Sara Ramírez divorces Ryan DeBolt 6 years after separating


Sara Ramirez and Ryan DeBolt are ending their marriage, more than six years after going their separate ways.

Ramirez, known for “And Just Like That” and “Grey's Anatomy,” filed for divorce Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, The Times confirmed.

Ramirez, 48, married DeBolt, 43, in July 2012 and attributed the divorce to “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents. Ramirez requested that the court honor the prenuptial agreement they made with DeBolt and end the court's ability to award support to either party.

A representative for Ramirez did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment.

Ramirez and DeBolt split on January 1, 2018, but did not publicly announce their separation until 2021. In a post from her since-deleted Instagram account, Ramirez announced, “Ryan and I are no longer together,” E! Informed news.

They reportedly added: “We remain loving and supportive in how we choose to forge our new individual paths. Thank you for leaving space around our choices and respecting our families' privacy as we navigate this process on our own terms.”

Ramírez shared the letter about their love life after coming out as non-binary in August 2020. Ramírez previously came out as bisexual in 2016.

For HBO's “Sex and the City” reboot, “And Just Like That,” Ramírez embraced his nonbinary identity to play divisive comedian Che Díaz. Ramirez will not be returning for season 3 of the show.

Talk of Ramirez leaving “And Just Like That” began in January when they announced on Instagram that they were no longer part of the production. In later deleted posts, they implied that her support for the Palestinians amid Israel's war with Hamas influenced her departure.

In his posts, Ramirez wrote that Hollywood decision-makers are “blacklisting actors and workers who post anything in support of the Palestinians and Gaza to ensure they will not work again.”

They added: “It's amazing how performative so many in Hollywood are.”
