#SHOWBIZ: 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson and wife Catherine split after 20 years of marriage

Actor Alan Ritchson and his wife, Catherine, have ended their 20-year marriage, according to a joint statement released on Instagram. The couple, who were high school sweethearts, emphasized their deep mutual affection and expressed their priority for the well-being of their three sons - Calem, 13, Edan, 12, and Amory, 10.

Ritchson, 43, and financial analyst Catherine announced their decision to part ways amicably, stating that they will continue to support each other in a new capacity. They highlighted that they have grown up together, built a life and family, and raised three incredible boys who will always be their world. The statement reassured that the love and respect they shared will never diminish.

The Reacher star appealed for discretion as they navigate their separate lives, urging the public to allow their family privacy and compassion during this challenging time. Legal documents reveal that Ritchson initially filed for divorce on December 1, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences, though the pair briefly reconciled in March. They first met as teenagers during a ballet class in Florida, eventually marrying in 2006 after a brief separation in their early romance.
