Actor Zach Gilford has filed for divorce from his wife and Criminal Minds co-star Kiele Sanchez after 12 years of marriage, TMZ reported. Gilford delivered the filing on Friday, listing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and “TBD” as to the date of separation, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ. Gilford, 43, and Sanchez, 47, married in 2012, and they reportedly met on the set of the ABC pilot The Matadors in 2010, the Daily Mail reported. Gilford and Sanchez went on to play spouses in the series Criminal Minds and in its retitled form, Criminal Minds: Evolution. “My wife isn’t like anyone I’ve ever met in my life,” Gilford told Us Weekly in 2018. “I think when people meet her, they just fall in love with her.” Gilford is seeking joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s two children, with plans to award Sanchez spousal support according to court documents.
