Biography

Bellisario started dating Suits star Patrick J. Adams after they met on the set of the play Equivocation in 2009. The couple briefly split, but, after Adams' guest appearance on Pretty Little Liars in 2010, the two got back together. Since working on Equivocation and Pretty Little Liars, the couple have also worked together on the 2012 short film The Come Up, and on Suits, on which Bellisario made a guest appearance in 2015. On February 24, 2014, it was confirmed that Bellisario and Adams were engaged.

Bellisario revealed in early January 2014 that she went through personal problems through high school, resulting in an eating disorder and self-harming problems. "I was the youngest daughter, the perfect little girl," she said. "My school was a very intense college prep school. So it was about wanting to please my father and mother and wanting to be perfect to everybody."
