“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson and wife Catherine announced their split after 20 years of marriage via a joint Instagram post shared Saturday.
“After twenty years together, Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside one another in a different way,” the statement began. “We grew up together. We built a life and a family together. And we are raising three incredible boys who will always be the center of our world.”
Ritchson and Catherine went on to note that “nothing can diminish what these years have meant to us” and — or the love and respect we will always share.”
“The best gift we can give one another — and our boys — right now is friendship, grace and a commitment to becoming the strongest co-parents we can be,” they continued.
The pair expressed that they “want to give each other room to grow into the people we are becoming,” noting that “change is hard enough without the whole world weighing in.”
Ritchson and Catherine asked for “privacy and compassion” — “especially for the sake of our boys,” they emphasized — as they navigate this chapter.
They concluded their statement by listing “the health and happiness” of their family as their “priority.”
