Gabriel Macht, the charismatic actor best known for his role as Harvey Specter in Suits, is making waves again. Fans are thrilled about his return to the Suits universe with the new spinoff, Suits LA, but what’s even more intriguing is his recent decision to relocate his family to Europe.
Harvey Specter Returns—But Not for Himself
The Suits franchise has been buzzing with excitement as Suits LA premiered on February 23, 2025, on NBC. While the new show introduces a fresh set of characters in Los Angeles, Macht is stepping back into his legendary role for a special three-episode arc.
What made him return? According to Macht, it wasn’t about reliving the past.
“I’m not doing it for me. I’ve done it 134 times. I’m just doing it for the fans,” he shared in a recent interview. His statement reflects a deep appreciation for the audience that made Suits a global success.
Leaving Hollywood Behind: A Fresh Start in Europe
While Macht’s Hollywood journey continues, his personal life has taken a new turn—across the Atlantic. The actor recently moved his family to Europe, choosing to keep their exact location private.
“I am based somewhere in Europe, but I don’t tell anybody where I live because I like to keep that under wraps,” he revealed. His decision seems to be rooted in a desire for privacy and a fresh experience for his children.
This move had been on his mind for a while. After Suits ended in 2019, Macht wanted to take a break from acting to focus on family. The pandemic delayed their plans, but the dream of living abroad never faded.
“Right before COVID, we wanted to take the kids out of school and homeschool them. But then we got stuck in Manhattan. That just wasn’t doing it for us,” he explained.
Now, he’s embracing a new chapter away from the Hollywood spotlight, prioritizing a more balanced life with his loved ones.
What’s Next for Gabriel Macht?
With Suits LA now airing and his family settled in Europe, Macht seems to have found the best of both worlds—keeping his acting career alive while focusing on his personal well-being.
His journey reminds us that sometimes, stepping away from the familiar can lead to the most fulfilling chapters. And for Suits fans, one thing is certain: Harvey Specter may be in LA for now, but Gabriel Macht is exactly where he wants to be.
