Jessica Mulroney says she’s the ‘luckiest person in the world’ to enjoy a ‘girls’ night out’ with her daughter Ivy, 9, after being ‘ditched’ by former party pal Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle’s former BFF has found herself a new pal to accompany her as they paint the town red – her nine-year-old daughter Ivy.

The Canadian stylist, 43, who met the Duchess of Sussex, 42, on the set of Suits in Toronto could once be photographed frequenting the nightlife scene in Canada with her best friend at her side.

After Meghan met Prince Harry and moved to the UK, the pair remained extremely close, with Ivy even being a bridesmaid at the Duke and Duchess’s wedding in Windsor in 2018.


However their friendship appeared to cool in 2020 when Jessica was caught up in a  social media storm in which she was accused of demonstrating ‘white privilege’ in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement – and they haven’t been seen together since.

Despite rumours of a rift between the former best friends, Jessica has seemingly moved on, as she posted an adorable reel on Instagram of herself and Ivy in a cab home after enjoying ‘girls’ night out’ together.

The short clip shows the couple giggling together as Ivy shouts: ‘Girls’ night out!’ It then cuts to another clip of mother and daughter at a restaurant where they order steak frites.

Posting the reel on her Instagram grid on Tuesday, Jessica wrote: ‘Do you ever want to press pause on time? My nights out with Ivy always make me realize I am the luckiest person in the world and all the rest is just noise.’

Meghan previously gushed about Jessica on her now-defunct lifestyle blog The Tig – and made particular mention of her presence when she goes out. 

In a resurfaced post from December 2015, the Duchess said that ‘the room stops’ whenever her friend ‘shows up at an event.’

She added she asked her stylist friend for advice on ‘what I should wear for Christmas parties and New York soirees’ – many of which they attended together.

However, Jessica and her former girls’ night out pal, Meghan, appeared to fall out when the stylist came under scrutiny following the murder of George Floyd in 2020 which sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.

Lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter called out Jessica Mulroney, who ‘took offence’ to a ‘generic call to action’ post Sasha had shared about the Black Lives Matter movement.


In a follow-up video, Sasha said: ‘What happened next was a series of very problematic behaviour and antics […]

‘I’m by no means calling Jess a racist but what I will say is this: She is very well aware of her wealth, perceived power and privilege because of the colour of her skin and that, my friends, gave her the momentary confidence to come for my livelihood in writing. Textbook white privilege really, in my personal opinion.’

Following the blogger’s claims, Jessica issued three public apologies, however she still faced consequences and was dropped by numerous television networks.

DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that ABC severed ties with her, confirming that Jessica would not be returning to her occasional role as a fashion contributor on Good Morning America.


Canadian TV network CTV also cut off ties with the stylist, revealing that it would be pulling all episodes of her wedding-themed reality TV show I Do Redo from its platform.

Despite their close relationship, insiders claimed that the Duchess had permanently cut ties with Jessica after she became embroiled in a race row with the influencer. 

An insider told Page Six that the duo’s relationship was already on the rocks because Meghan felt that Jessica was trying to ‘make a career out of the friendship.’

‘The white privilege row has really given Meghan the excuse she was waiting for to cut Jess off for good,’ the source said. ‘I don’t know what the tipping point was, but Jess has been on the outs for some time.’


In September 2020, Jessica addressed the rumours of rift between her and the Duchess of Sussex.

She wrote on her Instagram Stories: ‘I’m going to tell this once and for all. Meghan and I are family.

‘She is the kindest friend and has checked up on me everyday.’

Six months later, Jessica shared a pic in an Instagram Story of the flowers she received from Markle on her 41st birthday, on which she wrote: ‘LUCKIEST FRIEND XXXX, THX MM.’


However, the following year it became increasingly clear to fans that Meghan and Jessica’s friendship had soured. 

In June 2021, the mother-of-three posted a cryptic quote on her Instagram Story, which read: ‘Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. 

‘And then, without even realizing it, those pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you, is staring back in the mirror.’ 

The following year, Jessica posted a picture of a sign reading: ‘You are not too sensitive. Your are not overreacting. If it hurts you it hurts you.’


She captioned the post: ‘I wish I had a seen this a long time ago. I hope it makes a difference in your day too.’

Since then, Jessica has continued to post cryptic messages on social media, including a post telling followers her ‘detachment game is strong’.
