The 36-year-old American actress was previously married to film producer Trevor Engelson.
The pair split in 2013 in a "no-fault" divorce after being married for two years.
Who is Trevor Engelson?
Mr Engelson is a 41-year-old American film producer, best known for the romantic drama Remember Me, which starred Robert Pattinson.
The film also featured a cameo from Ms Markle.
When did they get married?
He met Ms Markle in 2004 and they decided to get married in 2011 after dating for six years.
Their wedding took place in Jamaica and was celebrated with a barbecue on the beach.
When did they get divorced?
Mr Engelson and Ms Markle divorced amicably in 2013 less than two years after getting married, citing "irreconcilable differences."
He is reportedly currently working on a "divorce comedy" featuring the royal family.
The plot centres around a man who has to share custody with the royals after his ex-wife marries a prince, according to Deadline.
Is the fact she has been married before a problem?
No.
Much has changed since Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson, and since the Queen's sister Princess Margaret chose duty over love instead of marrying divorcee Group Captain Peter Townsend.
Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, divorced Diana, Princess of Wales, and in 2005 married divorcee Camilla Parker Bowles, who is now the Duchess of Cornwall.
