Reacher Star's Divorce Filed Years Ago

Reacher actor Alan Ritchson initiated divorce proceedings from his wife of 20 years, Catherine Ritchson, on December 1, 2025. The public became aware of their split on September 12, 2026, when the couple shared a joint statement confirming their separation after nearly nine months of the legal process.

The pair, who first met as high school sweethearts, acknowledged growing up together and building a life and family. They are raising three sons, who they stated will always be the center of their world. The statement highlighted their enduring love and respect, and their commitment to prioritizing their sons' well-being by becoming strong coparents.

Both Alan and Catherine expressed a need for space to evolve individually, requesting privacy for their family during this transition. Catherine had recently shared contemplative posts on social media, hinting at changes in her life. Despite the divorce filing, the couple has maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship, as evidenced by Catherine's July 2026 social media posts supporting Alan at a family event.
