Michael Kopech has filed for divorce from Riverdale star Vanessa Morgan, just seven months after the couple tied the knot.
The Chicago White Sox baseball star filed for a divorce from the actress on June 19th, a month prior to Vanessa’s recent pregnancy announcement.
Online records confirming the divorce were obtained by The Chicago Tribune, and a rep for Vanessa has confirmed to E! News that Michael is the baby’s father.
The news comes just days after the 28-year-old announced her pregnancy in an emotional Instagram post, revealing she and her husband were expecting a baby boy.
Sharing photos and videos from her gender reveal party, Vanessa told fans: “Was debating keeping this part of my life hidden but I knew people would see pictures eventually with my belly & I wanted you guys to hear it from me.”
“I do want to keep this chapter of my life private but did want to be the first to share the news. I am overjoyed to be welcoming my baby boy into the world this January ????”
“It’s almost like everything I thought mattered in this life has completely changed.. We’re here for such a greater purpose and life is so precious. I can’t believe how much growth & strength you’ve already given me as your mom,” she continued.
“It’s like God knew I needed you, my angel. The universe works in mysterious ways but always times everything the way it was meant to be. Lil one you were made with so much love & already exude a light so strong it warms my belly.”
“Thank you God for this blessing ☺️ I’m just so happy & can’t wait to dedicate everyday to being the best mommy I can be ???? “I’ll love you forever I’ll like you for always as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be ???? “- if you know you know #preggers ???????? ????????.”
The Canadian actress also included a photo of her positive pregnancy test, which she took back in May.
The couple tied the knot in January, in an intimate ceremony at the Walton Historic House in Florida.
Vanessa’s Riverdale co-stars Skeet Ulrich, Drew Ray Tanner and Madelaine Petsch attended the wedding – which had a guest list of just 40 people.
Madelaine, who plays Vanessa’s on-screen girlfriend, was a bridesmaid for the ceremony.
