Before asking why, consider asking “if”

I see this question asked a lot and it has me shaking my head as often, the simplest explanation is the correct one. In this case, that explanation would be that it is markedly difficult to annul a marriage that never existed.

Rumours still persist though about some mysterious secret marriage to some chap called Joe, so let’s look at the evidence.

Who is Joe Giuliano?

The problem with the theory that Meghan was previously married to this man is that no one can reach a consensus on who he actually is.

Supposedly he was an “entertainment lawyer” who “helped her make Hollywood connections”, but searches for an entertainment lawyer of that name turn up nothing.

She was at university with a Joseph Goldman-Giuliano, but unhelpfully for the rumour mill he is a criminal lawyer and would have been of no use for poor Meghan in climbing the greasy Hollywood pole, especially as the timing of their supposed marriage means it would have taken place when they were both lowly students.
