Alan Ritchson and Catherine's Heartfelt Separation After 20 Years Together New

Alan Ritchson and Catherine's Heartfelt Separation After 20 Years Together

Reacher star Alan Ritchson and his wife, Catherine Ritchson, have called it quits after two decades of marriage. “After 20 years together, Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside one another in a different way,” Alan, 43, and Catherine, 37, wrote in a joint statement shared via Instagram on Saturday, September 12, announcing their separation. “We grew up together, we built a life and a family together.” Alan and Catherine said “I do” in 2006 before going on to welcome three children together. “We are raising three incredible boys, who will always be the center of our world,” the now-exes continued in their statement. “Nothing can diminish what these years have meant to us — or the love and respect we will always share.” They added, “The best gift we can give one another — and our boys — right now is friendship, grace and commitment to becoming the strongest coparents we can be. We also want to give each other room to grow into the people we are becoming.” The Hunger Games actor and Catherine further asked for privacy as their family adjusts to a new normal. “Change is hard enough without the whole world weighing in,” the pair stated. “We hope, especially for the sake of our boys, that you will allow our family to move through this chapter with privacy and compassion. Thank you for supporting us as we continue making the health and happiness of our family our priority.” Alan and Catherine were high school sweethearts, meeting in a shared ballet class in their shared Florida hometown. “After the millionth time of us sitting next to each other, inches away, tying our shoes — so now it’s super awkward — I was like, ‘So I heard you ice skate,’” Alan told Men’s Health in February 2024. “She was like the sweetest thing in the world.” While Alan and Catherine briefly split after one year together, they eventually reconciled before tying the knot in 2006. As Alan pursued a career in Hollywood, Catherine was among his biggest cheerleaders. “I’m delighted that this weekend the world gets to see something I’ve known all along, through many years of being his scene partner on the other side of the audition tape: @alanritchson is a dynamic, powerhouse talent with the range of a Steinway grand piano,” she gushed via Instagram in February 2024, promoting his movie Ordinary Angels. “I implore you to see Ordinary Angels in theaters, to support original, uplifting storytelling!”

Liam Talbot's Shocking Injury: The Groin Punch Controversy Rocking CFL

Several below-the-belt punches are causing major injuries and concern in the Canadian Football League. Montreal Alouettes running back Liam Talbot has been ruled out for the season after allegedly enduring punches to the groin from B.C. Lions defensive back Josh Hagerty during Saturday’s game in Vancouver.The 23-year-old rookie underwent emergency surgery earlier this week after reportedly suffering two blows to the groin on two separate special teams plays, according to 3DownNation.The Alouettes have not publicly addressed the incident nor disclosed the nature of the surgery.However, sources told the outlet that the injury held implications beyond Talbot’s football career.In videos of the alleged incidents, Hagerty seemed to sneak in various underhand punches to Talbot’s groin area.Talbot finished the game, but the effects of the injury became harsh enough to seek medical attention.He was not present at practice Wednesday and was officially listed with a groin injury on the team’s injury report. Talbot was subsequently ruled out for Friday’s game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.The alleged punches were not penalized during the game by officials.Alouettes fullback Marco Dubois spoke out Wednesday in outrage over the alleged punches.

Peter McCabe/The Canadian Press via APHe took to X, sharing a video of one alleged incident and writing, “This is not football. There need to be consequences for this kind of unacceptable play that puts players’ safety at risk.”Fellow teammate, offensive lineman Cyrille Hogan-Saindon, backed up Dubois in a comment on his post. “Punch in the nuts, I’ve never seen anything like that from an adult in a professional football game,” Hogan-Saindon wrote. Hagerty, who is in his sixth CFL season, will be attending disciplinary hearings this week, along with two other players, regarding the alleged punches during the game.Possible outcomes from the hearing include fines and suspensions, which the CFL typically releases publicly ahead of the first game of the following week. Talbot, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 draft by the Alouettes, has appeared in four games this year.He has tallied six carries for 23 yards and one touchdown.

