"I guess I'm scared about the idea of breaking through whatever walls exist to have that conversation."
The Canadian actor, who is set to appear in The Right Stuff, went on to confess that it "has been wild" to watch how Meghan's life has unfolded. "We've spoken and texted a couple of times, but Meghan's life is incredibly full and she’s been navigating a lot," he added.

"We don't spend any time together, but that’s not because of anything other than how completely enormous her life has become in so many ways."
Meghan played paralegal-turned-lawyer Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama, while Patrick starred as her on-screen husband Mike Ross. In November 2017, Meghan confirmed that she would be giving up acting as she announced her engagement to Prince Harry. But rather than be upset about ending her TV career, the actress said at the time that she was ready for a "new chapter".

"I don't see it as giving anything up, I just see it as a change," she said. "It's a new chapter. Right. And also keep in mind I been working on my show for seven years.
"So we're very, very fortunate to be able to have that sort of longevity on a series and for me, once we hit the 100 episode marker I thought, 'You know what? I have I have ticked this box'… I feel really proud of the work I've done there."
