Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle's on-screen husband from the popular legal drama Suits, recently shared rare insights into his current relationship with the Duchess of Sussex.
Despite the passage of time and Meghan's transition into royal life, Adams revealed some details about their continued contact. Adams portrayed a charismatic, unlicensed lawyer named Mike Ross on Suits, while Meghan portrayed Rachel Zane, a paralegal with whom Mike shared significant romantic chemistry. Their dynamic captivated fans throughout the show's nine-season run. Meghan, who starred in the first seven seasons, left the series in 2017 following her engagement to Prince Harry.
Now 43, Patrick J. Adams co-hosts a podcast with fellow Suits alum Sarah Rafferty. During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, a fan asked Adams about the shift in dynamic since his former co-star became a member of the British royal family, wondering if the two were still in touch.
Adams candidly responded, acknowledging that while he and Meghan are not "really in touch" regularly, there remains mutual respect. He explained, “She leads a very different life now, for obvious and important reasons,” reflecting on the significant change Meghan’s life has undergone since stepping into the global spotlight as the Duchess of Sussex.
Despite their busy and vastly different lives, Adams mentioned that Meghan reached out to him when she heard about his podcast. Her message, he said, was filled with warmth and enthusiasm. "I got a lovely text from her, saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help in any way," Adams shared, highlighting the Duchess's continued support for her former co-stars.
Adams also expressed how meaningful it was to receive Meghan's message. "It was so lovely to still have that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart," he added, underscoring the enduring bond formed during their time on set.
For those unfamiliar with Meghan's acting career, she portrayed Rachel Zane on Suits for seven seasons before departing in 2017, the same year she married Prince Harry. Her role on the show, along with her close relationship with her co-stars, remains a cherished part of her life, even as she navigates her duties as a member of the British royal family.
