If you’re just catching up on “Suits,” you may have noticed the long-running series is packed with cameos connected to the cast in real life. One exciting appearance is by actor Jacinda Barrett, Gabriel Macht’s real-life wife of almost 20 years. She plays Harvey’s love interest in season two, a former lawyer named Zoe. Though the Australian actor is only in three episodes, the pair’s chemistry is undeniable.
In season two, we learn that Zoe, a fellow Harvard Law School graduate and former Pearson Hardman colleague, dated Harvey five years prior. They reunite when Zoe is brought on as a jury consultant in Harvey’s case, but ultimately, their relationship ends quickly as Zoe has to leave the state to take care of her niece. Zoe has since become a fan favorite of Harvey’s girlfriends, though it’s hard to rival Harvey and Donna’s will-they-won’t-they relationship on screen.
Barrett first entered the scene in 1995 as a cast member of “The Real World: London,” and has since acted in titles like “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” “The Last Kiss,” and “Bloodline.” Most recently, she starred in horror-thriller film “Hide and Seek.”
Macht and Barrett are coming up on almost 20 years as a married couple. After initially meeting on a blind date, the pair tied the knot in 2004, where “Suits” costar Sarah Rafferty was in attendance. They share two kids: their 16-year-old daughter, Satine Anais Geraldine, and 9-year-old son, Luca. Macht and Barrett have maintained their children’s privacy, rarely sharing photos of their family on social media.
Aside from Barrett, “Suits” has other notable cameos, including Patrick Adams’s wife Troian Bellisario, who plays his character’s love interest, Claire; and Macht’s father, Stephen Macht, who portrays Harvard professor Henry Gerard.
