In a heartfelt announcement, actor Joshua Sasse, known for his role in “Outrageous,” has revealed that he and his wife, Louisa Ainsworth, have decided to part ways after seven years of marriage. The couple shared their decision on social media, emphasizing their mutual respect and commitment to their children.
“Earlier this year, after thoughtful consideration and with mutual respect, Louisa and I have come to the decision to part ways,” Sasse, 37, posted on Instagram on July 24. “This decision was not made lightly, but it comes from a place of love, care, and a deep appreciation for the time we have shared together.”
The couple, who married in 2018, welcomed two children during their marriage—Dominic in 2020 and Delilah in 2021. Sasse also has a son, Sebastian, from a previous relationship. In his statement, he highlighted their dedication to co-parenting, stating, “Our children are of the highest importance, and we are fully committed to co-parenting them with stability and support. We very much appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy at this time.”
Sasse and Ainsworth have maintained a relatively private relationship, often keeping their family life out of the public eye. This split comes in a year that has already seen several celebrity breakups, including Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson, who recently announced their separation after a decade of marriage.
Before marrying Ainsworth, Sasse was engaged to pop superstar Kylie Minogue. Their engagement ended in 2017, and both have since moved on. Minogue expressed her gratitude to fans for their support during that chapter of her life, wishing Sasse well as they both embarked on new journeys.
In the wake of his split, Sasse has chosen to focus on his acting career. He recently portrayed Oswald Mosley in the Britbox series “Outrageous,” which centers around the infamous Mitford socialite siblings. The show has received attention for its exploration of complex family dynamics and relationships.
As fans of Sasse and Ainsworth process this news, it serves as a reminder that even in the glamorous world of Hollywood, relationships can face challenges. The couple’s commitment to their children and their respectful approach to their separation reflects a mature handling of a difficult situation.
As 2025 continues, the entertainment industry remains abuzz with celebrity news, including other high-profile splits that have caught public attention. The year has already been marked by significant relationship changes, showcasing the ever-evolving landscape of love and partnership in Hollywood.
In conclusion, while the end of a marriage can be a challenging experience, Sasse and Ainsworth’s focus on their children’s well-being and their mutual respect for one another offers a positive outlook for their future as co-parents. Fans will undoubtedly continue to support both as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
