Thomas Markle pictured buying flowers for mystery new girlfriend
MEGHAN Markle’s dad Thomas has got a new girlfriend, the Sun on Sunday can reveal.
The 75-year-old has been dating an American mum of two who lives near his Rosarito neighbourhood in Mexico.
According to locals, the pair have been spotted on cosy dates, as well as making regular trips together back to Los Angeles where she has a home.
Last night a neighbour said: “Thomas has been seeing a woman locally for the past few weeks, and they’re regularly making trips back to the States as she has family there.
“He’s stayed with her for a few nights while he’s been getting the plumbing at his place fixed.
“Tom’s a really nice, low-key guy and hasn’t been making a song and dance of things. But he has definitely had a spring in his step.
“A few of us have also been joking that Meghan has a new step-mum!”
The owner of his local restaurant, Chile Taco Shop, added: “Thomas has always come alone, but he’s been bringing his new friend with him for his chicken tacos of late, and now he seems happy whenever he comes in.”
The couple have also been spotted sharing a large family pizza at nearby joint, Fusion 360 Pizza and Sushi.
The woman’s name is not known but last week Thomas was pictured smiling as he bought flowers on Valentine’s Day.
Thomas married Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland in 1979, but separated when the former Suits actress was six years old.
Thomas, currently estranged from Meghan in the wake of several public falling-outs, is also said to have got a part-time job at a local film studios.
Sources saying the former lighting director is working at the nearby Baja studios where the Titanic movie was shot.
