“Suits” star, Gabriel Macht, is keeping his personal life private.
In a recent interview with People, the 53-year-old actor shared that he and his family moved out of the United States, but he is choosing to keep the location of his new home a secret.
“I am based somewhere in Europe, but I don’t tell anybody where I live because I like to keep that under wraps,” he said. “I got out of town and we’re exploring the world.”
The actor explained that before COVID, he and his wife, Jacinda Barrett, had wanted to take their kids “out of school and homeschool them.” However, when they found themselves “stuck” in Manhattan during the pandemic, he said, “That just wasn’t doing it for us.”
After realizing they didn’t want to stay in New York, Macht said, “We decided to explore the world, so we left.”
Macht and Barrett first met in 2000 when they were set up on a blind date. The two went on to tie the knot in a private ceremony in 2004, later welcoming two children: daughter Satine, 17, and son Luca, 10.
After starring as Harvey Specter on “Suits” for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019, Macht took a break from acting, explaining he “had very little interest” in taking on another project “because I spent so much time [doing it]” and he felt it was time to raise his kids and explore other ventures.
Following a long break, Macht will be returning to the role of Harvery Spector in the reboot, “Suits LA,” sharing that it made “sense” for his family to return now, and that he liked the idea of being able to “sort of pass the baton to Stephen [Amell] and the cast in L.A.”
The cast of “Suits,” including Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Sarah Rafferty and Gina Torres, had a reunion on stage at the Golden Globes in 2024, when they announced the winner of the best television drama category.
Noticeably absent from the reunion was Meghan Markle, who starred on the show until its eighth season and left when she got engaged to Prince Harry. Speaking with Variety on the red carpet at the award show, Torres shared that the cast was so excited to reunite, while also subtlety shading Markle.
“When it all came through, we were all texting each other,” said the actress. “Yes, our text thread is insane right now. So, it’s very exciting.” When asked about Markle, Torres explained, “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.”
Entertainment Tonight reported at the time that Markle was invited but was not able to make it due to a “preexisting commitment.”
