Alan Ritchson and Catherine Ritchson announce divorce after two decades together

Alan Ritchson, known for his role in the series Reacher, and his wife Catherine have announced the end of their twenty-year marriage via a joint Instagram post. They described their relationship as built on love and respect and said their priority now is to co-parent their three boys—Calem, 13, Edan, 12, and Amory, 10—while remaining friends. The couple asked the public to respect their privacy during the transition.

Court documents indicate that Ritchson filed for divorce on December 1, 2025, citing irreconcilable differences, later reconciling in March before filing again this year. They first met in a Florida ballet class as teenagers, reconnected in college, married in May 2005, and celebrated their 19th anniversary in May 2025 with a public tribute. Their statement underscores a commitment to graceful separation and shared responsibility for their children.
