In Hollywood, certain power couples gobble up all of the media’s attention. After all, there are some beloved celebrity coupes that the masses can’t get enough of. For example, people seemingly adore Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, or Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell.

Of course, there are LOTS of other famous couples that have somehow managed to fly under the radar for a long time. For example, a lot of people seem to be unaware that Alexander Rodriguez and Kate Hudson, Jonathan Groff and Zachary Quinto, and Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio were all a thing at one point.

Remarkably enough, famed Suits actor Gabriel Macht has been married to his wife Jacinda Barrett, for almost 20 years, and she even had a recurring role on that show at one point. Far more than just Macht’s significant other, Barrett has led a fascinating life that Suits fans need to know more about.

Updated December 2023: Jacinda Barrett has been consistently working since she got her big break in ‘The Human Stain’ in 2003. However, Barrett’s career slowed down around the time that her husband, Gabriel Macht’s tenure ended with ‘Suits’. As a result, Barrett has not been in any projects since 2021. The speculation is that she and Macht have been working so much over the last several years that they want to spend family time and be there for their children. Barrett has not retired. She is simply on hiatus.

Gabriel Macht’s Career Highlights

Gabriel Macht’s Big Break: The Spirit

• Macht is best known for his character, Harvey Specter on Suits

Born in the Bronx, Macht began his acting career when he starred in the 1980 movie Why Would I Lie?, which came out the same year he turned eight years old. After that, Macht decided to focus more on his schooling, as other former child stars have also done. As such, he barely worked in the entertainment industry until after he graduated from the Carnegie Mellon College of Fine Arts.

Going on to enjoy a great deal of success once he left school behind, Gabriel Macht has appeared in a slew of movies and TV shows in the years since. Some of those projects, according to IMDb include:

While Macht has had quite a few leading roles over the years, it is the hit TV series, Suits that Macht is best known for. And given that the show has been streamed for a total of 26.5 billion minutes on Netflix, it will remain the most popular project that Macht has worked on for years to come.

Who Is Jacinda Barrett?

Jacinda Barrett’s Big Break: The Human Stain

• Barrett was a reality TV star in the early days of reality television after being cast on The Real World: London

Barrett was born in Brisbane in 1972. When she was 14 years old, she was approached by a modeling scout and began a career as a model. While Barrett was doing quite well with both print and runway work, she was not thrilled with the career path being taken.

“At first, modeling was OK, but I got sick of it,” Barrett explained.

Because of this, Barrett returned to her theater roots from her school days and decided to try a career in acting.

Looking for a change of scenery, Barrett moved from Australia to Germany, eventually winding up in Paris. It was there that she was approached by MTV to audition for The Real World: London. As a result of landing the reality TV gig, Barrett recognized that being in front of the camera was the route that was correct for her career. After the season ended, Barrett began taking her acting seriously and enrolled at the University of Oxford in England.

Two years after The Real World ended, Barrett landed her first acting role in Campfire Tales. From there, the roles became more consistent.

Some of the projects that Barrett has worked on over the years, according to IMDb include:

Barrett currently does not have any projects scheduled coming up. However, that does not mean that she has given up acting. She is just on a hiatus instead.

Jacinda Barrett And Gabriel Macht Attended The Marriage Of Prince Harry And Meghan Markle

Jacinda Barrett And Gabriel Macht Were Friends With Meghan Markle After Working On Suits

• Barrett appeared in three episodes of Suits

Meghan Markle and Macht worked together on the hit TV show, Suits. During that time, they became close. As such, he and Barrett received an invitation to the royal wedding and reception.

When the big day came, Barrett and Macht were royal-looking themselves. Barrett wore a burgundy dress with three-quarter sleeves and a keyhole cutout and black ankle strap heels. She completed the look with a matching understated fascinator.

For his part, Macht wore a dark suit and vest with a tie matching Barrett’s dress. They were two of the 600 guests who attended the day. Macht and Barrett were thrilled to be a part of the love story of Markle and Prince Harry.

“A story of inclusion, love — and there’s so much stuff out there that’s so depressing and dark,” Macht explained. “This was just a remarkable day to go and support her and the royal family and it was an amazing time.”

What Is Jacinda Barrett Doing Today?

• Barrett and Macht have taken time off their careers to focus on their children

These days, Barrett is taking some time off, along with Macht to focus on their family. Once Suits ended, Macht went on a break from work. Given his net worth of $8 million, Macht does not have to work for a while if he so chooses. This is especially true, as Barrett is worth the same, having built an $8 million fortune of her own.

The last project that Barrett worked on was in 2021’s Hide and Seek. Given that her children are growing up fast and that much of their lives were spent with one or both parents on set, it makes sense that because they are comfortable financially, she and Macht would choose to step out of the limelight for now. But given the talent the two have, it would not be surprising to see them come back in the next several years and add to their resumes with successful projects to build their respective fortunes.
