What was said on the podcast
Adams, 44, laughed that he had not received any As Ever preserves despite years of working with Meghan on Suits. He joked about not having enough followers to qualify for a gift.
The podcast host confirmed she had indeed received a jar. She also admitted she hadn’t opened it yet and was keeping it boxed up.

Looking back: the Suits connection and Meghan’s path
Adams and Meghan met on the set of the legal drama Suits. Their characters were romantically linked on screen. Both actors left the series after its seventh season in 2018.
Meghan stopped acting and later married Prince Harry in 2018. The couple announced they would step back from senior royal duties in January 2020.
They are parents to two children: Prince Archie, now 6, and Princess Lilibet, age 4. Meghan has since focused on family life and philanthropy, while also launching lifestyle projects such as As Ever.
Why Adams says he’s protective of Meghan
On the podcast, Adams reflected on the scrutiny Meghan has faced. He described her experiences as intense and difficult to watch.
Adams also joked about his Instagram bio. It reads in part that he’s “the other guy from that show” and mentions Meghan’s marriage to a prince. He said the phrasing may need updating, and that it likely prompted eye rolls from Meghan during their time together.
He emphasized compassion toward Meghan, calling her journey “insane” to witness, and spoke about feeling protective of his on-screen partner.
Small moments that reveal bigger relationships
The jam anecdote is light, but it highlights ongoing friendly ties among former Suits cast members. It also shows how public figures now connect across podcasts and social feeds.
Meghan’s quick reply to send jars turned a passing joke into a personal gesture. Adams’ reaction combined humor with a sincere protective streak.
Fans spotted the exchange and shared the clip and comments across platforms. The moment has drawn attention for its warmth, more than for any controversy.
