Jessica Mulroney is divorcing husband Ben Mulroney after 16 years married — but it’s her friendship with Meghan Markle that she “somewhat regrets.”
Jessica’s fallout from the Duchess of Sussex, 43, “later caused tensions … in her marriage,” the Daily Mail reported Friday.
The stylist, 45, and Markle became estranged when Jessica was accused of racism in 2020 after allegedly threatening influencer Sasha Exeter’s career.
Amid the rampant online — and professional — backlash, Jessica issued an apology and Ben quit his job as a television presenter to help her.
“If [Jessica] could go back, a part of her wishes she was never part of [Markle and Prince Harry’s 2018] wedding,” an insider alleged.
“While she enjoyed all the exposure it brought her at the time, that same exposure is what caused her social media rift to blow up in the way it did and led to the end of her friendship with Meghan and her marriage,” the source claimed.
While Jessica “did consider Meghan family,” she now reportedly “sees that whole time as a ‘dark cloud.’”
Markle and Jessica’s reps have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The “I Do, Redo” alum initially insisted post-scandal that she was still close with her “kind” pal — but the duo noticeably stopped posting about each other in 2021.
Instead, Jessica has repeatedly made headlines for cryptic Instagram quotes over the years.
She hit out at people “looking for a way to be against” her in 2023 and admitted to “los[ing] friends” two years prior.
Page Six broke the news Tuesday that Jessica, who found “hope” in “sobriety and therapy” after the drama, is splitting from Ben.
We heard Jessica and the 49-year-old separated “some time ago.”
A source told us that the marketing consultant divulged the news to fellow guests at a recent Toronto wedding, noting, “Jessica seemed sad, but also relieved to have some clarity.”
She and Ben tied the knot in 2008 and welcomed three children — daughter Ivy and twin sons Brian and John — during their time together.
