Why Patrick J. Adams Really Left Suits (And No, It Wasn’t Just to Avoid Another Power Suit)

Buy Me A Coffee

Let’s rewind to 2018: Patrick J. Adams and his Suits co-star Meghan Markle pulled a classic “Irish exit” from the hit TV show. Fans assumed their on-screen love story was simply moving to greener pastures—Meghan to become actual royalty (no biggie), and Patrick to embrace the domestic bliss of soon-to-be parenthood with his wife, Troian Bellisario.

But hold onto your briefcases, because Patrick recently spilled the tea (and thank goodness, not his drink this time) on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast Dinner’s on Me. Spoiler: his exit wasn’t about Prince Harry stealing his TV wife or escaping another mock trial with Louis Litt. Nope, Patrick left to work on something far trickier than a Harvey Specter monologue—his mental health.

When Suits Turns Into Drinks
Patrick got candid about his mindset at the end of Season 7: “I wasn’t taking care of my mental health and, well, I was hitting the bottle like it owed me money.” Turns out, under all those expertly tailored suits was a guy feeling pretty lousy and kinda lost.

“I was living what I like to call an ‘unexamined life,’” Patrick shared. Translation: he was basically a philosophy professor’s worst nightmare, numbing his feelings with booze and retail therapy instead of self-reflection and, you know, actual therapy.

Patrick went on to admit that his drink-now-think-later routine wasn’t just impacting him but also his family. “It was taking a toll on my relationship and turning me into the ‘Dad Who Isn’t Really Here.’” After realizing he didn’t want to star in that depressing family sitcom, he made the bold choice to quit drinking altogether.

A Plot Twist Worth Cheering For
Quitting alcohol turned out to be Patrick’s mic-drop moment. “The best thing I ever did for myself was stop drinking,” he said. And while the man may have left the courtroom drama behind, his decision to prioritize his mental health and family was a finale worth celebrating.

From TV Romance to Real-Life Goals
As a bonus, Patrick’s real-life love story with Troian Bellisario is just as swoon-worthy as anything Suits ever scripted. The pair met back in 2009 while starring in a play—proof that love blooms in the most dramatic places—and tied the knot in 2016.

So, while we might miss Mike Ross’s witty comebacks, it’s clear Patrick is killing it in the role of dad, husband, and all-around healthier human. And honestly? That’s a win worth more than all the billable hours in the world.
