In a surprising turn of events, Jessica Mulroney - the former best friend of Duchess Meghan Markle - has officially ended her 14-year marriage to Canadian television personality Ben Mulroney.
The Canadian stylist, who famously helped organise Meghan's 2018 royal wedding wardrobe, confirmed the separation in an emotional Instagram post that has since sent shockwaves through celebrity circles.
The End of an Era
The couple, once considered Toronto's golden pair, tied the knot in 2008 and went on to have three children together. Their picture-perfect marriage had long been the envy of Canada's social elite.
"After 14 years of marriage, we have come to the difficult decision to separate," Jessica wrote in her heartfelt statement. "We remain loving parents to our wonderful children who mean the world to us."
Royal Connections Fade
The split marks another chapter in Jessica's changing relationship with the British royal family. Once a constant presence in Meghan's life, the stylist reportedly grew distant from the Duchess following controversy surrounding her alleged "white privilege" comments in 2020.
Jessica's impeccable styling work for Meghan during the royal wedding - including the stunning Givenchy reception dress - had cemented her reputation as one of North America's most sought-after fashion consultants.
What Went Wrong?
While neither party has disclosed specific reasons for the separation, insiders suggest the pressures of maintaining a high-profile marriage while raising three children may have taken its toll.
Ben Mulroney, son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, continues his successful broadcasting career at Canada's CTV network. The couple had been living in their multi-million dollar Toronto home prior to the split.
As both parties navigate this new chapter, royal watchers speculate whether this development might affect Jessica's already strained relationship with her former best friend Meghan.
