This is the first marriage for Cassidy, who is the daughter of the latePartridge FamilystarDavid Cassidy.
Daviddied of organ failureat the age of 67 in November 2017. At the time, theArrowactress shared a heartbreaking tweet honoring her dad.
“Words cant express the solace our family’s received from all the love & support during this trying time,” she wrote. “My father’s last words were ‘So much wasted time.’ This will be a daily reminder for me to share my gratitude with those I love as to never waste another minute… Thank you.”

“Because I didn’t raise her, I didn’t have to parent her,” Davidtold PEOPLE in 2009. “I’m always here and totally nonjudgmental.”
“To be able to go to someone I’m genetically linked to, tell them anything and know that they’re not going to judge me — it’s unbelievable,” Katie said at the time. “It’s nice when your dad can be your friend.”
But over time, the pair drifted apart. In February 2017, David confessed to PEOPLE that the twowere no longer in contact.
“I wasn’t her father. I was her biological father but I didn’t raise her. She has a completely different life,” he explained. “[But] I’m proud of her. She’s very talented. It’s hard for me to even accept how old she is now.”
