Devious Maids' Edy Ganem Splits from Husband Ryan Oehm - Read Her Statement

Edy Ganem has announced that her marriage to Ryan Oehm has come to an end.

The 38-year-old actress is best known for playing Valentina Diaz on the hit Lifetime series Devious Maids. She most recently appeared in the indie sci-fi horror comedy film Useless Humans.

Edy and Ryan are parents to two young children. She took to Instagram on Monday night (December 6) to share a photo of the kids with Ryan, along with a letter that she wrote about her divorce.

“I wrote this post on Halloween but I didn’t post it. I guess I wasn’t ready. But I think I am ready now,” Edy started off the lengthy post.

“This is what I wrote: Yesterday would have been our anniversary. But my marriage with this wonderful man has come to an end. I am broken hearted,” Edy continued, “But not for the reasons most people would think. He didn’t do ANYTHING to break my heart.”

“Quite the opposite actually. He PROTECTED it like I’ve never seen before, he respected me, loved me, he listened to me, he wanted to always make me happy and he also gave me the two most important things in my entire life; our two children. I am broken hearted because I never thought I would get divorced. Because I had a dream that my family would always be. And now it is not. It is now divided. I know I need to come to terms with that but I still see families and wish my family was the unit it used to be. I know this is going to sound so confusing. Maybe it is. Maybe I have no idea what I’m doing with my life. But what I do know is that I follow my instincts and my heart. In the process I know I’ve hurt people, specially him. I know I’ve caused pain and I can’t not think about that every day. Another thing I know I’m not supposed to do since I’m being true to myself? and in the end it all is for the best..but what can I say..I feel horrible for all the change I’ve brought to all of us and I hope everyone, including the kids, will be fine and maybe even better than fine. I hope things turn out to be what they’re supposed to be. I only do what I do in the search for happiness,” Edy wrote.

She continued, “I don’t know what follows after here. I just want to know I gave my best and I lived to the fullest..and I STILL feel I’m holding back. I still don’t know how I can feel truly ‘free’? I don’t know if that’s the word I’m looking for. I know this is going to come as a shock to so many..including a lot of people in my family. I feel I owe apologies to some people.”

“Mainly I wanted to post this to actually say what a wonderful man Ryan is. We were together for almost half of what I’ve lived in this life and therefore we’ve shared so many things together. We tried so many foods, we’ve traveled to so many countries, we’ve met some cool people, we’ve had some crazy fun nights out, we made two perfect human beings!!! I would NOT change it,” she said. “Thank you for all the wonderful years together, thank you for being who you are, please stay that way, you are a good good man, you were such a good husband and you’re such a wonderful dad! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to have children with. And I just want to say it again, because I know I’ve said it, just because it’s over now, it doesn’t mean the love wasn’t real. When I saw you, it was love at first sight. I told all my girlfriends you were my ‘future husband’ jokingly but…there’s some truth to every joke right?”

Edy concluded, “Well, it became a reality and it was the best thing ever. I remember being head over heels for you and everyone else remembers it. I hope you do too, I hope you remember that and know that it was all real and I will forever be grateful to you for everything, for all those years, for our children. I hope you know I hold you in the highest regard.”
