MEGHAN Markle’s on-screen Suits lover has admitted they are “not really in touch” now that the American actress is a royal.
However, Patrick J. Adams revealed that the Duchess of Sussex did recently text him about his new podcast show.
Patrick worked with Meghan on the hit legal drama between 2011 to 2018, and she left ahead of her royal wedding to Prince Harry, which Patrick attended.
The actor, 43, did a Q&A on Reddit on Sunday, and one fan asked him about his relationship with Meghan, 43.
They asked: “Is it weird now that your costar is now royalty? Are you still in touch?"
Patrick replied that he and the Duchess of Sussex "are not really in touch" and said she "leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons."
Despite Meghan’s new royal life, Patrick said she had been in touch after hearing he was launching a Suits rewatch podcast with fellow Suits star Sarah Rafferty.
Meghan launched her own podcast, Archetypes, on Spotify which addresses the labels and stereotypes that women face, and included celebrity guests Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, Mindy Kaling, Issa Rae, and Jameela Jamil, to name a few.
Patrick shared on the forum: "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.”
He said it was "so lovely to still have that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart."
Meghan’s final episode aired in April 2018, just a month before her royal wedding with Prince Harry in Windsor.
The legal drama revolved around Mike - played by Patrick - gaining a position at a swanky lawyer's office in New York city.
Throughout the show, Mike and paralegal Rachel - Meghan’s character - became romantically involved and then went on to marry and set up their own legal firm in.
On his Sidebar: A Suits Watch Podcast, Patrick shared how Meghan was perfect for the role of Rachel.
He said: "And it was pretty clear that she was gonna get the part from the minute we did the chemistry read.
“It was just so much easier than it was with anybody else — she crushed it and she crushes it in the show."
Patrick, who is married to Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario, welcomed his first daughter, Aurora, in 2018 and they had a second daughter, Elliot, in 2021.
He joked that he would be happy for his kids to have a playdate with Meghan and Harry’s kids, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
The actor said: "Maybe at her house, it's a little bigger.
"We've shared exactly zero tips with her, because I don't think Meghan needs any tips about anything.”
PATRICK Johannes Adams is a Canadian actor and director.
He's most famous for playing unlicensed lawyer Mike Ross in the TV series Suits alongside Meghan Markle as Rachel Zane.
He has also appeared in episodes of Cold Case, Pretty Little Liars, Lost, Friday Night Lights, Without a Trace, Commander in Chief, Heartland, Ghost Whisperer, NCIS, Cupid, Luck, Rosemary's Baby, Legends of Tomorrow and Pillow Talk.
Aside from acting, Patrick is a keen photographer who claims to own 25 cameras.
His photos were displayed during Suits' Behind The Lens and #PJAGallery event.
Patrick along with several other stars from Suits attended Prince Harry and Meghan's Royal Wedding in 2018.
Gabriel Macht and Sarah Rafferty also flew to the UK for the big day on May 19.
Patrick previously branded the Royal Family "shameless" and said their treatment of the Duchess of Sussex was "obscene" in an extraordinary rant.
The actor said Meghan was "enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive" when they were working together on Suits.
Speaking of him leaving Suits, Patrick said: "With Meghan, a lot went unsaid.
“Meghan has this whole crazy part of her life that’s just beginning now.
"In some ways, Meghan and I were the closest because we were the youngest people in the cast and both came in with the least experience."We grew up together over the course of the show."
