy. There's been no mention of their friendship in Harry's book Spare or the couple's 2022 Netflix documentary, and Jessica wasn't invited to participate in Meghan's latest project With Love, Meghan.

But what about Jessica's other friendships? Sources close to the stylist claim that she's been struggling with loneliness since her split from Ben. "It can be tough being a single mom," said an insider. "Jessica is trying to stay positive and focus on her children, but it's clear that she's going through a tough time."

WHAT'S NEXT FOR JESSICA MULRONEY?

Only time will tell what's next for Jessica Mulroney. With her charity work and business ventures still thriving, it seems that she's got plenty to keep herself busy. But will she ever find love again? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, fans can stay up-to-date with Jessica's latest projects on her Instagram account @jessicamulroneyofficial. And as for Ben Mulroney? He's still going strong in his TV career and seems to be taking their split in stride.

As one source put it, "Ben is a true gentleman and will always take care of Jessica and the kids." We wish them all the best during this difficult time.
