The couple, who have been married for two decades, shared a heartfelt post on Instagram to reveal the news. However, they have expressed their commitment towards co-parenting and "growing old together." Since most of the people know about Alan, let us know more about Catherine Ritchson.
Catherine Ritchson is a financial analyst, writer, and producer. She has mostly lived a private life, despite being married to one of the globally famous TV stars. Over the course of time, she has balanced her professional life and raised a family. Along the side, she supported Alan when he dealt with the ups and downs of his career.
Apart from her work in finance, Catherine has also been actively involved in entertainment projects. She was the executive producer on the short film, Tree House Time Machine. Likewise, she has worked on many creative projects linked to Alan's career. Despite her private life, Catherine has long been admired by fans for her grounded personality and for bringing a sense of stability to Alan's rising career.
For those who do not know, Alan and Catherine's love story started long before he stepped into Hollywood. The duo first met at a high school ballet class during their teenage years. However, they had a brief interaction at that point. Yet, destiny brought them together after years when they again met through a mutual friend. Eventually, they fell in love and tied the knot in May 2006.
Since then, they stayed together for the next 20 years to build a life together. During that time, they also welcomed three sons, Calem, Edan, and Amory. As Alan struggled to make his name in acting, Catherine always stood by him. He initially rose to fame through projects such as Titans and Reacher. However, soon he began to face his fair share of uncertainty and professional setbacks.
The actor has himself often shared how his family made multiple sacrifices when he began to pursue acting. In the past few years, the couple made an unexpected decision to sell their Florida home and adopt a more flexible lifestyle to ensure their sons could spend more time with them as he traveled to film at different places around the world. The decision highlighted how the family had a strong commitment to stay together amid their demanding career.
When Alan's work grew, the duo decided to focus on their family over fame. In fact, their social media also features posts about their parenting, travel adventures, and family milestones over his celebrity life. They were one of Hollywood's most enduring couples until they shared their separation announcement. Still, the couple has highlighted that their kids will continue to remain their priority. In their words:
"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. We also want to give each other room to grow into the people we are becoming."
Alan and Catherine shared a public statement to confirm their separation on social media. They did not mention any single cause of divorce, but explained that they will focus on friendship and co-parenting for their sons. The couple has also asked for privacy for their family as they continue to deal with this difficult part of life. Sharing their decision, the couple penned:
"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. Nothing can diminish what these years have meant to us, or the love and respect we will always share."
Earlier, in July 2026, Alan sat down for an interview with a magazine and admitted that his personal life was suffering due to his "obsessive creative and personal life". He admitted that he had become "hard" and "all-consuming". However, TMZ has reported that Alan had initially filed for divorce in December 2025. Later, the couple briefly reconciled in March 2026 before ultimately deciding to end it in September 2026.
