Thomas Sr. and Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, separated when Meghan was three. The pair shared custody, and Meghan lived primarily with her father during her early teens—ages 11 through 18—while Doria traveled frequently for work.

He also paid for Meghan’s education at Northwestern University, reportedly close to $250,000, continuing to cover the costs even after she landed her role on “Suits.”
