Rick Hoffman's Wife: The Actor Keeps His Love Life Private & Has a Son
Rick Hoffman has regularly turned to social media to gush about his son and share his experiences with fatherhood. However, the "Suits" actor does not appear to have a wife, and mystery surrounds the identity of the mother of his son.
In "Suits," Rick Hoffman played a hard-hitting lawyer locked in a heated rivalry that lasted years. However, off camera, the actor is a doting father to his son, Cole. Rick Hoffman's son has often appeared on his father's social media page, which leaves no clues about whether or not the "Suits" star has a wife.
Rick Hoffman has kept pursed lips about his love life, only sharing details about his character's romantic endeavors. And the actor's low-key dating life has led fans to wonder whether or not Rick Hoffman is gay.

Rick Hoffman's Son Poses with Mystery Woman
In October 2021, Hoffman turned to social media to share a throwback of his son as a baby, and in the black and white picture, Cole sat in an unidentified woman's lap. "My son blessed by Raffuncle," Hoffman captioned the post, which received over 40,000 likes at the time of writing.
In January 2022, Hoffman shared an adorable photo of his son sleeping on his chest, revealing it was the "best feeling in the world." The actor also shared about fatherhood:
"[...] I'm so proud of my son. There are no words to describe. My love and joy."
More recently, Hoffman took a trip down memory lane and posted a video of his son as a toddler in honor of his 8th birthday, referring to him as the love of his life. "Still excited when I pull up to the house. Hope it never changes:) Happy, Healthy Birthday Cole!!! I love you more than anything!!!" Hoffman added.
However, in the sound of the video, a woman's voice could be heard encouraging his son, and there is very little information on who the woman is and her relationship with the actor and his son.
Details about Rick Hoffman's Love Life Have Been Limited to the Screen
In 2016, Hoffman opened up about his "Suits" character Louis Litt's love life and what was next in his relationship with architect Tara, played by Carly Pope. However, the actor has yet to share any clues about his love life offscreen.
That same year, he was spotted enjoying a lunch date with his showbiz friend and Canadian actress Stephanie Waring before attending Megan Markle and Prince Harry's royal wedding without a date in 2018.
Fans Turned to Social Media to Speculate about Whether or Not Rick Hoffman Is Gay
Given the lack of details surrounding Hoffman's wife or whether or not he even has one, fans turned to Twitter to speculate about whether or not Hoffman was gay during the filming of "Suits." One fan shared:
"Producers of #Suits, maybe it is time to get Louis Litt out of his closet. It is awkward to see Rick Hoffman as a straight man in #Suits, knowing he is showing his female side as a gay man."
However, as speculation continued, Hoffman enjoyed shooting "Suits" and was joined by his real-life parents during one of the show's episodes for their acting debuts.
Before joking that he could and couldn't live without his family during an interview, Gail and Charlie Hoffman joined Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Ginna Torres, Abigail Spencer, and their son for an episode of "Suits" in 2012.
