Alan Ritchsonmay play a tough-as-nails retired military cop onReacher, but at home, he’s a doting father of three boys: Calem, Edan and Amory.

Alan continued, “And for some insane reason I’m grateful beyond measure.”

In 2023, the actor revealed in an interview withThe Wall Street Journalthat he and Catherine had sold their Florida home so the whole family could travel with him for work. Now, they live “on the road” and stay in Airbnbs and hotels when Alan is on set.

The dad of three also has tattoos honoring his sons' unique names — a dove for Calem, a flame for Edan and a shield for Amory.

The actor continued, “He’s a good reminder to me to do less of the things I’ll regret and relish in the finer things in life. Like these immortal games of airplane. Happy birthday my little bear.”

Edan Ritchson, 12

Alan and Catherine welcomed their second child, Edan, in 2013.

The actor has a tattoo of an abstract flame in honor of his secondborn, per a 2024 interview withThe Hollywood Reporter.

Like his brothers, Edan enjoysplaying board gamesand visiting his dad on set. Because Alan’s kids travel with him, that also means the family gets to visit exciting places likeMount Tutokoin New Zealand and theEiffel Towerin Paris.

In 2023, the actor wrote about how he had to miss Edan’s birthday due toReacher’s filming schedule. So, the family celebrated early with a day at the arcade.

“It’s a special kind of pain knowing the work I love so much requires I miss major milestones in my kiddos lives like birthdays and school plays,” he wrote in anInstagram post. “I won’t be able to be there for my middle boy’s birthday this year. But I’m grateful I got to throw a little pre-birthday ‘yes day’ celebration for, Edan.”
