I have watched Suits from the very beginning and feel incredibly lucky to be the newest member of the Pearson Specter Litt family, she said in a statement, according to Entertainment Weekly.

The Suits cast saw some major changes this week as show leads Patrick Adams and Meghan Markle announced their final dates on the show.

"We had big dreams of expanding our family, moving to the mountains and having a quieter life," she told Good Housekeeping in 2014. "Utah is spectacularly beautiful, the people are wonderful and kind, it's an easy commute from L.A. and there's no traffic!"
