Tributes to her husband
Months into their marriage, Vanessa Morgan had paid tribute to her husband on social media. She reportedly posted several photos of Kopech, sharing her love and appreciation toward him.
The Riverdale star last posted a photo of them in April to mark her husband’s birthday. But, she has since stopped sharing updates about her marriage.
When she revealed her pregnancy, her posts also reportedly centered on her and her baby. Some wondered, then, why Michael Kopech was missing. But, they never responded to the queries, even in today’s reports.
On Kopech’s part, sources said that he has no active social media accounts. He prefers to “fly under the radar,” the reports added.
The most recent update about him, though, revealed that he would not participate in this year’s season due to “personal reasons.” This reportedly emerged before the divorce claims between him and Vanessa Morgan came into light.
