John Ritter’s son, Tyler Ritter, and widow, Amy Yasbeck, were recently spotted together at a special event in Los Angeles. The duo made a rare appearance at the Motion Picture & Television Fund’s Next Gen Annual Summer Party, where they graced the red carpet in stylish summer outfits.
Tyler Ritter, aged 40, who bears a striking resemblance to his late father, was seen wearing a light blue buttoned shirt paired with light gray jeans and brown oxfords. On the other hand, Amy Yasbeck, aged 62, opted for a fashionable white spaghetti strap dress with a lemon and striped design, accessorized with gold open-toe wedges and a woven straw purse.
The fundraising event, which is known to be one of Next Gen’s significant gatherings of the year, aimed to provide support to both current and retired members of the entertainment industry. It also serves as a platform for emerging talents in Hollywood to advocate for their peers, promoting a sense of community within the industry.
Among the attendees at the star-studded event were notable personalities such as Joshua Jackson, Derek Hough, Katie Lowes, Adam Shapiro, Camilla Luddington, Harry Shum Jr., Busy Philipps, and Whitney Cummings. The presence of these celebrities added to the glamour and importance of the occasion.
John Ritter, a beloved actor who passed away on September 11, 2003, at the age of 54 due to an aortic dissection, had four children – Tyler, Jason Ritter, Carly Ritter, and Noah. Tyler and Jason Ritter, aged 45 and 43 respectively, were born to John and his first wife, Nancy Morgan, with whom he was married from 1977 to 1996.
Additionally, John shared a son, Noah, aged 26, with Amy Yasbeck, whom he married in 1999 until his untimely death. In a heartfelt revelation in May 2024, Yasbeck shared with PEOPLE how their family honours John’s memory through a unique group chat where they share videos of physical comedy that John would have appreciated.
The rare appearance of Tyler Ritter and Amy Yasbeck together serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by John Ritter. Their presence at the event not only resonated with fans of the late actor but also highlighted the bond shared by the Ritter-Yasbeck family in cherishing the memories of their beloved patriarch.
