Jessica Mulroney says she’s the ‘happiest person in the world’ enjoying a ‘girls’ night out’ with her daughter Ivy, 9, after being ‘dumped’ by former party colleague Meghan Markle

Meghan Markle’s former BFF has found a new friend to join 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 visiting Canada’s nightlife with her best friend by her side.

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

However, their friendship appeared to cool in 2020 when Jessica became embroiled in a social media firestorm 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 rumors of a rift between the former best friends, Jessica appears to have moved on as she posted an adorable video to Instagram of herself and Ivy in a taxi heading home after enjoying a ‘girls night out’ together.

Jessica Mulroney, Meghan Markle’s former BFF, posted a sweet video to Instagram of herself and her daughter Ivy as the pair enjoy a ‘girls night out’

The short clip shows the couple giggling together as Ivy shouts: “Girls’ night out!” It then cuts to another clip of mother and daughter in a restaurant ordering steak frites.

Jessica posted the movie to her Instagram grid on Tuesday, writing, “Do you ever want to hit pause in time? My nights out with Ivy always make me realize that I am the happiest person in the world and that everything else is just noise.’

Meghan previously opened up 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” when her friend “shows up at an event.”

The couple, who met on the set of Suits where Jessica worked as a stylist, were once regular partygoers and frequented Toronto’s nightlife.

She added that she asked her stylist friend for advice on “what to wear for Christmas parties and soirees in New York” – many of which they attended together.

Jessica and her former friend Meghan appeared to fall out as the stylist came under scrutiny following the 2020 killing of George Floyd, which sparked the Black Lives Matter movement.

Lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter called out Jessica Mulroney, who “took offense” to a “generic call to action” post Sasha shared about the Black Lives Matter movement.

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

“I am by no means calling Jess a racist, but what I will say is this: she is very aware of her wealth, perceived power and privilege because of the color of her skin and that, my friends, temporarily gave her confidence. to provide for my living in writing. A textbook example of white privilege, in my personal opinion.’

Following the blogger’s claims, Jessica issued three public apologies, but she still faced repercussions and was abandoned by numerous television networks.

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

Canadian TV network CTV also cut ties with the stylist, revealing 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 the Duchess had permanently cut ties with Jessica after becoming embroiled in a racing feud with the influencer.

An insider told Page Six that the duo’s relationship was already on the rocks because Meghan felt like Jessica was “trying to turn the friendship into a career.”

“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 turning point was, but Jess has been on the run for a while.”

In September 2020, Jessica addressed the rumors of a 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 nicest friend and comes to see me every day.’

Six months later, Jessica shared a photo to an Instagram Story of the flowers she received from Markle on her 41st birthday, writing, “LUCKIEST FRIEND XXXX, THX MM.”

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

In June 2021, the mother of three posted a cryptic quote to her Instagram Story, saying, “Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never thought would be gone.

‘And then, without even realizing it, those pieces come back. New love comes in. Better friends will come. And a stronger, wiser you stares back into the mirror.”

The following year, Jessica posted a photo of a sign that read, “You’re not too sensitive. You’re not overreacting. If it hurts you, it hurts you.”

She captioned the post: “I wish I would have 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 one in which she told her followers that she is “detachment strong.”
