After 12 years of marriage and raising two children, Zach Gilford, the star of Criminal Minds, announced his split from his wife, Kiele Sanchez.
After 12 years of marriage and raising two children together, Criminal Minds star Zach Gilford and his wife Kiele Sanchez, according to reports.
The husband and wife played an on-screen couple in the crime drama, which the 43-year-old actor co-starred with Kiele. Zach filed for divorce on Friday, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the justification, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The couple’s separation date has been left unnamed and has the letter “TBD” on it.
Zeppelin, age seven, and Revel, age four, are the couple’s two children, and the actor wants joint legal and physical custody. Additionally, the agreement states that Kiele could receive spousal support from the Friday Night Lights star.
The couple were married in December 2012 and their castmate, Jesse Plemons, played the guitar during the ceremony. Jonas Peterson, who was the photographer at the wedding, told ABC about the big day: “Oh man, that guy [Plemons] can play guitar! He’s in a band called Cowboy and Indian and they were good – very good! [Gilford and Sanchez] are the most normal people in the world. They are the most in-love couple you’ll ever see. It’s really amazing.”
Zach was talking to the photographer at the time about his romantic relationship with Kiele and declared, “I want you to come capture that.”
They actually met on the set of The Matadors during a pilot for ABC in 2010 despite enjoying co-starring in Criminal Minds together. After the network decided against continuing with the series, it never materialized.
In a 2018 interview with Us Weekly, Zach described his marriage to Kiele as “unlike anyone I’ve ever met in my life.” His first child was delivered via surrogate. People just fall in love with her, in my opinion.
You can tell that she has taught me how to love, and you can tell that she is a mama lion and that nothing will ever happen to this child when you see her. It is truly incredible.
Netflix star Zach had previously described a horrific swelling on his face that required treatment. Writing on Instagram, the actor revealed about his drastically different face: “Sooooooo… Yesterday was fun.”
He later returned to share a photo of himself with a noticeably puffier face. One of his eyes was forced shut because his face was so swollen. He wrote, “Good thing we wrapped @criminalminds last week.
Zach thanked the staff for their assistance as he showed off his slowly recovering face after seeing the doctor. The star thanked all the staff at Huntington Hospital for coaxing me back to normalcy, but there are still some ways to go.
