Actress Alexandra Daddario, best known for her role in Baywatch, and her husband Andrew Form have officially announced the end of their three-year marriage. The couple, who wed in June 2022, have decided to separate amicably, with a focus on their family responsibilities.
Official Statement on the Separation
A representative for Daddario, 39, confirmed the news to People magazine, stating, "Alexandra Daddario and Andrew Form have made the decision to end their marriage." The statement emphasized that the split was handled with care, adding, "The decision was made with love and respect. They will continue to co-parent their child together and appreciate privacy as they navigate this transition."
Family Dynamics and Co-Parenting
Daddario and Form, 57, share a 15-month-old son together. Additionally, Daddario has been a stepmother to Form's two children from his previous marriage to actress Jordana Brewster: Rowan, aged nine, and Julian, aged twelve. The couple's commitment to co-parenting highlights their dedication to maintaining a stable environment for all three children despite the marital dissolution.
Daddario's Career and Recent Comments
In the past year, Daddario has addressed criticism of her acting abilities, defending her professional reputation. She refuted claims of being a "bad actress" by pointing to her Emmy nomination for her role in the HBO series 'The White Lotus.' In an interview with Elle magazine, she explained, "I'm not a bad actress. I've just done some projects that don't showcase me in the way that I should be showcased. Directing and the writing is everything. Sometimes I'm lit poorly, but I'm not a bad actress. I got an Emmy nomination. How do you think I did that?"
Regrets and Challenges in Film Projects
Daddario also opened up about regretting certain acting roles, particularly citing a chaotic independent film experience. She described it as a "disaster" marked by infighting and producers walking off set, though she chose not to name the project out of respect for those involved. "The movie doesn't have to be good, but you know, fighting is not something that I'm into," she remarked, underscoring her preference for harmonious working conditions.
Future Prospects and 'The White Lotus'
Daddario portrayed journalist Rachel Patton in the first season of 'The White Lotus,' a role that earned her critical acclaim. She revealed that series creator Mike White has considered bringing her character and her on-screen husband Shane, played by Jake Lacy, back for a future cameo. Daddario shared, "Shane and I would be on a boat, talking about other people, annoying everyone around us. Mike's brain is always working. That's the whole thing with his commentary on the world around him: He's always observing." This potential return could mark a positive development in her career amidst personal changes.
The announcement of Daddario and Form's divorce comes as a significant update in the entertainment world, reflecting their mutual respect and focus on family. As they move forward separately, their commitment to co-parenting and professional endeavors remains a priority.
