Cassidy Freeman's Relationships: The Actress Is Divorced & Has a Child with Her Current Partner
In the early 2010s, actress and producer Cassidy Freeman got married. Unfortunately, that union did not last, and the couple had never shared any children by the time it was over. Years later, she found love again and has become a mother.
Cassidy Freeman is an actress who began her career and had an agent by the time she was ten. However, she is not the only creative soul in her family, as her older brothers are also professional actors, even though their parents were corporate litigators.
Since joining the industry, her career has grown, and she has also experienced growth in her personal life. In 2012, she became a wife, and even though the marriage ended, the actress became a mother ten years later, sharing a daughter with her current partner.
Cassidy Freeman's First Husband Is a Hatter
The exact timeline of how Justin Carpenter became Cassidy Freeman's husband is unclear, as the star has been very discrete with her personal life. She was first featured on his now-dormant Instagram account on May 6, 2012.
Justin, a descendant of Lemuel Carpenter, one of the first Anglo-American settlers in Los Angeles, is a hatter and described himself as a future vegetarian. He is from Southern California and makes his artistic creations under Rancho Carpintero.
Justin and Cassidy married in September 2012 and honeymooned in Essaouira, Morocco. In a cute Valentine's post in 2015, the hatter posted a picture of his then-wife as they sat down for breakfast. In the caption, he joked:
"Dim Sum for breakfast. Happy wife, Happy Valentine's."
Unfortunately, after almost four years of marriage, the actress filed a petition for divorce in August 2016. Their divorce procedure was finalized in December 2017.
The same month her divorce was finalized, the actress opened up about her work and feelings. She said she felt "an incredible amount of freedom making a living doing" what she loves. She added:
"I feel freedom in my close relationships, to be honest and vulnerable. I feel a sense of professional freedom now that my next chapter is a blank canvas."
Cassidy Freeman Found Love Again and Became a Mother
The actress began dating again, and on New Year's Day, 2022, she revealed that she was expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Ben Ellsworth. The actress, who had kept her pregnancy off the radar, posted a photo of her belly with her partner as she wished her fans a happy new year.
Less than two months after the pregnancy reveal, the couple welcomed their daughter, Gigi Kaya Ellsworth, born on February 6, 2022. In an Instagram post, Cassidy wrote:
"Welcome to the world, Gigi Kaya Ellsworth ✨✨on Feb 6th 2022 you came to join us and I am in awe of you, so wildly in love with you and very excited to get to know you. ❤️❤️❤️ 'The longest baby I've ever seen' -our midwife [sic]."
Cassidy Freeman's Boyfriend, Ben Ellsworth, Has a Fascinating Profession
Former basketball player Ben is a level 1 Wim Hof Method (WHM) instructor, a training ideology heavily grounded in nature. He is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and describes his training specialty as "Nature meets Science." He was a five-star rating for his services online.
He is also a mountain running enthusiast and has a teenage daughter who turned 15 in November 2021 from a previous relationship. "She takes the best 'Us-ies'!" the 'girl dad' wrote with his birthday tribute that year.
Like Miranda Lambert with ex-NYPD hubby Brendan McLoughlin, Cassidy has dated outside the entertainment industry. Wanda Sykes and Alex Niedbalski, a granite countertop saleswoman, and Gal Gadot, with developer Yaron Varsano, are other successful couplings of this kind.
