Katie Cassidy Files for Divorce from Husband Matthew Rodgers After 2 Years of Marriage
Katie Cassidy‘s marriage to Matthew Rodgers has come to an end.
The Arrow actress, 33, filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, court documents obtained by PEOPLE reveal.
Katie listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, which comes just 13 months after their intimate wedding celebration in Sunset Key, Florida, in December 2018. The date of separation was listed as “to be determined.”
The documents obtained by PEOPLE, however, show that the couple eloped in December 2017 — just one month after the actress’ father, Partridge Family star David Cassidy, died of organ failure at age 67.
A representative for the actress did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Wednesday night, Katie shared a cryptic Instagram post that read, “you’re going to be happy, said life, but first, I’ll make you strong.”

“I can’t help falling in love with you… YES! It’s official!” Katie wrote on Instagram after their Florida ceremony. “I love you my husband.”