Brittany Snow's 17-Year Recovery Journey Inspires with Unexpected Message New

Brittany Snow's 17-Year Recovery Journey Inspires with Unexpected Message

Brittany Snow shared a powerful message on her recovery years after opening up about body image issues and struggling with anorexia and exercise bulimia. “TW: ED,” the actress, 40, began her Instagram post discussing a sensitive subject, telling her followers, “trigger warning: eating disorder.” “Today, September 17th, marks 17 years of recovery for me,” Snow wrote on Thursday. “I’ve heard they call that a golden anniversary. And somehow, that feels fitting.” She noted that her movie Parachute, which came out in 2023, is about the day she decided to stop “hurting” herself. “The day I chose to bet on myself, even when I couldn’t yet imagine what a life on the other side might look like.” “Seventeen years ago, I didn’t know if I would make it. I couldn’t see a future, and I certainly couldn’t imagine one where I would learn to be kind to myself,” Snow shared. “If someone had told me then that I would not only live, but one day have a beautiful, full life, free from the cycle of self-destruction and my eating disorder… I truly don’t think I would have believed them.” She went on to say that her friends and family helped her through the difficult time, along with a voice in her head that kept telling her, “Don't give up. There is so much more to your story.” “There was so much beauty ahead that I couldn’t see yet. So much love,” Snow wrote. “And one of the greatest gifts of making it through is being able to turn around and share the hope I couldn’t see possible.” https://www.instagram.com/p/DdZONMQxmzm/ Snow concluded her post by sending an encouraging message to her fans. “If you’re struggling right now, please know you are not alone. So many people have stood where you are standing. There is life beyond the place you are in today, even if you can’t picture it yet,” she wrote. “One day, the story you fought so hard to keep living may become the very story someone else needs to hear.” “I’m 17 years on the other side today. I’m so grateful I stayed ✨✨✨,” she added. Snow has been candid about her eating disorder through the years. In 2025, she opened up to Self about undergoing treatments to also combat depression and self-harm. “I had so much disdain for my body and I couldn't see myself as a functional, beautiful being. I only saw the things that were wrong with me,” she recalled. Snow ultimately overcame her disorder by talking to herself “like a kid.” “I’d be like, ‘OK, baby girl, do you want a bagel? Let’s get you a bagel. We’re going to toast it. We’re going to put some cream cheese on it. Is that all you can eat? OK, that’s OK.’” Eventually, she realized that she was hearing “whatever [she] wanted.” She added, “I was talking to myself like someone I loved. And then I just never stopped doing that.” If you or someone you know struggles with an eating disorder, visit the National Alliance for Eating Disorders website or call their hotline at (866) 662-1235.

Taylor Frankie Paul's Custody Drama Intensifies After Drug Test Claims New

Taylor Frankie Paul's Custody Drama Intensifies After Drug Test Claims

Taylor Frankie Paul reportedly had her visitation rights shortened after allegedly failing multiple drug tests amid her custody disputes with ex-husband Tate Paul and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. Paul, 32, allegedly failed multiple drug tests in the last 60 days, according to a TMZ report published Wednesday, September 16. The outlet also claimed that, as a result, she was limited to eight hours of weekly parenting time with her kids. (Taylor shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 6, with Tate, 34, as well as son Ever, 2, with Mortensen, 33.) Taylor has not publicly addressed the accusations. Us reached out for comment. Us understands that juvenile court proceedings are strictly confidential and a court-ordered gag order remains in effect. “The fact that alleged information from these confidential proceedings is being disclosed publicly is yet another example of the continuing harassment and inappropriate conduct from the other side,” a source tells Us. Taylor temporarily lost custody of Ever in March after resurfaced footage from her 2023 arrest was leaked. (Taylor was arrested for assault after an alleged incident with Mortensen and was remanded to probation after pleading guilty as part of a deal to dismiss child abuse accusations. She completed her three-year sentence in August.) After a recent court hearing, a judge ruled to increase Taylor’s visitation rights with Ever and also granted the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star and Mortensen mutual protective orders. Tate, for his part, requested a restraining order against Taylor in July to change the terms of their divorce and custody arrangement. His motion was subsequently denied. Throughout the ordeal, Taylor has denied the accusations into her character. “I tried to have this sealed from the beginning. It wasn’t in protection of me, but honestly, just to keep it sealed for the children,” she alleged in a social media video uploaded in July about the legal proceedings. “This was something I asked for and was denied from the beginning. I am an open book. I will give you the ugly and the pretty. If you know me, I don’t claim to be this ‘mother of the year.’ I have my faults.” She continued, “I also have a right to stick up for myself, give context of my life. … I will admit I am a lot of things. I can confidently say that if you were to put my kids on a [witness] stand, they are choosing Mom and Mom’s house every time, I say that with full confidence because I love my children. They know that I love them.” If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.

