• During a SiriusXM Radio Andy interview on August 14, Apa said his son’s 2021 birth forced him to quit partying and commit to sobriety.
• He admitted that he was not sober when he learned model Clara Berry was expecting their son, Sasha Vai Keneti Apa.
• Apa described Sasha as a gift that “saved” his life and said fatherhood awakened in him a willingness to understand why someone would harm others to protect a child.
• The actor acknowledged that Riverdale’s rapid success led him to “get lost” in fame and substance use before becoming a parent.
• Apa, who separated from Berry in May 2024, is now co-parenting Sasha while filming upcoming projects, including a Jimmy Stewart biopic.
