The Story Behind His Name

He was born on April 4, 2015, and it took four days to settle on a name for the baby. His parents sought a name that was both distinctive and significant. As it was a major choice for them, the actor Daniel one said in the interview that he goes by nicknames like “Sweetheart,” “Rasin,” and even “Calcified alien” in the meantime. However, before his birth, his parents narrowed it down to two names.

The pair still has 700 names on their list, and they also made a kind of Venn Diagram to see which names overlapped. Then they chose their top selections from the list. When he was born, the parents couldn’t decide whether to name him Theodore or Vigo. After considerable deliberation, they chose to incorporate both names with the assistance of a numerologist. In the end, he received both names, and his mother liked Sullivan’s name, so they included it in his name as well. Because he was born on the fourth day of the fourth month, his father chose to give him four names. As a result, they chose the name Theodore Vigo Sullivan Gillies for their newborn boy.

Divorce

The pair formally terminated their engagement in June 2019. Their followers were devastated when this news emerged on social media. Through the Instagram post, the pair announced the breakup of their 15-year marriage. They stated in the open letter that it was a difficult choice for them to split as a couple, that they had many wonderful moments together, and that they begged their supporters not to spread hate about this for the sake of their children.

When they announced their divorce, Daniel was shooting in New Zealand, and both of them wanted to talk to their children about it, but one at a time. Rachael said in an interview that as long as her children are safe, she will be safe as well. Nobody warns you how difficult adulting will be, and I am learning. The couple mutually agreed to divorce. However, the cause for their divorce is still unclear. The couple is still on excellent terms, and they are each other’s best friends.
