Meghan Markle demanded her first husband sign “pregnancy contract” to pay for personal trainer, nutritionist and nanny so she’ll stay in top celebrity shape after baby

It has been revealed that The Duchess of Sussex made her first husband Trevor Engelson agree to sign a “pregnancy contract” ensuring that he will pay for certain things to ensure that she was afforded every possible luxury if she agreed to have his baby.

A close friend of Meghan Markle told Daily Mail that Meghan, who was a fast-rising actress at the time, was concerned about her career and how having a baby could affect it. The insider said Meghan was focused on making sure that she doesn’t lose her figure, so she demanded husband Trevor Engelson pay for a personal trainer and a nutritionist to help her along if they conceived. The contract also specified that he will pay for a nanny when the baby comes.

Pregnancy contracts are increasingly popular in the US, particularly in Meghan’s hometown of Los Angeles.

The friend told Dailymail:

It came up at a time when they were considering having a family, at some point in the near future.

She knows the heavy-weighted body-type runs in her family and has always been terrified of putting on extra pounds, particularly given her career at the time.

Anytime she puts on a bit of weight, it shows on her face, so she wanted to make sure she would be camera-ready very quickly.

She demanded a personal trainer and nutritionist during and after the pregnancy.

I’m sure a nanny was discussed too, but the main focus for her was on health and weight.

The friend added:

Meghan may have only just joined the Royal Family, but she always wanted to be treated like a princess.

The friend said that no lawyers were involved in the pregnancy contract. It was just Meghan penning an informal document for her husband to sign.But the Duchess, 37, was deadly serious about the contract and Engelson had no choice but to agree.

The friend said:

She says she got him to sign something, maybe just a handwritten letter that she could hang over his head.

You know what they say – happy wife, happy life. He knew he married someone who was very concerned about her image, and at times very insecure about her body, so he just went along with it.

She wouldn’t have taken ‘no’ for an answer and he knew it. But the end of her marriage came before they could take any of the plans forward.

Engelson, 42, and Meghan met in 2004 before she became famous on Suits and dated for six years before getting engaged in 2010. They got married in Jamaica in 2011 in a ceremony that lasted 4 days.

The friend said Meghan will really love her new life because she always wanted to be pampered like a princess.

She loves to be pampered, so she will be as happy as can be I’m sure.

She has always wanted kids and a ‘nuclear family’ structure, so she will be very excited about it. She is going to be beaming into motherhood.

And to be able to have it all – to be a symbol of feminism and empowerment as well as motherhood and royalty at the same time – it is all that she could want.

The friend went on to add that Meghan always likes to be in control and Harry might be in for a “bumpy” ride.

Meghan likes to be in control, and her image is very important, so she could be a little scared and insecure about what’s to come.

I hope he is ready to hold her hand and let her be the center of attention.

Of course her own problems with her father are well-documented, so she will be setting Harry some very high standards.

She has essentially dismissed her father to be with him, so she will be expecting him to step up for sure.’
