Sarah Rafferty and Troian Bellisario attend the Good For A Laugh Comedy Benefit in support of children affected by war in Los Angeles on March 1, 2019Sarah Rafferty and Troian Bellisario's friendship is puzzling in the best way.
When Bellisario, Rafferty and their former Suits costar Patrick J. Adams took part in an October game of Jenga benefiting War Child (for which all three actors are ambassadors), the friendship between the two women quite literally reached new heights.
According to Rafferty, 51, the competition was getting so intense at one point that Bellisario stepped up to support her. “Patrick's yelling at me," Rafferty recalls, "and then Troian is like, ‘Don't listen to him. Sarah, look at me. Look at me. I am your Jenga Doula.’”

Ahead of the event, which raised money to aid children in conflict zones, Rafferty was under the impression that she'd be playing videogames — but Adams, 42, and the Pretty Little Liars alum, 38, quickly set her straight.
“Troian and Patrick are younger than me, and they're some of my best friends, but I'm like, ‘You guys are cool — you understand gaming?’ And they were like, ‘No, we requested Jenga. We need to actually play a real game.’ It was so fun,” she recalls of the spirited competition.

Rafferty shared a clip of the Jenga match-up on Instagram, capturing the moment Bellisario came up with her one-of-a-kind nickname. “Last night, I gained a life long Jenga Doula in @sleepinthegardn," Rafferty captioned the clip. "24 hours ago I didn’t even know what I was missing. Troian completes me. 🤓❤️"
Rafferty, who's starring in Netflix’s My Life with the Walter Boys, tells PEOPLE: “I'm so happy I had to do it with them and I'm so happy I got to highlight how hilarious Troian Bellisario is, my Jenga Doula."
She adds, “We should all be so lucky. I hope you find yours.”

Like Rafferty, Adams has nothing but love for Bellisario, whom he first began dating in 2009 and with whom he shares two daughters.
The actor often gushes about his wife on Instagram, praising her skills as a mom. In one heartfelt post, he reflected on a photo he’d rediscovered.
“That feeling when you’re going through old photos and you’re stopped in your tracks by a picture of your wife and you’re flooded with gratitude and your breath is gone and your heart leaps,” he wrote alongside the black-and-white candid shot. “Love that moment. And love you @sleepinthegardn.”
