'Riverdale' star Hayley Law cuts off father after his marriage to her ex-best friend

Hayley Law is reportedly estranged from father after he married her former best friend and co-star, Caitlin Markovitch

Riverdale actress Hayley Law is reportedly estranged from her father following claims that he married her former best friend and one-time co-star, leading to an alleged breakdown in family relationships.

According to reports, the situation has resulted in Law distancing herself from both her father and the woman she once considered close.

Law is known for her role as Valerie Brown on Riverdale, but sources cited in media reports claim her personal life has been affected by a family dispute involving her father, casting director Blair Law.

It is alleged that he married actress Caitlin Mitchell-Markovitch, who previously shared a friendship with Hayley and appeared in a minor role on Riverdale.

Reports suggest that Caitlin and Hayley were once close, with past social media posts reportedly showing them together at family gatherings and events.

However, Caitlin’s recent wedding-related posts showed no appearance from Hayley, fuelling speculation about a breakdown in relations.

An insider quoted in reports said the situation was perceived as a “ultimate betrayal,” adding that the pair “were very close” before the reported marriage.

The source also claimed, “This felt like the ultimate betrayal from both of them,” and stated, “They’ve been together for a while now.”

The insider further alleged that Hayley “cannot get behind this union or the relationship” and “hasn’t spoken to her dad in quite some time.”

Social media activity has also been referenced in reports, with claims that Hayley has unfollowed both her father and Caitlin online. Meanwhile, her sister is said to still maintain connections with both parties, highlighting differing family dynamics.

Blair Law and Caitlin Mitchell-Markovitch reportedly went public with their relationship in 2025 and later announced their engagement on social media. Past posts allegedly show earlier family interactions before the reported rift.
