Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech filed for divorce from actress Vanessa Morgan in June. The couple got married in January.ย 

TMZ Sports reported the news Monday.

Speculation was raised about the couple's status after Morganย announcedย Friday she was pregnant with a son who's due in January but didn't mention Kopech.

A representative for theย Riverdaleย actress toldย Tracy Swartzย of theย Chicago Tribuneย the White Sox starter is the child's father.

No further details about the breakup were released.

Kopech, 24, made his debut for the White Sox in 2018. He posted a 5.02 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 14.1 innings, showcasing a high-powered fastball that made him one of the organization's top prospects.

The Texas native missed the 2019 season because of Tommy John surgery andย confirmedย in early July he'd opted out of the coronavirus-shortened 2020 campaign.

Morgan starred inย The Latest Buzzย andย My Babysitter's a Vampireย before joining theย Riverdaleย cast in 2017. She also competed onย The Amazing Race Canadaย in 2013.
