It's official: With Love, Meghan has dropped on Netflix after weeks of waiting. In the eight-part series, we get a unique glimpse into Meghan's idyllic life in the beautiful Montecito countryside, as she gives viewers cooking tips, cleaning advice and her thoughts on how to host the perfect al-fresco dinner.
The show also features star-studded appearances from some of Meghan's A-list friends - and one of those is catching people's attention in particular. In episode one, called Hello Honey!, we meet Meghan's friend Daniel Martin as she prepares a 'thoughtful guest basket.' The pair meet to bake cakes, make beeswax candles and 'cosy' pasta.
Meghan talks about how she wants guests to feel 'really comforted when they’re in our house', and prepares for Daniel's arrival by adding ‘bedside blooms’ to the tray as 'it’s just a sweet gesture. All these little things are just letting someone know you are thinking of them.' She also prepares him a bath salt recipe.
In the episode, she also talks about how she and Daniel became friends. So without further ado, here's everything we know about Meghan's make-up artist bestie...
