Inside the Rumor: Meghan Markle and the “First Husband” Mystery That Won’t Go Away
It started as a whisper on social media — and like most royal rumors, it spread faster than anyone could have imagined. Now the Internet is buzzing once again with claims that a man named Joe Giuliano has stepped forward to “set the record straight” about his supposed connection to Meghan Markle.
There’s only one problem: no official record, document, or witness has ever confirmed that such a marriage took place. Yet the story refuses to die, fueled by curious fans, old photos of look-alikes, and endless speculation about Meghan’s pre-royal life in Los Angeles.
According to online chatter, Giuliano recently gave what was described as a “cryptic interview”, suggesting that his family once had “reservations” about a relationship with Meghan long before her royal days. He reportedly spoke of “different worlds, different ambitions, and a future that didn’t fit.” Within hours, the quote went viral — even though no reputable outlet could verify when or where it was said.
Still, the idea of a “lost first marriage” has proven irresistible to gossip forums. “People love the notion that Meghan has more secrets,” says Hollywood media analyst Jenna Brooks. “It’s classic tabloid fuel — love, rejection, mystery, and a dash of royalty.”
Supporters of the Duchess quickly hit back, calling the renewed rumor “recycled fiction.” “Meghan’s been a target for this kind of thing since day one,” one friend told reporters. “She’s a successful woman, and people invent stories to cut her down.”
Critics, however, argue that the speculation speaks to a larger public fascination with the Duchess’s every move — from her fashion choices to her friendships. “She’s polarizing,” Brooks adds. “Half the world wants to see her thrive, the other half wants to catch her out.”
What’s undeniable is the pattern: every few months, a new “revelation” emerges about Meghan’s past, only to fade once fact-checkers dismantle it. Yet by then, screenshots and headlines have already done the damage.
As for Meghan herself, she remains silent, continuing her rebrand through lifestyle projects and media ventures in California. Her team rarely comments on rumors, preferring to let the noise burn out on its own.
And Joe Giuliano? Beyond online speculation, his existence as a figure in Meghan’s story remains unconfirmed — a shadow born from gossip and Internet imagination.
Whether the tale began as a misunderstanding, a viral prank, or something else entirely, one thing is clear: in the world of royal celebrity, once a rumor takes root, it becomes part of the myth.
Until someone produces real proof, the “first husband” story remains just that — a modern fairy tale of whispers, headlines, and the world’s endless obsession with Meghan Markle.
