Vanessa Morgan & Michael Kopech Split Revealed After Pregnancy Announcement
It's over between “Riverdale” star Vanessa Morgan, 28, and White Sox player Michael Kopech, 24, who tied the knot in January.
The news comes a few days after Vanessa announced she was expecting a baby boy, without any mention of Kopech.
Now, the Chicago Tribune reports Michael filed for divorce on June 19. The paper also confirmed with a rep that Michael is the baby's father.
Kopech popped the question at Mooney Falls in Arizona last July, and they tied the knot in Florida five months later.
The baseball player recently opted not to play for the Chicago White Sox for the 2020 MLB season.
