Alan Ritchson and his wife Catherine Ritchson announced they are ending their 20-year marriage in a joint Instagram post, saying they still have “love and respect” for one another and that their focus is co-parenting sons Calem, 13, Edan, 12, and 10-year-old Amory. The couple wrote, “After 20 years together, Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside one another in a different way,” and asked for privacy and compassion as they navigate life as single people and co-parents. The post said they want to give each other “room to grow into the people we are becoming” and called friendship, grace and commitment the best gift for their boys. Legal documents obtained by the Daily Mail show Alan Ritchson filed for divorce on December 1, 2025, citing “irreconcilable differences,” before the pair reconciled on March 4 of this year. The article notes the pair first met in a ballet class in Florida as teenagers, reconnected when Catherine was in college, got engaged in 2005 and married the following May. In May 2025 Ritchson posted a tribute marking their 19th wedding anniversary and Mother’s Day, calling Catherine “wisdom personified” and praising their family as his greatest privilege.
