Meghan Markle’s Suits star Patrick J Adams had to win back his famous wife after they split.
The actor, who turned 43 on Tuesday (August 27), has been married to Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario for seven years. The pair met back in 2009 when they starred together in the play Equivocation in Los Angeles.
Rather appropriately, she was cast as Patrick’s love interest in the production, and they hit it off right away. “She was cast for the part of my romantic interest,” he told People. “We met and that was it.”

Sadly their romance had a rocky start as they broke up a year into dating. But their love story wasn’t over, because Patrick was determined to get her back.

So the stars seemed to align for the couple in 2010 when he was offered a guest part in the first season of her show Pretty Little Liars. And whatever he did seemed to work as they got back together afterwards.
They’re now happily married and share two daughters, Aurora (born 2018) and Elliot (born 2021). Patrick paid tribute to his wife in October 2016, ahead of the Pretty Little Liars series finale.

In part of his emotional post, he told fans how hard it was that he’d had to “share” the actress with the hit show for so long. He said: “We’ve had to share her for so long and the arrangement has been pretty painful because, let’s face it, who would ever want to let her go? But here we are. The last day. She’s still yours for 13 more hours (maybe more…probably more) and she’s still 2516 miles away from me but today…today I’m not angry. Today I’m not jealous. Today I’m pretty grateful.”

He continued: “Today I’m pretty grateful. Because in the last 8 years I’ve watched Troian live and learn and grow more than most people get the chance to in a lifetime.
“You’ve challenged her, pushed her, asked more of her than she even knew she had and then gave us the gift of being able to celebrate her… So #PLL I wish you well and I’m sorry for any disagreements – we both meant well. But now I’m gonna take Troian’s hand back and follow wherever it leads.”
Patrick played legal hotshot Mike Ross in Suits, the love interest of Meghan Markle’s character Rachel Zane. Meghan appeared on the first seven seasons of the show.
