Does Skeet Ulrich Have a Wife? Inside the Actor's Love Life

From two very different marriages to a headline-making fling with a famous actress, the actor's love life has been full of twists, trials, and public curiosity.

Best known for "Scream" and "Riverdale," Skeet Ulrich has had a romantic history as varied as his acting roles. Fans often ask — does Skeet Ulrich have a wife? This article explores his two marriages, a highly publicized child support case, and his short-lived relationship with a younger Hollywood star.

Skeet Ulrich's First Wife

Ulrich married actress Georgina Cates in 1997 at the age of 27, during the early rise of his film career. Around this time, he had begun gaining attention in Hollywood with standout performances in "Scream" in 1996 and "As Good as It Gets" the following year.

Not long after tying the knot, the couple left the bustle of Los Angeles behind and relocated to a sprawling 500-acre farm in Virginia, where Ulrich designed their home himself.

While living in Virginia, the actor balanced life between film sets and his passion for woodworking, spending time crafting furniture in a large on-site workshop. Cates, meanwhile, continued her own work in the entertainment industry.

Despite the legal disputes that followed his split from Cates, Ulrich eventually moved on in his personal life.

Born Clare Woodgate on January 14, 1975, in Colchester, Essex, England, she began her acting career on British television under her birth name before transitioning to film and adopting the stage name Georgina Cates.

She became known for roles in "An Awfully Big Adventure" in 1995, "Stiff Upper Lips" the following year, and "Big City Blues" in 1998, eventually relocating to the U.S. to continue her career.

In 2001, the couple welcomed twins — Jakob and Naiia. However, despite many years together, their relationship ultimately unraveled and they divorced in 2005. Although the marriage ended, Ulrich and Cates continued to share custody of their children.

Then, several years later, Ulrich's name resurfaced in the headlines due to a legal dispute with his ex-wife. In 2013, he appeared in a Los Angeles Superior Court for a contempt hearing related to unpaid child support.

According to court records, the actor had allegedly fallen behind by over $284,000 in agreed-upon payments. A hearing was scheduled to address the charges, and the actor pleaded not guilty. A source close to the case explained:

"This would not have happened if his not paying had just started, but it has been going on for years."

Despite the legal disputes that followed his split from Cates, Ulrich eventually moved on in his personal life. Years after the divorce, he would marry again — this time to a woman outside the Hollywood spotlight, marking a new chapter in his romantic journey.

Skeet Ulrich's Second Wife

Ulrich's second marriage came years later, this time to actress and writer Amelia Jackson-Gray. Known for her work in "The Campaign" in 2012, "Point Mugu" the following year, and "The Girl on the Roof" in 2018, Jackson-Gray brought a creative spark of her own to the relationship.

The couple tied the knot in a picturesque ceremony at Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse, nestled in the scenic hills of California’s Santa Ynez Valley. The wedding was an elegant blend of rustic Americana and English charm—a thoughtful nod to Jackson-Gray’s British roots.

Although the celebration reflected joy and individuality, the marriage itself was short-lived.

They exchanged vows in an intimate circular ceremony, surrounded by antique English silver teapots and floral arrangements that added a touch of vintage flair.

Guests enjoyed a live bluegrass band and a curated menu that included oysters on the half shell, traditional English pasties, and a variety of tarts and pies for dessert.

Jackson-Gray wore an understated lace gown by Priscilla of Boston, completing the look with a pair of cowboy boots that perfectly matched the big day's relaxed elegance.

Although the celebration reflected joy and individuality, the marriage itself was short-lived. Ulrich and Jackson-Gray eventually divorced in 2015, quietly bringing an end to the actor's second attempt at wedded life.

A New Love Interest

In February 2021, Ulrich made headlines once again — this time for his short-lived relationship with actress Lucy Hale.

The two were spotted in Los Angeles sharing a PDA-filled lunch date at Sweet Butter Café, where they were photographed holding hands and exchanging kisses while waiting for their meal.

Later, they were seen walking together through the city, dressed casually in jeans, sunglasses, and face masks, looking relaxed and affectionate.

However, the relationship, which had all the buzz of a budding Hollywood pairing, ultimately lasted just three months. According to a source close to the pair:

"It was more of a trial run. They wanted to see if they could be more than friends, but it didn't feel right. Skeet was pushing harder, but he's cool with it ending."

From two marriages to a brief romance with a fellow actor, Ulrich's love life has seen its share of highs and lows. While he is no longer married, his past relationships continue to shape public interest.
