Kevin McKidd and Arielle Goldrath split, but their relationship appears stable as they move forward with the next chapter of their lives. Read more about the Scottish acter’s ex-wife and her relationship with the “Grey’s Anatomy” star.
Kevin McKidd is widely known for his character Dr. Owen Hunt that was in over 320 episodes of the popular television series “Grey’s Anatomy” since 2008.
He has also directed some of these medical drama episodes. True to its dramatic form, Dr. Hunt was involved in many romantic relationships.

He married Dr. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) in season seven, but they split up. Following this, Doctor Hunt married Dr. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) in season 11. They eventually divorced, faced with irreconcilable differences over having children.
Then, his character fell in love with his best friend, Dr. Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), with whom the military vet tried the knot. However, while “Grey’s Anatomy” dishes out all the drama, his offscreen love life interests viewers. The actor married Arielle in 2018.
Sadly, this real-life relationship ended in divorce, and although Kevin is very private, he chose to announce the split on his Instagram page in July 2022, where he wrote:
“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 spoke about how, although challenging, they have chosen to redefine their love and lives for one another. He also asked his fans to wish him luck and Goldrath as best friends and co-parents on their new journey together.

Who Is Arielle Goldrath, Kevin McKidd’s Ex-Wife?
Arielle married Kevin in a secret ceremony. The two exchanged vows in Casamigos Ranch in Malibu, California. The bride wore a stunning lace gown with loose sleeves while her groom donned a green kilt in honor of his native Scotland.
The couple met at a mutual friend’s party, which Arielle, a private chef from Dix Hills, New York, was catering. On their fifth anniversary, the actor wrote on social media that she blew him away from the moment they met.
While the two were mostly an under-the-radar couple, they showed off their relationship with the world on social media, which has since been scrubbed from the TV star’s grid.

In one post shared by the “Grey’s Anatomy” star, they were dressed in brown jackets with black caps. He wrote in the caption:
In another, they are in what appear to be cowboy outfits, wishing everyone a happy New Year. Arielle has a massive smile while her husband looks down at her lovingly.

Once again, the dad took to Instagram, where he spoke about how blessed he felt to have all his children. The father of four had expressed that he is much calmer with Nava compared to when he first became a dad, stating:
“I am more relaxed now than I was during my first marriage with my other children. I appreciate the process more. It was stressful for me then.”
Besotted with his kids, Kevin continues to share their Instagram photos. On July 17, 2020, he posted a beautiful picture of them, a growing Kevin with his hands in glee and wearing big cowboy boots while his baby daughter crawled in the background.

Is Kevin McKidd Dating Anyone Now?
The Scotsman did not start dating again within the first months of announcing his divorce. However, on May 31, 2023, tabloids ran paparazzi photos of Kevin and Danielle Savre of “Station 19” getting close while on vacation in Lake Camo, Italy.
The light-haired duo, who have co-starred in cross-over episodes of their Shondaland shows, were spotted canoodling by the docks of the coastal city of Bellagio. The actor was also reportedly seen playfully tapping his paramour on her behind.
The actor’s camouflage swim trunks did nothing to obscure his distinct frame as he made out with Danielle. She was wearing an orange thong bikini on a deck following a swim in the water. Neither has commented on the photos or the nature of their relationship.

Danielle Kathleen Savre was born in Simi Valley, California, on August 26, 1988. As a teenager, she booked her first roles on an episode of UPN’s “One On One” and the TV movie “Murphy’s Dozen” in 2001.
Early in her career, she acted in major TV shows such as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “The X-Files” and “Malcolm in the Middle.”
She played a cheerleader alongside Hayden Panettiere twice in 2006, in “Bring It On: All or Nothing” and “Heroes,” where her character met her doom as one of Sylar’s first victims.

Danielle directed her first project, a short film starring Mia Gascon and Brooke Olivia Gatto, “HEaRD,” in 2021, which she also co-wrote. She returned to the director’s chair for one “Station 19” episode in 2023.
Romantically, she had only been publically linked with one man, Andrew Contis, with whom she purchased a house in Chicago in 2017. Andrew is a video analyst for the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team.
In “Station 19,” she portrays a former Olympiad-turned-firefighter who identifies as bisexual. In real life, the actress prefers not to label her sexuality. She said in an interview that she had been in love with a woman in the past.

Who Is Kevin McKidd’s Other Ex-Wife?
Kevin was married to Jane Parker for 17 years but went their separate ways, finalizing their divorce on December 22, 2017. They agreed on shared custody of the children.
Beyond that, Kevin was court-ordered to pay her a monthly spousal support sum of $65,096, among other incurring costs. They both got to keep a house, with Jane driving off in the 2014 Chevy Volt.
While these two had a primarily amicable divorce, many are incredibly messy such as Coleman Laffoon and the late Anne Heche, who battled over custody for ages. The two initially got engaged in 2001 but divorced in 2007.
Laffoon alleged that Heche could not look after their son and filed for primary custody. He pushed for mortgage funds, spousal support, and cash assistance. Heche’s party denied any claims that she was an unfit mother.
