Jessica Mulroney’s Ex Gives Update on Meghan Markle Friendship Status

by

Mum’s the word within Meghan Markle’s inner circle.

It’s been a while since Meghan Markle and her friend Jessica Mulroney appeared to grow apart, and Jessica’s husband, Ben Mulroney, recently shared an update on their relationship. However, he noted he wasn’t at liberty to reveal many details.

The media personality said on the January 28th episode of the Can’t Be Censored podcast that it’s up to Jess to share her own story. They don’t want to speak for her, but as far as they know, things are going well between them.

Jessica and Ben, who split up in July after 16 years of marriage, were good friends with Meghan while she was filming the show Suits in Toronto. Their three children were even part of Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

Around 2020, Jessica’s friendship with Meghan reportedly began to fall apart. This followed an accusation from influencer Sasha Exeter that Jessica displayed “textbook white privilege,” for which Jessica later apologized. After the accusation came to light, Jessica removed herself from social media. When she returned, a photo from the royal wedding was missing from her profile, leading people to believe the two were no longer close.

Later that year, the 45-year-old offered insight into how she curates her online presence.

Jessica explained in an Instagram post from September 2020 that she sometimes deletes posts because she’s tired of seeing the bullying and hateful comments she’s received over the past three years, according to Entertainment Tonight.

She quickly reassured her fans that she and the star of With Love, Meghan were doing fine.

She firmly stated that she and Meghan are like family, emphasizing Meghan’s consistent kindness and daily support. She then criticized the negative and fabricated stories spread by tabloids, urging people to stop supporting them and declaring she was finished discussing the issue, according to People magazine.
