Patrick J Adams thanks Meghan for sending jam after podcast swipe

Meghan Markle 'kept her promise' to send Patrick J Adams jam from her lifestyle brand As Ever after her Suits co-star admitted his 'jamlessness' during a podcast episode earlier this month. 

On Thursday, Patrick, 44, posted a photo of five jars of spread and honey after the Duchess of Sussex, also 44, promised they were 'en route' to him on Instagram, writing it was 'worth the wait'. 

The picture showed jars of orange marmalade, raspberry and strawberry spread, and honey on a wooden board with an As Ever engraving. 

Patrick, who played Meghan's love interest Mike Ross on the American legal drama, captioned his Instagram post: 'Worth the wait! Thank you Meghan for the deliciousness and Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast for helping raise awareness about my jamlessness.' 

Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Patrick admitted 'I did not get a jam' after host Amanda Hirsch revealed she was sent flower sprinkles and spread from Meghan's Montecito-based company As Ever.

After a clip from the episode was shared online, Meghan left a comment promising Patrick and his wife, actress Troian Bellisario, that 'jams [sic] en route for you' while also sending love to the couple's three children and Patrick's mother. 

Delighted fans of Suits rushed to the comments section under Patrick's latest post as they declared 'love it when old friends reconnect'. 

 'Mike and Rachel forever,' one Instagram user wrote, referring to their on-screen characters that got married on Suits. 

 The duchess came up a couple of times during the episode, including when Amanda asked Patrick, 44, if she had ever sent him a 'handwritten note'.

'Yeah, I'm sure I got a handwritten note,' the actor replied, before praising Meghan's 'impeccable' and 'astonishing' penmanship.

'Did you get a jam?' Patrick fired back before Amanda said she had received a care package containing As Ever's $15 flower sprinkles and $12 spread.

He then joked, 'I don't have enough followers, I don't think,' as Amanda teased him, saying: 'You need to get on the list.'

Elsewhere, Amanda told Patrick that the mother of two sent her a handwritten note after the initial trailer release for the episode.

'I was worried that this trailer would have people at her throat again, and she wrote me a note saying, basically saying, "Thank you for being afraid for me, but don't be, it'll be fine".'

Patrick said: 'What she's gone through is insane,' before adding that he has also received handwritten notes from Meghan over the years: 'Her handwriting is like a work of art, truly, it's astonishing.'

He also admitted that 'eye rolls were a constant with Meghan' during their time filming Suits together.

The comment came after Amanda asked the actor about his Instagram bio, which reads: 'The other guy from that show that you're watching on that app because that girl married that prince.'

Patrick joked: 'I've got to change that,' before adding it's the sort of joke that would make the duchess roll her eyes.

The actor added: 'I got a lot of eye rolls. That was a constant with Meghan, her rolling her eyes at me like, "Oh my god, what are you doing?".'

The actor previously confirmed that he has had no communication with his former co-star following the legal drama's streaming success.

Patrick and his Suits co-star Gabriel Macht were asked if they had spoken to Meghan recently during an interview with

in 2024 after the show's popularity had experienced a revival in popularity thanks to its arrival on Netflix.

US actor Gabriel, who played top lawyer Harvey Specter, said: 'I have not communicated with her other than seeing her big support for the resurgence, and that has been really nice.'

Patrick, whose character was in a relationship with Meghan's Rachel Zane, said: 'Zero. No, no communication.'

The actor then jokingly pretended he was getting a call, saying: 'Oh, hold on. There she is. Oh, got to go.'

At the Golden Globes in January that year, Patrick and Gabriel presented the best TV drama award before they were joined by fellow stars Gina Torres and Sarah Rafferty.

Gina, who played lawyer Jessica Pearson in the US legal drama, revealed at the LA ceremony that the ex-castmates simply 'don't have [Meghan's] number' when asked if anyone had reached out to the former actress.

An insider told Page Six that the duchess was invited to the event, but 'unfortunately' wasn't able to make an appearance because of a 'previous commitment'.

Speaking to Variety on the red carpet, Gina was asked: 'Who texted Meghan and said "You've gotta come to the Golden Globes, Meghan Markle".'

'We don't have her number. We just don't so. She'll see. She'll watch. She'll be happy that we're here,' said the actress, who attended the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan in 2018.

The interviewer also asked: 'Did you plan this? Are you all texting each other?' She explained: 'When it all came through, we were all texting each other. Yes, our text thread is insane right now. So it's very exciting.'

Suits originally aired on USA Network for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019, and saw genius college dropout Mike Ross join a high-profile law firm alongside Harvey Specter, Jessica Pearson and Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), while Rafferty played Harvey's no-nonsense assistant Donna Paulsen.

The duchess played Rachel Zane, a paralegal who becomes a formidable attorney and eventually marries Mike Ross.

Earlier in the night while walking the red carpet, Gabriel discussed the show's reawakened popularity.

'It's an amazing thing. We had some great success when the show was on... and then at a certain point, Netflix came in. It's just gotten incredible eyes and we're very grateful for it,' he told Entertainment Weekly.
