Who Is Arielle Goldrath?
Arielle Goldrath works in food, not entertainment. She is a professionally trained chef who cooks for private clients and events. Her public profile comes mostly from her marriage to Kevin McKidd, who plays Dr. Owen Hunt on Grey’s Anatomy. Even so, she has never built a celebrity career of her own, and she rarely gives interviews. That is why reliable details are limited, and why this article is careful about what it claims.
Arielle Goldrath’s Early Life and Education
According to several profiles, Arielle was born on August 19, 1988. Her birthplace is listed in different ways. Some sources say Huntington, and others say Dix Hills. These two do not actually conflict, because Dix Hills is a community inside the town of Huntington on Long Island.
She is reported to have two siblings, a brother named Jake and a sister named Paulina. The names and jobs of her parents are not publicly confirmed, so we do not list them here.
For school, she attended Half Hollow Hills High School East in Dix Hills. Some profiles say she graduated in 2006, but this comes from lower-quality sources, so treat the exact year as likely rather than confirmed. After high school, she is reported to have trained as a chef at a culinary school in New York City. The school’s name is not clearly given in the sources we reviewed.
Arielle Goldrath’s Career: Private Chef and Caterer
Arielle built her career in food, and she moved to California as an adult. She works as a private chef, preparing meals for clients and events. She is also reported to co-own a catering company called Kanyon Girls Catering. Some articles spell it “Canyon Girls,” so both spellings appear online.
Several profiles say the company first supplied meals to film and TV productions in Hollywood, then expanded to other parts of California. One article that cites the Daily Mail also says she co-founded the business. Other details, such as the company’s founding year, her partners, or her list of clients, are not publicly confirmed. Some websites claim she is an online influencer with a large following. We found no reliable evidence for this, so we left it out.
Her Marriage to Kevin McKidd
Reports say Arielle and Kevin started dating around 2016. Some profiles say they met through her catering work, but this is repeated mostly by smaller sites and is not firmly confirmed.
They married in a private ceremony at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California. HollywoodLife reports the date as January 13, 2018, and describes a Jewish ceremony where Kevin wore a green kilt. Kevin announced the marriage on his website in early March 2018, along with the news that they were expecting a baby. He described the day as a small gathering of close family and friends, ending with a Scottish ceilidh dance.
There is one date conflict. UPI and some People-based reports say they married in November 2017. Most other sources point to January 2018. We use January 13, 2018 as the most commonly reported date, but readers should know it is not fully settled.
Children
Arielle and Kevin have two children. Their son, Aiden, was born on May 13, 2018, which was Mother’s Day. Kevin shared the news on Instagram the same day. Their daughter, Nava, was born in 2019. Some sources give July 2019, but we could not match this to a major news outlet, so the exact date is unconfirmed.
Kevin also has two older children from his first marriage. Arielle’s children are young, so their private lives are not covered here.
Divorce Timeline
The split was reported step by step, which helps explain why some websites mix up the dates.
| Date | What happened |
|---|---|
| July 2022 | Kevin announced on Instagram that they had decided to end the marriage |
| December 2022 | Arielle filed for divorce in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences |
| June 20, 2023 | The divorce was reported as finalized |
| Early 2024 | Us Weekly reported a written settlement on property, custody and support |
In her filing, Arielle asked for joint legal and physical custody and for her name to return to Arielle Leigh Goldrath. Reports also say the couple followed a prenuptial agreement signed before the wedding. In his statement, Kevin called her “an incredible mother,” and both have spoken about their children with care.
Arielle Goldrath in 2026: Where Is She Now?
As of October 2026, we found no major news report about new projects, interviews or legal events involving Arielle. Smaller blogs say she lives privately in the United States and focuses on her children and work. This matches her long-standing pattern, but these blogs do not usually name original sources. In short, her current job and location are not independently confirmed.
What Other Articles Get Wrong or Leave Unclear
Many biographies copy each other, so small errors spread. Here are the main ones we found.
- Her age: Some articles still say she is 37. Based on her August 19, 1988 birth date, she is 38 in October 2026.
- Marriage date: Sources vary between November 2017, January 2018 and March 2018. The March date is when the marriage was announced, not when it happened.
- Divorce date: A few sites say the divorce ended in 2022. In fact, she filed in December 2022, and it was finalized in June 2023.
- Religion: One site says she is Jewish and another says Christian. We could not confirm either, apart from the reported Jewish wedding ceremony.
- Husband’s name: One older page wrongly calls him “Scott McKidd.” His name is Kevin McKidd.
Arielle Goldrath’s Net Worth (Estimated)
Most websites give a figure of about $500,000, and one gives a range up to $1 million. No source shows financial records, so this is only an estimate as of 2026 and should not be treated as fact. Her income is said to come from private cooking and catering.
Not the Same as Other “Arielle” Names
People sometimes mix her up with other public figures. Arielle Gold is a US Olympic snowboarder born in 1996. Arielle Angel is a magazine editor, and Arielle Holmes is an actress. None of them are connected to Arielle Goldrath.

How This Was Researched
I researched this biography by reading about ten existing articles on Arielle Goldrath and checking them against news coverage of the marriage and divorce from outlets such as UPI, Us Weekly, Wonderwall and HollywoodLife. Where small blogs disagreed, I trusted news reports first and marked everything else as unconfirmed. I also found that many competing articles use an outdated age, mix up key dates and treat net worth as fact. This article tries to fix that with a clear timeline and a section on conflicting details.
