Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was recently seen leaving a restaurant in Montecito, Calif., with actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley. The two were spotted exiting the trendy Italian eatery Tre Lune over the weekend. Markle appeared in good spirits, dressed in ballet flats, blue jeans, a white shirt, and carrying a small black bag. Meanwhile, Williams-Paisley opted for a casual look in a long blue dress, sneakers, and sunglasses.
Tre Lune is a popular spot among Hollywood celebrities, with stars like Sofia Richie, Ellen DeGeneres, and Kourtney Kardashian having been seen dining there in the past. It is unclear how Markle and Williams-Paisley first met, but it is likely they crossed paths through the entertainment industry or mutual acquaintances, given their shared acting backgrounds.
Williams-Paisley is best known for her role in the 1991 comedy “Father of the Bride” and is married to country singer Brad Paisley. The couple tied the knot in 2003 and have two sons together. They are longtime residents of Montecito and are reportedly friends with DeGeneres, Katy Perry, and Orlando Bloom.
Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have also maintained friendships with DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi. In 2023, the royal couple attended the pair’s wedding renewal ceremony. Markle and Prince Harry relocated to Montecito in 2020 after stepping down as senior members of the royal family. They currently reside in the town with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
On the professional front, Markle recently completed filming for her Netflix cooking and lifestyle show. The show is expected to focus on home-centric topics like food and gardening, similar to her former lifestyle blog, “The Tig.” Additionally, Markle launched a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard earlier this year, reflecting her passions and interests.
