Kevin McKidd and Arielle Goldrath McKidd are making progress in their divorce. According to court records acquired by PEOPLE, the Grey’s Anatomy actor’s wife filed for divorce in Los Angeles on Monday. She has stated that irreconcilable differences caused their divorce.
Goldrath has asked for shared physical and legal custody of their two children, Aiden (4 years old) and Nava (3 years old). She has asked for mediation to decide how to divide their assets. She has also asked the court to reinstate her birth name, Arielle Leigh Goldrath.
McKidd, 49, married Goldrath in November of last year. The couple had been married for five years when he announced their divorce in July.
“I don’t often share my personal life on social media, but today there is something I do want to share with you. A few months ago, Arielle and I decided to end the marriage portion of our relationship,” he said in a lengthy Instagram statement.
“We reached this conclusion after much soul-searching and discussion. We know it’s what is right for both of us.” McKidd then praised Goldrath.
“Arielle is an incredible mother to Aiden and Nava. She’s one of the wisest, most intelligent and loving people I’ve ever known. We continue to have the highest love and respect for each other,” he remarked.
“We have been able to redefine our lives and love for each other in a beautiful way. It’s not been easy and has taken significant work and self-examination. It has all been worth it to get to where we are now: a deep and honest relationship as parents and real friends with an amazing shared history, beautiful children and family.” McKidd closed by requesting that his fans “wish us luck and good fortune going forward.”
“It feels good to share this part of my life with you all and let you know that even when there are challenges, it is possible to reach happy conclusions if we show up for each other and stay open,” he added. “Arielle and I will always support one another.” I wish everyone could be so fortunate as to be able to raise their children with one of their best friends.”
From 1999 to 2017, McKidd was married to Jane Parker. Iona, 20, and Joseph, 22, are their children.
