Meet Mallory Hagedorn

The actor was married to a woman called Mallory Hagedorn.

However, a report from The Guardian claims that she filed for divorce after Zach was first arrested in 2021 and said that her husband had been:

“Deceiving and manipulating me and everyone around him, and he is not the person that I believed he was.”

She is not in the limelight herself and reports from The Sun and Nicki Swift say she is a hairstylist in Los Angeles.

Mallory appears to have deleted all known social media profiles, as has Zach.

Inside their marriage

The pair reportedly wed in October 2014 at the Four Seasons Los Angeles and were married for seven years.

In an interview with Medium about his career in 2019, Zach said: “My amazing wife, Mallory has been my rock, my sounding board and my partner in crime throughout my entire journey.”

“Today we both have amazing careers, a true home in Los Angeles and wonderful life. Without her support and belief in my dreams, I definitely would not be where I am today,” he continued.

They have one child

Zach and Mallory have one child together, a son called Jaxon, who they welcomed in 2017.

Speaking to Swagger Magazine in 2019, the actor spoke about the emotion he felt after becoming a dad.

“Due to the fact that most of our job is genuinely tapping into empathy, emotions, and relationships; the amount of emotion that you get to experience when you become a Dad is unmatched,” he said.

“There are no words to describe the feeling of love, commitment, and responsibility that comes with having a child so having these in your ‘arsenal’ when prepping for a role is incredible,” he continued.

However, he said that being a father was “challenging” as an actor as he is away from home a lot.
