In a recent discussion, Patrick J. Adams opened up about his connection with Meghan Markle, revealing how their friendship has evolved since their time on the popular show *Suits*. The series, which aired from 2011 to 2019, featured both actors in leading roles, with Meghan portraying the beloved character Rachel Zane and Adams playing her on-screen partner, Mike Ross.

Adams shared that while he and Markle don't maintain regular contact, they recently reconnected when she reached out to him about his new podcast, *Sidebar*, where he revisits episodes of *Suits*. "She leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons," Adams said on Reddit, acknowledging the significant changes in Meghan’s life since becoming the Duchess of Sussex after her 2018 marriage to Prince Harry.

However, he expressed that receiving a message from her was heartwarming: “Upon hearing about the podcast, I got a lovely text, saying how excited she was for us and asking how she could help in any way.”

Meghan has consistently praised *Suits* for the opportunities it provided her, and she seems to still hold fond memories of her role, despite stepping away from acting to focus on her royal duties and her philanthropic ventures. Interestingly, after the show concluded, *Suits* saw a resurgence in popularity on Netflix, becoming one of the streaming platform's most-watched titles in 2022, with its combined viewing times reportedly surpassing an astounding 45 billion minutes. Meghan publicly reacted to this news, noting it was "wild" to see the show's enduring success.

As for Adams, he acknowledged that life has taken them down very different paths, but he remains appreciative of their shared history. Fans of the show look forward to hearing more insights from him on *Sidebar* and are eager to see if other cast members, including Meghan, might join the conversation in the future.
