For the journey of life that lies ahead, we stand together, cheering each other on. Our child remains our utmost concern, and we ask for patience as we manage this change. Sincerely, with love and appreciation, B&C.

As People reports, Ford filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing “irreconcilable differences” with her partner. She has allegedly sought joint legal and physical custody of their son, Leo James, and also requested spousal support from her future ex-spouse.

Simultaneously, their statement touched upon the persistent wildfire situation in California. Yesterday, they found themselves preoccupied with gathering their emergency kits and evacuating, as stated in their post’s heading.

Additionally, it states, “We are secure, yet overwhelmed with sorrow and dismay for our friends who have sadly lost their homes and livelihoods due to the persistent fires. Our sympathy is deeply felt for our community, which has been severely affected by these fires. Love, from us in Los Angeles.

On November 24, 2007, Ford and Routh exchanged vows in Santa Barbara, surrounded by 125 loved ones. The heartwarming event was beautifully orchestrated, creating a picture-perfect atmosphere. Katie Tiffany, the couple’s wedding planner, shared with People that the love and warmth were palpable during the occasion.

Despite not being very active on social media, both Ford and Routh occasionally share heartwarming posts about each other that delight their fans. For instance, Ford frequently honors Routh on Father’s Day with moving tributes, while Routh reciprocates with touching Mother’s Day messages.

In 2023, Routh’s final Mother’s Day post expressed that Courtney Ford is not only a devoted mother but also an unwavering friend. He was deeply thankful for having Courtney in Leo’s life, as she immerses herself wholeheartedly in living and provides him with the freedom and endless love to be his true self.