Florida Mom's Shocking Confession Turns Family Life Upside Down

A married Florida mother and her son were charged with incest after she admitted that the two had had sex “only about 100 times” since he was a teenager — while keeping it secret from her husband, according to police.The sick relationship was first revealed by Shane Clemens, 22, who was outraged after his mom, Christina Clemens, 46, called the police and accused him of assaulting her last month, according to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.“So he got mad because she called and we arrested him for hitting mama. And then he said, ‘Well, I’ll tell you what — I’ve been having sex with my mama since I was 18 years old,’” Judd revealed in a video address Wednesday. Christina and Shane Clemens were both charged with incest.“So we asked mama, ‘Have you been having sex with your son since he was 18?’ She says, ‘Only about 100 times. I didn’t stutter’ — that’s what she told us,” the sheriff said about the mother and son, both from Lakeland.Investigators then spoke with Christina’s husband, who said the couple were “happily married” and living together. When he was asked if he knew his wife was having sex with her son, he said no, but he was a little suspicious because they used to go into the master bedroom together and lock the door, Judd said.“What else can you say?

Amber Glenn Sparks Chivalry Debate After 'DWTS' Premiere Surprise New

Amber Glenn Sparks Chivalry Debate After 'DWTS' Premiere Surprise

Figure skater Amber Glenn found the Dancing With the Stars season 35 premiere especially nerve-wracking. “OK, first, why would they do that to us? No, thank you,” Glenn, 26, joked to Us after the live broadcast on Wednesday, September 16. “Don't get me wrong, I'm so grateful to be on the show … and, like, ‘Aw, this is a dream come true,’ [but] why the hell did the men go first? What happened to ladies first? What happened to chivalry? What?” DWTS kicked off its latest season on Tuesday, September 15, with the male celebrities taking the ballroom floor for the first time. The women had their own chance to shine the next night. “[It was] tough sitting here and just watching and not being able to do [our routine] out there,” Glenn’s pro partner, Pasha Pashkov, told Us on Wednesday. “They got to dance yesterday and get everything out of the way, and today just sit here and watch and enjoy. And us yesterday, we're watching and we still have to stay focused for tomorrow. It wasn't easy.” When it was their time to take the stage, Glenn and Pashkov, 40, delivered a sizzling cha-cha to “Smooth” by Santana featuring Rob Thomas. The routine earned a total score of 18 out of 30 from the judging panel. “I was really trying to perform to the best of my ability while remembering, like, ‘OK, I'm not here on my own. I can't just do whatever,’” she told Us of her competition mindset. “Usually I can kind of just make little things happen that are different. I'm like, ‘Oh, I can't. I gotta stick to the plan.’” While Glenn is used to skating on her own instead of with a team or partner, the Olympian has found other aspects of her sport coming in handy on DWTS. “I think [my Olympics experience] has definitely helped me in the performance aspect and how to handle waiting for an entire day and watching and waiting and waiting and waiting and then eventually getting to perform,” she explained. “It's been really nice, because I've gotten to talk to some of the other people with different backgrounds, different experiences, but I've also gotten to come in with a lot of tips and tricks I've learned over the years, [like] how to bandage your foot when you get blisters and how to handle some performance anxiety.” She continued, “For a lot of people here, this is their first time performing live, whereas I perform live — not anything close to this, but there are a few things that I've been able to give my expertise or advice in. I've learned so much from all the other pros and the stars and everything.” Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Why VP J.D. Vance's Plea for Trump's Second Chance is Raising Eyebrows

