saying tv has always seen us in the same way he's the rough around the edges guy i'm the polished girl and there's that will they ever be together tension it's pretty clear that the two actors have had amazing chemistry since the very beginning in an interview with larry king markle explained that their next meeting was during the suits auditions apparently the two actors fell into a firm friendship pretty quickly once they started working together again adams explained that their first job together was a little awkward since they didn't know each other when we worked together the first time there was that like uncomfortable getting to know each other stuff and then this time going into it we realized like we have to get to know each other and become friends very quickly throughout their long working relationship on suits adams and markle developed a seriously strong bond as colleagues and friends in 2018 adams spoke to the hollywood reporter about the bond that formed from their early days on the show he explained in some ways megan and i were the closest because we were the youngest people in the cast and both came in with the least experience he described how their joint experience of learning on the go meant that they quote grew up together over the course of the show by the sound of things their early bond helped them both navigate the world of professional television markle and adams continue to get closer while working together eventually becoming the very best of friends to mark the suits series finale in 2019 adams posted a series of adorable throwback photos of him and his castmates on set in several photos markle was seen lounging on various set pieces and clearly having a great time working with her friend and co-star in another series of photos she was shown having drinks with adams and her other castmates and wandering through the streets of toronto if adam's candid shots weren't enough proof of their super close relationship the bloopers from suits really do show just how well the pair got on in fact markle and adam seem to struggle to get through most of their scenes without making each other laugh when i get punchy late night on set i always start to go into this like oh yeah see come on fellas let's keep it moving they like that according to the book megan a hollywood princess markle and adam's famous chemistry was what initially led to the show's success after the first episode aired author andrew morton claimed cast crew and the money men at the network were ecstatic the producers thrilled that their gamble to cast megan opposite patrick had paid off big time the show's fans buzzing about the couple's on-screen chemistry apparently this chemistry had been a feature of suits since the very first table read as morton wrote when megan began the standard table read of the script it was obvious that megan and patrick generated chemistry this elusive quality the showbiz equivalent of lightning in a bottle it sounds like sparks were flying between these two actors since the very beginning and judging by the tension between rachel and mike on the show that's not too surprising apparently the same sparks were flying in real life too author andrew morton went on to reveal that this chemistry was especially noticed at markle's first wedding in 2011. morton wrote their off-screen chemistry was equally noticeable almost uncomfortably so according to guests at megan and trevor's wedding in an interview on larry king now king also picked up on their intense bond he even asked them why they weren't a couple in real life adding with a cheeky smile that he was sensing something even though markle and adams had a strong bond both on and off the screen the two colleagues never thought about dating in real life and larry king wasn't hesitant to push the pair about those juicy details so the two of you are not involved off the show no no no no adams added that it quote would never work and the actors explained that their romantic chemistry on screen came from a friendly familiarity from years of working together plus throughout their time on suits both were in relationships with other people adam started dating his future wife troy and balisario in 2009. balisario actually broke up with adams briefly but he won her back in 2010 according to pop sugar so he was already head over heels with bellisario when suits began markle on the other hand was in a relationship with film producer and talent manager trevor engleson the couple began dating in 2004 and married in 2011 according to the sun adams and belisario announced their engagement in 2014 in 2016 they tied the knot in a beautiful woodland wedding unfortunately adam's longtime friend and co-worker didn't attend according to us weekly markle was invited to the wedding but decided to stay home in toronto a source explained markle and adams both kind of agreed that maybe her coming would attract too much of the wrong kind of attention they both thought it sucked whether this source is reliable or not it's easy to see why marco may have thought her presence would be overshadowing at the time in december of 2016 at the time of adam's wedding marco was pretty big news the tabloids have been obsessed with picking her apart since her relationship with prince harry was announced in 2016. markle's real-life fairy tale came true after a blind date with harry in july of 2016. even though she began dating the ultra-famous prince she continued to work on suits until the end of season 7 in 2017. and like a true professional she didn't let her personal life interfere with her work as