Vinessa Shaw’s Husband Files for Divorce
Kristopher Gifford, the husband of actress Vinessa Shaw, has officially filed for divorce. The graphic designer submitted the paperwork on May 22, citing irreconcilable differences. According to court documents, the couple’s separation date is noted as October 25, 2023.
Shaw, who is well-known for her role in the beloved film Hocus Pocus, and Gifford were married on November 20, 2007. Their split comes just shy of their 16th wedding anniversary.
In the divorce filing, Gifford is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their seven-year-old son, Jack. He is not requesting spousal support, according to the documents.
Representatives for Shaw have yet to comment on the situation. The last time Shaw mentioned Gifford publicly was in July 2023 when she shared a memory on social media.
The couple shared a joyful moment just before their separation. In a fun Instagram post for Shaw’s birthday, she and Gifford celebrated at an axe-throwing range. However, their social media presence together has diminished in recent months.
Their son Jack was born in February 2018. Shaw announced his birth with heartfelt words on Instagram, expressing her joy and relief after a challenging delivery.
Vinessa Shaw remains a recognizable figure, celebrated for her role in Hocus Pocus, although she did not participate in the 2022 sequel.
As the couple navigates this difficult time, many fans and followers will be ready to offer their support and understanding.
