Sutton Foster is divorcing Ted Griffin after 10 years of marriage

Broadway and “Younger” star Sutton Foster is ending her marriage to screenwriter Ted Griffin just before their 10th wedding anniversary.

The 49-year-old Broadway actress filed for uncontested divorce on Tuesday, according to New York County Superior Court records reviewed by USA TODAY. She and Griffin, 53, married on October 25, 2014, according to reports at the time. The two share a 7-year-old daughter, Emily.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Foster and Griffin for comment.

Foster, a two-time Tony winner, is wrapping up her role as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone in the Broadway production of “Once Upon a Mattress.” Griffin's credits include “Ocean's Eleven” and episodes of the ABC drama series “9-1-1.”

When she spoke to USA TODAY in 2014 about her starring role in the Broadway musical “Violet” – which earned Foster a Tony nomination for best actress – she talked about how she dealt with her character traveling from North Carolina on a Greyhound bus Oklahoma drove to remove a facial scar caused by an accident. At the time, Foster was engaged to Griffin.

“This will be my second marriage. “I feel like I’m starting a whole new chapter of my adulthood, and Violet’s journey speaks to me on so many levels,” said Foster. “She feels so much shame and despair, and then she finally meets someone who sees past her flaws and kind of loves her because of them.”

“It's a powerful message because no one is perfect and we are looking for partners with whom we can share our lives and who can get through whatever lies ahead,” she added. “I feel like I’ve found the person I want to get on the bus with. And that’s really exciting.”
