Vinessa Shaw’s husband files for divorce as Hollywood couple separates after nearly 16 years of marriage and co-parenting.

End of an Era

Vinessa Shaw and Kristopher Gifford’s marriage has officially hit the rocks.

After nearly 16 years together, Gifford filed divorce papers last week, citing those all-too-familiar irreconcilable differences.

Their relationship had been on pause since October last year, just shy of their anniversary milestone.

Co-Parenting Plans

Little Jack, their 7-year-old son, remains at the center of their focus.

Gifford isn’t looking for any cash from the split, just joint custody of their boy.

The couple welcomed Jack back in 2018 after what Shaw described as a complicated delivery that didn’t go according to plan.

Before things went south, Shaw shared happy moments on Instagram.

An axe-throwing birthday celebration and heartwarming Father’s Day posts gave no hint of trouble brewing.

Their last public appearances together happened in summer 2023, months before their quiet separation.

Most fans remember Shaw as Allison from the beloved Halloween classic “Hocus Pocus.”

Though she skipped the 2022 sequel, her performance alongside Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker cemented her place in cult movie history.

Her resume boasts impressive credits including “Eyes Wide Shut” and recent appearances on “Yellowstone.”

Neither camp has made public statements about the split.

Shaw’s representatives haven’t responded to media inquiries, leaving fans wondering what’s next for the actress.

Meanwhile, both parents seem focused on minimizing disruption for their son during this transition.
