Newsypeople – Actress Sutton Foster has announced her decision to file for divorce from her husband Ted Griffin after nearly a decade of marriage. The news comes as a surprise to fans and colleagues alike, given the couple’s seemingly happy relationship and young daughter.
Foster, known for her roles in TV shows like “Younger,” filed the divorce papers in the New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday, October 22nd. The couple tied the knot in October 2014, just over a year after becoming engaged. Their marriage lasted almost exactly nine years, ending abruptly with Foster’s decision to seek legal separation.
One of the most significant aspects of Foster’s life during her marriage to Griffin was the arrival of their daughter, Emily. The couple adopted Sutton Foster as a baby in 2016, bringing joy and new responsibilities to their lives. This experience seemed to profoundly impact Foster’s perspective on family and relationships.
In an interview with People magazine, Foster shared her journey towards motherhood:
“I was always very career-driven, and I had such a tricky relationship growing up with my own mom… It was never clear cut for me. I married in my 30s; it didn’t last, but one thing it did give me was this little inkling that I wanted to maybe have a family.”
Her relationship with Griffin, however, changed everything:
“When I met my husband, it was the first time that I finally went, ‘Oh, I get it. I understand why people have families.'”
Foster also spoke about the positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on her family life:
“It’s the first time that we’ve all been together for this amount of concentrated time without one of us traveling or having to leave for work every day. Especially breakfast and dinner. We’re all sitting at the table and now my daughter will ask everyone, ‘How was your day? We all like to sit down and talk and we’ve made it a really important part of our day that we come together as a family.”
This revelation highlights the complex nature of relationships and the challenges faced by celebrities balancing careers and personal lives.
