Thomas Markle, Meghan Markle's estranged father, is dating his 46-year-old nurse, Rio Canedo, after a health scare. Thomas, who was introduced to Canedo while recovering from his leg amputation surgery in the Philippines, expressed his joy and happiness after feeling neglected and sad for many years. Despite the age difference, Thomas said he doesn't care about the criticism but feels blessed to have found someone who takes good care of him. Canedo also takes care of Thomas with a strict no sugar diet and encourages him to drink more water. Despite recent health issues, Thomas has moved past his strained relationship with Meghan.
