Patrick J. Adams and Troian Bellisario have officially expanded their family, with the couple welcoming their third child and becoming a family of five. The Suits actor, aged 44, made a quiet announcement on Tuesday by posting a poignant black-and-white photograph on his Instagram account. The image captured his large hand gently cradling the tiny palm of his newborn, accompanied by a simple yet heartfelt caption: "Tag, you're it." This intimate snapshot quickly ignited a wave of celebratory messages from their circle of famous acquaintances and devoted followers.
Celebrity Friends Flood Social Media with Congratulations
The announcement prompted an immediate outpouring of joy from well-known figures in the entertainment industry. Among the first to respond was actress Sarah Rafferty, Adams' former co-star from the legal drama Suits, who expressed her affection by writing, "We love you sweet baby," alongside a series of red heart symbols. Ashley Benson contributed heart-eyed emojis, while Marlene King added her congratulations with the comment, "Oh baby! Mazel Tov! A party of five now!"
Further messages of support arrived from Katie Lowes, who stated she "cannot wait to meet" the new addition, while Justin Mikita and several other verified friends also shared their happiness in the comments section. This collective response highlights the couple's strong connections within Hollywood and the genuine excitement surrounding their growing family.
Pregnancy Revealed During 40th Birthday Celebrations
The arrival of the baby follows Bellisario's pregnancy announcement just a few months prior, which she made while commemorating her 40th birthday in November. At that time, the actress offered a glimpse into her milestone celebrations through social media, documenting a relaxed camping trip with Adams. She posted footage of the pair traveling in a camper van before settling into a tranquil, desert-like environment.
Bellisario captioned the post, "Here comes a new decade and a whole new human to go with it," as she posed on a blanket showcasing her baby bump. Adams also shared a striking black-and-white photograph of his wife cradling her bump on Instagram, accompanied by an extensive and emotional caption expressing their anticipation and unconditional love for the unborn child.
A Heartfelt Message of Anticipation and Love
In his caption, Adams reflected on the unknowns of parenthood, writing, "We don’t know your name yet. We don’t know your gender. We don’t know what your smile looks like or what your first laugh will do to our hearts." He continued, emphasising that despite previous experiences with their two older children, each new arrival brings unique lessons and joys.
"We’ve been here before but we’ve never been here with you and so we really know nothing at all. Almost nothing," Adams noted. "What we do know is that we have an infinite supply of love waiting for you. Love, laughter, tears, dance parties, lullabies and lessons." He concluded with a promise of unwavering support, stating, "Thanks for choosing us. We will always choose you. Soon…."
A Love Story That Began on Stage
The couple's romance originated in the theatre world, with Adams and Bellisario first meeting during a play in 2009. This initial connection blossomed into a lasting relationship, culminating in their marriage in December 2016 at an intimate ceremony in Southern California. They have since built a close-knit family, welcoming their first daughter, Aurora, in October 2018, followed by their second child, Elliot, in May 2021.
Although Bellisario and Adams typically maintain a private personal life, they occasionally share rare updates on social media. In September 2023, Bellisario celebrated National Daughters Day with a heartfelt Instagram post, featuring a seldom-seen photograph of her two daughters. She wrote, "Apparently today is #nationaldaughtersday but then I don’t understand what literally every other day of the year is… I couldn’t be more grateful to be the mother of these two wild forces of nature."
Adams' Career and Connection to Meghan Markle
Adams is best known for his role as Mike Ross in the USA Network legal drama Suits, where he portrayed a clever law school dropout who cons his way into a prestigious law firm and falls for paralegal Rachel Zane, played by Meghan Markle. Despite the series concluding in 2019, it experienced a significant resurgence in 2023 after becoming available on streaming platforms like Netflix.
The show set a new viewing record for an acquired series during the week of June 26 to July 2, accumulating 3.14 billion minutes of watch time. This revival underscores the enduring popularity of the storyline involving Mike and Rachel. Adams and Markle have maintained a friendly relationship over the years, with Adams and his wife attending the Sussexes' royal wedding in Windsor in 2018.
In 2024, Adams revealed that Markle sent him a supportive text message congratulating him on his podcast with Sarah Rafferty, demonstrating their ongoing camaraderie. "She leads a very different life now for obvious and important reasons," Adams explained on Reddit. "But 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. So lovely to still have that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart."
