Before marrying Prince Harry and obtaining the title of Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was renowned for her character Rachel Zane in the hit drama Suits. While Markle was extensively praised for her performance, her chemistry with Patrick J. Adams became the USP of the show from the very beginning. Adams essayed the role of Meghan’s on-screen love interest, Mike Ross, in the US legal drama.

Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams flaunted their undeniable and steamy chemistry on the screen from the first season in 2011 to season seven in 2018. The couple often made headlines for setting the stage on fire with their intimate kisses and other passionate scenes. It is not common for the costars to have such hot on-screen chemistry since the first episode. So how did they manage it?

Speaking to POPSUGAR Entertainment in July 2013, Meghan Markle finally revealed the reason behind her spicy chemistry with Patrick. The Duchess explained that during the show they had become best of friends and it reflected on the screen as well. She shared that the kissing scenes definitely added some awkwardness, but they were proper professionals on the set.

“We’ve just always been buddies so I mean obviously seems like like that become a little bizarre because we are friends but I think everyone’s just so professional and so we just know that it’s part of our jobs,” Markle said in the YouTube video.

During the interview, Markle also revealed that Suits was not her first project with Patrick. The two met each other for the first time on the set of a TV pilot for ABC in 2007. In the show, they were paired against each other and their characters were similar to that in Suits.

Meanwhile, it should not surprise you that during the initial seasons of Suits, they were strong rumors about Markle dating Adams. Reports suggest that their chemistry was visible during Markle’s first wedding with Trevor Engelson and it created an uncomfortable atmosphere in the ceremony. However, the former on-screen couple has always denied the dating rumors. The Canadian actor also attended the Suits alum’s royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.

Markle and Adams exited Suits in 2017, following their reel wedding. Today, both are happily married: Adams with his long-time girlfriend and actress Troian Bellisario, with whom he shares two children, and Markle with Prince Harry, who have two children of their own. To this date, the former co-stars remain good friends.
