Vanessa Morgan and Michael Kopech have separated after five months of marriage. On Monday, People reported that the 24-year-old White Sox pitcher filed for divorce [1] from the 28-year-old Riverdale star [2] on June 19, after The Chicago Tribune first broke the news [3], citing court records.
While neither Vanessa nor Michael have publicly commented on their separation, the news comes just days after Vanessa announced that she was pregnant with her first child [4] on Instagram. A representative for Vanessa confirmed to People that Michael is the father of the baby, but declined to comment on the divorce filing. A spokesperson for Michael did not immediately respond to People's request for comment.
Vanessa and Michael wed [5] after nearly two years together in an intimate ceremony in Florida this past January. The actress shared the news of her pregnancy on Instagram last Friday. Alongside a photo album from her gender reveal celebration, she wrote, "I am overjoyed to be welcoming my baby boy into the world this January 💙. This little guy has already brought me so much happiness and a feeling of such a greater purpose. I cannot wait to meet you!!"
