In the same year that Patrick J. Adams made his exit from the dramedy “Suits,” he welcomed his first daughter Aurora with his wife Troian Bellisario, whom he married in 2016. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the star shared that his choice to leave was primarily driven by his desire to settle down and be more present for his growing family.
“After seven seasons — really, eight years of being away from home and away from my now-wife and there was that pressure,” he said. At the same time, Adams also felt that it was only natural for his character to make an exit given the storyline. “I started thinking about leaving at the end of the first half of season six after Mike was released from prison. From a story point of view, I was a little unsure of what was left for him to do.”

Ultimately, he was able to work out a compelling plotline with series creator Aaron Korsh and co-star Gabriel Macht to justify Mike Ross’ departure and make it as organic as possible. After wrapping up his time on the show, Adams took a step back from working altogether to relax and think about what his next steps would be. “It’s nice to be home,” he admitted. “It’s really nice to be with Troian [and] our dogs, and to take the time to figure out exactly what shape I want to take my career after this.”
