Alan Ritchson is reassessing his relationship with love amid his ongoing divorce. One week after news broke that the Reacherstar and his wife of 20 years, Catherine, would be going their separate ways, the actor shared a few insights about the importance of self-love in a Sept. 20 Instagram post. "Here's some post-sauna clarity for ya. Today I want to talk about learning to love yourself and how I think this could be the great antidote to our times and the frustration that many of us feel," Ritchson began the video, which sees him lounging shirtless. "The world bombards us with so many messages, each day, about how we're not quite enough, right? If we just bought this thing or if we were not sober, we'd be more fun, more relational, we'd be better friends, you know? If we had this or that material thing we'd be worth more to the world and more worthy of love, right? It's kind of the message that capitalism teaches us, and it's hard in Western cultures to get rid of that lie." Referencing his own childhood, Ritchson shared that feelings of self-doubt were instilled in him from a very young age. "I grew up in a home where, when my mother would notice that I got a lot of attention effortlessly without tryingโ as a kid, people would just approach us. 'Look at him' and, 'Oh, he's so, you know, so cute,'" he recalled. "In my ear, she'd whisper, 'It's not all about you.'"