Why VP J.D. Vance's Plea for Trump's Second Chance is Raising Eyebrows

Vice President J.D. Vance is giving his “pitch” to prospective voters ahead of the highly contested 2026 midterms, begging voters to give Donald Trump’s divisive administration “another chance” amid historically low poll numbers. “Give us another chance,” Vance, 42, directly pleaded with voters on the Tuesday, September 15, episode of the “All In” podcast. “Give us another couple years to continue to work on the amazing things that we’ve been doing for the past two years.” The former Trump adversary-turned-ally added, “Even if you don’t agree with us on every issue, the other party is consumed by craziness.” The vice president presented an eyebrow-raising midterm strategy during multiple media appearances this week, encouraging voters to be wary of the Democratic Party — even if they are unsatisfied with the various aspects of the Trump administration’s policies, including the war in Iran, high gas prices, inflation, cost of living, controversial immigration policy and an affinity for renaming monuments and rebuilding Washington, D.C. in the president’s image. “To the American people, I’d say, send these people [Democrats] packing,” he said in Tuesday’s podcast interview. “Put them in the mental hospital. Do not put them in Congress because even if you don’t agree with us on every policy issue, at least we’re motivated by common sense and American interest. They’re just motivated left-wing interest groups and radicalism and they’re going to do a very bad job if we give them power.” Vance’s pitch comes during a time where the GOP faces a gloomy forecast for November’s midterms. On Wednesday, September 16, pollster Nate Silver cited a “string of excellent polls for Democrats” with mere weeks to go before election day. The same pollster shared an aggregation of Trump’s personal popularity across several top polls on Wednesday, revealing that the president currently holds a 58.5 percent disapproval rating — which is only “up slightly from its all time low.” (Trump currently holds 38.4 percent approval, per Silver.) Despite his sagging poll numbers, Trump continues to ask voters to approach the midterms as if his name was on the ballot — even though, constitutionally, it cannot and will not be. . Trump faced criticism for his appearance at the GOP’s American Airlines Center in Dallas, where he asked delegates to personally pledge their allegiance to him. “Please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can’t even breathe,” Trump, 80, said on September 10, per USA Today. “That I will go out with my family, my friends. I’ll do it anyway. I don’t care if I am registered or not, I am going to cheat like hell like they do. There have never been bigger cheaters.” The president went on to say,“I’m going to go out and get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3, or we are going to vote before that.” Later, he attempted to firm up support within his base to get out the vote on election day. (Trump has promised to send $5,000 dividend checks to all American adults if the GOP wins in November, though House Speaker Mike Johnson has since confirmed any payments would need the approval of Congress.) “You know what? If you want, you can vote Democrat, but I don’t think there’s one person in this room that’s going to vote [for them],” he said. “I don’t think so.” Trump continued, “You know what happens if you don’t vote? You go to hell, you know that? You go to hell, and I don’t want that to happen to you, so please go and vote.”

