Steve Howey and Sarah Shahi were together for nearly two decades before calling it quits. The twosome first crossed paths in 2003 when Shahi appeared on an episode of Reba, which aired the following year. Howey, for his part, portrayed Van on the WB sitcom, which ran from 2001 to 2007. Shahi sparked a romantic relationship with Howey and shortly after her career took off - with a little help from his father, who was an acting coach. In February 2009, the couple exchanged vows in Las Vegas. Five months later, they became parents when their son, William, was born. The pair expanded their family again in March 2015 with the arrival of their twins, Violet and Knox. While the duo seemed to have it all - Shahi starred on The L Word and later Fairly Legal and Howey found success on Shameless - their marriage took a backseat as their family and careers grew. Us Weekly exclusively broke the news in June 2020 that Shahi had filed for divorce one month prior after the twosome separated in spring of that year. "After much thought and consideration, we have decided to end our marriage," the exes said in a joint statement to Us a the time. "We are so grateful for the past 10 years together and proud of our children that we've raised. As we enter into this new phase of our lives, our priority will remain co-parenting our children with so much love, mutual respect and friendship. And though our relationship is changing, we are committed to continuing our lives as a loving family." Keep scrolling for Shahi and Howey's relationship timeline:
