‘Dark cloud of Meghan Markle': Ex-BFF Jessica Mulroney regrets royal wedding role that ‘blew up' her life
Meghan Markle's now-estranged best friend Jessica Mulroney doesn't exactly look back on their friendship fondly, in fact, she might just be hating it now. As per a Daily Mail report, Jessica believes the controversy that nearly derailed her career and shoved her out of the spotlight might never have happened if she hadn't been part of Meghan and Harry's 2018 wedding. Years later, with her 16-year marriage to Ben Mulroney over, she's back in the news, and now reportedly calling that royal friendship one of her biggest regrets. Also read: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to handle Netflix crisis Obama-style as bankruptcy rumours grow; new projects in pipeline Meghan and Jessica's friendship goes way back, long before the Duchess met Harry. They once considered each other family, but things went downhill in 2020. That year, Jessica was accused of racist behaviour by Canadian influencer Sasha Exeter, and the fallout was instant. She was dropped by brands, stepped away from TV, and went into full damage-control mode. Her husband, Ben Mulroney, then a well-known Canadian TV host, also quit his job to support her. Insiders now say that Jessica's fame, exposure, and the constant media glare blew the controversy out of proportion, something that might've faded quietly had she not been linked to Meghan. 'If she could go back, a part of her wishes she was never in Meghan and Prince Harry's 2018 wedding,' a source said. 'While she enjoyed all the attention back then, that same exposure is what made the social media fallout explode, leading not just to the end of her friendship with Meghan, but also the breakdown of her marriage.' Jessica once claimed they were still close, even after the scandal, and called Meghan 'kind.' But now, she reportedly sees that entire chapter of her as a 'dark cloud.' They haven't been seen together or mentioned each other online since 2021.

In 2023, she called out people who were 'looking for a way to be against' her. In earlier posts, she admitted she'd 'lost friends' after the scandal. Jessica and Ben have now decided to end their 16-year marriage. The couple, who share three kids, daughter Ivy and twin sons Brian and John, are heading for divorce. Page Six reported they separated a while ago, and Jessica was recently spotted at a wedding in Toronto where she reportedly told guests she felt 'sad, but also relieved' to finally have some clarity. Meghan and Jessica's friendship began on the sets of Suits in Toronto, and the duo instantly clicked over their shared choices in fashion, fitness, and career approaches. Jessica was reportedly also the one behind Meghan's wedding dress choice that her character, Rachel Zane, wore in the legal drama. The stylist was later spotted at the Sussexes' wedding as one of the prominent guests, and her twins took on the role of the page boys.

Park Bo Gum shocks IU with harsh beauty confession, admits to starving himself for clear skin: ‘I skipped meals'
Park Bo Gum and IU, Netflix's favourite couple from When Life Gives You Tangerines, reunited on the August 1 episode of music talk show The Seasons: Park Bo Gum's Cantabile. As the show aired its season finale, Bo Gum wrapped up his gig as host. The episode turned out to be a mix of surprises, emotions, and sweet moments, including a special message from BTS' Kim Taehyung aka V. During their chat, IU, whose very appearance left Bo Gum in tears, kicked things off by teasing him, saying the 'worlds of dermatology, comedy, and magic are nervous' because of him. In return, the Godd Boy dropped his beauty secret. Also read: Park Bo Gum turns 32: From Song Joong Ki to cult controversy, rare times the Good Boy got dragged into controversies Beyond just having that adorable puppy face, Park Bo Gum is also known for his flawless skin and is one of those rare Korean actors with glass-clear skin and zero surgeries, something his co-star IU (aka Lee Ji Eun) definitely wanted answers for. Responding to her tease about dermatologists being nervous, Bo Gum played along, joking, 'I heard that too. People say looking at my face is like getting a facelift.' While the audience laughed, he dropped something worth noting. To make sure he looked fresh on camera, Bo Gum said he wouldn't eat or drink anything the day before filming, just to avoid a pimple. 'I wanted to look my best,' he said, adding with a smile, 'I didn't even know why I was laughing.' He admitted, 'I really appreciate that people smile when they see my face, so every week before the shoot, I'd skip food completely, just to keep the pimples away.' IU was surprised and asked, 'Even you, Bo Gum?' He added that drinking less water helped him feel more energetic on shoot days. 'If I drink a lot of water and stay hydrated, I look fabulous during 'Cantabile' recordings.' When asked if there was a guest who stood out to him, Bo Gum mentioned Jang Deul Lae and jokingly said, 'The thought of wanting to remove the wedding ring…' He then congratulated her on her marriage and her resized ring, which drew more laughs from the crowd. Also read: Kim Taehyung's latest announcement sparks disappointment among BTS' global fandom a day after Jungkook backlash Bo Gum's close friend BTS' V (Kim Taehyung) couldn't make it to the show in person because he's currently in the US working on BTS' next album. But he made sure to send a special video message for the finale. The duo earlier headlined the Paris Fashion Week as the brand ambassadors of Celine. In the video, V said, 'Bo Gum hyung asked me, 'Taehyung Ah, when are you coming on the show?' But I'm in the US right now, so I couldn't make it. I feel bad. If we get a chance later, I'd love to shoot together.' The Winter Bear crooner then thanked fans for supporting Cantabile, promised a great new BTS album next spring, and told everyone to look forward to it. Park Bo Gum was visibly moved by the video. He just sat there in silence, reacting with a soft 'Oh,' while the audience applauded.
