Alan and Catherine Ritchson End 20‑Year Marriage

Their joint Instagram statement asks for privacy and says co‑parenting three sons is their priority while court records show a suspended divorce filing and Alan Ritchson has spoken publicly about self‑love.

Overview

  • The couple announced on September 12 that they have decided to end their 20‑year marriage and asked the public for privacy as they transition to separate lives.
  • Court documents show Alan Ritchson filed for divorce on December 1, 2025, the pair attempted a reconciliation and filed a suspension of proceedings on March 4, 2026, and a judge paused the divorce for six months.
  • On September 20 Alan Ritchson posted an Instagram video saying he has struggled with feeling unworthy of love and urging learning to love oneself as a way to break harmful cycles.
  • The Ritchsons said their three sons — Calem, Edan and Amory — remain their central focus and that they intend to be the strongest possible co‑parents while keeping family matters private.
  • No final divorce decree has been reported, so the next steps to watch are whether the pause in proceedings leads to a restart of the divorce and how the couple manages custody and household changes during the legal process.
