It’s a life that’s miles away, literally and figuratively, from where Meghan was when she first started dating Harry in 2016. Yet she shares with PEOPLE that returning to her entrepreneurial roots has also reignited somethingbetween the couple.

“My husband met me when I hadThe Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” she says.

“It’s almost like a honeymoon period again,” she adds, “because it’s exactly how it was in the beginning when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits and just really being in the details of it. I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It’s just been fun. This is who I’ve always been.”
