Alan Ritchson Says He Doesn't 'Feel Worthy' Amid Divorce From Ex-Wife Catherine After 20 Years of Marriage

Alan Ritchson is opening up about his personal life after filing for divorce from his estranged wife, Catherine Ritchson.

In a candid clip shared via his Instagram on Sunday, September 20, Alan, 43, spoke to his followers about what he described as "post-sauna clarity."

"Here’s some post-sauna clarity for ya. Today I want to talk about learning to love yourself and how I think this could be the great antidote to our times and the frustration that many of us feel," he said. "You know, the world bombards us with so many messages, each day, about how we’re not quite enough, right?"

The Reacher star continued, "If we just bought this thing or if we were not sober we’d be more fun, more relational, we’d be better friends, you know? If we had this or that material thing we’d be worth more to the world and more worthy of love, right? It’s kind of the message that capitalism teaches us and it’s hard in western cultures to get rid of that lie."

In the upload captioned, "to whoever needs to hear this…," the star discussed how self-love is important to be able to show up for not only yourself, but for others as well.

"I, personally, grew up in a home where my parents, when my mother would notice that I got a lot of attention effortlessly without trying," he said. "As a kid, people would just approach us. 'Look at him' and, 'Oh, he’s so, you know, so cute.' In my ear, she’d whisper, 'It’s not all about you.'"

Alan added, "This reduction of myself when I wasn’t even trying to get attention, so you hear that enough times and you start to feel like, 'I’m not only not worthy of love, but I’m not supposed to be loved.'"

"It’s a wicked cycle, but it starts with us saying, 'Hold on, I’m enough.' And you’re enough. You’re enough, and to anybody else who needs to hear that — I need to hear that – you’re enough. No matter what you’re going through, you’re enough," Alan concluded.

Alan's message comes not long after he announced his split from Catherine, 37, after two decades of marriage.

"After 20 years together, Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside one another in a different way," the duo announced in a joint statement shared via Instagram on September 12. "We grew up together, we built a life and a family together."

The pair added, "We are raising three incredible boys, who will always be the center of our world. Nothing can diminish what these years have meant to us — or the love and respect we will always share."