adams explained to hello everything felt pretty normal throughout season seven he said honestly it hasn't really changed nothing has changed that much he went on to say that markle was actually quote killing it at her job he added she comes to work and is super excited to be at work even though markle kept focused and professional at work she was pretty busy with her blossoming royal relationship she even hopped across the pond in between filming to attend pippa middleton's wedding reception in may of 2017. in one of the most scandalous moments between markle and adams adams got into some trouble after posting one particular image of markle on his instagram in 2017 adams posted a nostalgic onset photo of markle kissing him on the cheek in honor of the show's 100th episode he explained to esquire i went to bed and woke up in the morning and realized oh yeah i live in a world where you can't post things about megan i had this onslaught of people retweeting the thing people thinking it was a recent picture and i just thought what the hell is going on apparently the viral post became the last straw in adam's relationship with social media and he deactivated all of his accounts at the time he explained it made me feel like why put myself through this we're like brother and sister it's not like it was lurid or anything when markle and prince harry announced their engagement in 2017 markle's co-star was quick to express his congratulations in fact his in-character response was pretty hilarious referencing their on-screen relationship he retweeted the engagement news writing she said she was just going out to get some milk he followed up this suit's joke with a more heartfelt response saying playing megan's television partner for the better part of a decade uniquely qualifies me to say this your royal highness you are a lucky man and i know your long life together will be joyful productive and hilarious he added a shout out to his longtime pal writing megan so happy for you friend much love despite his sincere follow-up adams kept the jokes coming in 2018 when she got married he posted on instagram with the caption i am beginning to think she might not actually be out getting milk at the end of season seven of suits marco left the show to move across the pond and began a new life as the member of the royal family for adams markle's departure forced him to consider his position on the show too as he explained to the hollywood reporter his decision to leave the show coincided perfectly with markles this meant that their characters could have a happy ending instead of being separated for the sake of one actor in fact the on-screen couple was married in the season seven finale just a few weeks before markle's real-life wedding to prince harry as far as their off-screen relationship went the final episodes of season seven were bittersweet for markle and adams the actor confessed with megan a lot went unsaid we just enjoyed the hell out of the last few episodes that we got to shoot he explained that their close bond meant that they didn't need to talk about their futures even though markle couldn't attend adam's wedding they were guests at the royal wedding in 2018 with adams posting a selfie with his wife while attending a royal wedding in britain must have been exciting for adams and his hollywood friends it must have also been pretty intimidating in fact bellisario confessed to the daily telegraph's stellar magazine that she had quote extreme anxiety about having to wear a fascinator by the sounds of things adams didn't get a chance to see much of markle in person adams tweeted in part megan wherever you are we are so grateful to be here to watch you both take this monumental step together it's clear that markle's wedding marked a real moment of departure from everything she'd known from her life in hollywood after markle left suits and began her duties as a member of the royal family her old co-star didn't get to see very much of her however it seems he still followed her career and life speaking to access hollywood in 2020 adams spoke about how impressed he was with markle's move to america standing up for her controversial decision to get involved in u.s politics he added i am happy to have her stateside i am very very happy that she's becoming very vocal and doing whatever she can to help the election in november i miss my friend but i'm very happy she's doing well it sounds like marco is too busy to socialize with her old co-stars but adams remains interested and supportive since becoming prince harry's wife markle has been seriously busy first with her official royal duties then with her dramatic move back to america plus she and harry are raising their son archie who was born in 2019. unsurprisingly adams hasn't really had a chance to see his old colleague he admitted to radio times that he felt quote a little scared to reach out to the busy duchess and added i have no doubt i could pick up the phone and call her at any moment but i don't know what i would say the pair have however exchanged a few texts mainly on the subject of parenting adams was quick to add that the only reason he's holding back is markle's busy intimidating schedule he explained we don't spend any time together but that's not because of anything other than how completely enormous her life has become in so many ways perhaps markle and adams will rekindle their friendship soon and maybe even get their kids together for a playdate check out one of our newest videos right here plus even more list videos about your favorite celebs are coming soon subscribe to
