Who is Katey Sagal's third husband?

Katey is happily married to actor, writer, and producer Kurt Sutter. Kurt is an American screenwriter who's widely famous for his work as a writer in hit television shows and movies like Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, and Southpaw. He also created and was a writer for the Sons of Anarchy spinoff, Mayans MC.

If you think it's an epic love story with some dramatic moments, it's not! Katey recounted that she and Kurt had met through a mutual friend in an interview with E! Online

He asked her if she'd like to grab coffee and she said yes. However, the pair didn't connect until some time later because Katey, being a single mom with two children, had a lot going on. A few months later, they did finally have that coffee date. In an interview years later with CBS News, she recalled that she was in recovery for past substance issues at the time of the date and had brought her sponsor with her because he "didn't trust" Kurt yet. However, after coffee, the two were inseparable. 

In a private ceremony with close family and friends, Katey and Kurt tied the knot in October 2004 at their home in Los Feliz, Calif.

During their seven years of marriage, they shared lots of good memories as well as bad ones. The worst memory they shared was the death of their first daughter, Ruby Jean, who unfortunately passed away in October 1991. Their daughter Ruby was born just two years before their marriage. 

In August 1994, Jack and Katey were blessed with a beautiful daughter named Sarah Grace. And, in 1996, the ex-pair became the parents of a son, Jackson James.