Why Californians Are Tipping Less Than Everyone Else in America

Why Californians Are Tipping Less Than Everyone Else in America

Here’s a tip, California — leave one. A shocking new study of tipping habits in the fifty states conducted by restaurant tech bigwig Toast shows California in last place — with allegedly stingy Golden Staters slipping well below the 20% most Americans are now expected to pay.Californians left an average 17.1% per transaction, the dirty data revealed — 17.6% per sit-down meal and 14.8% at counter service restaurants. California found itself in the bottom spot on a national ranking of tipping practices. Getty ImagesThe numbers were reportedly aggregated from transactions completed on Toast’s popular point-of-sale touchscreens.Generous Delaware topped the list, with an overall average of 21.4%. Other impressive tippers were Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, New Hampshire, West Virginia, and Wyoming, all of which had an overall tipping average of approximately 20%.California isn’t the only state on the increasingly cash-strapped West Coast that’s slacking off in the server-compensation department. Washington came in third-to-last on the list, with an overall tipping average of 17.6%. According to the report, two West Coast states are extremely stingy when it comes time to leave the tip. Getty ImagesAccording to the analysis, the average tip at a full-service restaurant in the U.S. was 19.1% for the second quarter of 2026 — matching the seven-year low reached in the same quarter last year.Americans have become increasingly fed up with the country’s tipping culture, as new tipping norms demand higher and higher percentages, according to reports.Tipping expert William Michael Lynn, professor emeritus of consumer behavior and marketing at Cornell University, told the California Post in August that the country’s anti-tipping sentiment is growing.“People’s attitudes towards tipping have gotten worse,” said Lynn, who has been studying tipping for over 40 years. “They’ve started to dislike it more and more.”According to Lynn’s research, 32% of people said they wanted tipping abolished in 2016. That number climbed to 52% by 2022.Diners are also being asked to tip in more situations than ever, including self-service kiosks and corner-store counters. This leads to guilt-tipping, experts say, where people feel pressure to tip even in situations were no service was performed.“People feel a sense of guilt when a cashier is standing there waiting for them to put in their tip amount,” etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore previously told The Post.“A lot of people don’t necessarily feel like a tip is warranted because the employee hasn’t really done much for them. They just took their order and put it in a bag and said, ‘Here you go!’”Download The California Post App, follow us on social, and subscribe to our newsletters California Post News: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedInCalifornia Post Sports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, XCalifornia Post Opinion California Post Newsletters: Sign up here!California Post App: Download here!Home delivery: Sign up here!Page Six Hollywood: Sign up here!

Witney Carson's 'Controversial' DWTS Take Ignites Debate After 'Lame' Scores

Witney Carson's 'Controversial' DWTS Take Ignites Debate After 'Lame' Scores

Witney Carson is sharing a “controversial” take about Dancing With the Stars. “Just from seeing everything online, I just wanted to give my two cents after being on this show for over a decade and watching it since I was 11,” Carson, 32, said in a video on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, September 16, one day after she and dance partner Guillermo Rodriguez received the lowest score of the DWTS season 35 premiere. “This is not a dance competition,” the choreographer continued. “Yes, of course, us pros take pride in, like, making the best dance possible, and we want our celebrities to become better. If it were truly a dance competition, every single celebrity would come into the competition with the same level of dance experience.” Carson pointed out that Rodriguez, 55, entered the show with zero dance experience, while cast members like Jenna Dewan and Harry Shum Jr. have a background in the sport. “So it isn't fair, and that's the point. The point is to vote for your favorite, and that's why the voting system is in place,” she argued. “So, just wanted to give my two cents. Remember, it is [to] vote for your favorite. If you love to watch dance and you love to watch good dancing, that's what you're gonna vote for.” During the premiere on Tuesday, September 15, Carson — who announced her pregnancy with her and Carson McCallister’s third baby one month before the season began — danced the cha-cha with Rodriguez to Jean Knight’s "Mr. Big Stuff.” Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough gave the duo a combined score of 10 out of 30. Though Carson and Rodriguez, who is known for being Jimmy Kimmel’s late night sidekick, were in the bottom three and at risk of elimination, audience votes saved the pair from going home. It was ultimately The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Conner Leavitt and partner Adele Zaikman whose journey on the show came to an end. (Influencer Connor Wood and partner Rylee Arnold were the other couple safe from elimination.) After the live episode, Carson and Rodriguez exclusively told Us how disappointed they were in the low score. “I think, [for] this cha-cha, we worked on so much,” Carson said. “We really worked on the timing and not rushing it. I think that you know there were bits where we were a little bit off, but he got right back on it and he listened to what I said.” She continued, “He followed my lead and he performed and he had fun, so honestly, that’s all I can ask for. I’m so proud. The judge’s scores were lame.” Rodriguez added, “I’m not too happy with the score, but listen, I listened to Witney. I felt like I’m at home. I gotta listen to my wife, I gotta listen to my partner. She said, ‘Look at me. Smile. Don’t rush it. Have fun. Enjoy.’ I say Dancing With the Stars is hard, but I passed the first week, so I don’t have nothing else to lose, nothing to prove. I’m here to stay. I’m here to work hard and do my best.” The two-night premiere of Dancing With the Stars continues on ABC and Disney+ on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
