Secret Lives of Hollywood Wives

STAR REVEALS THE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT WHAT THESE FAMOUS LADIES ARE HIDING IN THEIR SEEMINGLY PERFECT MARRIAGES.

Meghan’s SHADY PAST

She may seem like Prince Harry’s perfect wife, but Meghan Markle wasn’t always so wholesome. In her book The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister, Meghan’s estranged sibling Samantha Markle alleges that the former Suits actress, 40, cheated on her first husband, film producer Trevor Engleson. “We heard through the grapevine that Meg was involved with someone on the show,” Samantha writes. An insider confirms there were affair whispers: “Then she dumped Trevor out of the blue and just moved all her stuff out of the house. It took him years to get over her.”

Back then, Meghan was known as a love-’em-and-leave-’em type. “Men would come and go,” dishes the insider. “She’d hook up with guys and wake up the next morning thinking, ‘What have I done?’ Being faithful was not at the top of her list of priorities.”

The insider says the Duchess also dabbled in drugs. “Pot was illegal in California when Meghan was in her twenties, but that didn’t stop her,” the insider reveals, claiming that the star also got high at her 2012 Jamaican wedding. “By the end of the night most of the guests were rolling around in hysterics.”

No stranger to high jinks (hello, naked Vegas photos), Harry, 37, knows about some of the skeletons in Meghan’s closet, but not all. “They’re an open and honest couple, but they don’t know everything about each other,” says the insider of the pair, who share Archie, 2, and Lilibet, 6 months. “Meghan is prim and proper now, but she definitely went through a wild-child phase.”

Reese’s BAD HABIT

When Reese Witherspoon was arrested alongside husband Jim Toth in 2013 (he was cuffed for driving while intoxicated; she was charged with disorderly conduct after yelling at the cops), she swore she’d never make the same mistake again. But she hasn’t stopped drinking — even though Jim, 51, has reportedly expressed concerns over her boozy ways — and often tipples when he’s not around. “Reese doesn’t drink all the time but she definitely still enjoys having wine with dinner and she doesn’t see anything wrong with that,” says an insider. (Shortly after sharing her favorite margarita recipe on Instagram, the Morning Show actress, 45, posted herself making birthday cocktails for daughter Ava, 21.)

The mom of three (she and Jim welcomed son Tennessee in 2012 and she shares Ava and Deacon, 18, with ex Ryan Phillippe) may be acting out to cope with tension in her 10-year marriage to the former talent agent, whose start-up, Quibi, recently crashed and burned. “It’s Hollywood’s worst-kept secret that Reese and Jim have been struggling,” says the insider. “Jim’s ego took a hit when Quibi failed. Reese is understanding, but it frustrates her that Jim hasn’t bounced back yet.”
