Kristy and Desmond Scott Announce Divorce After Over a Decade of Marriage
Kristy and Desmond Scott, who tied the knot in 2014, are going their separate ways. After more than a decade together, Kristy, 30, filed for divorce from Desmond on Dec. 30, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. TMZ reported that Kristy cited alleged infidelity as the reason for the split.
The couple, who began dating in 2010, share two sons: Vance and Westin. Representatives for both Kristy and Desmond did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Desmond addressed the split in an Instagram Stories post on Jan. 10. “I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” he wrote. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused.”
He added, “Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first. I remain fully committed to being an active, present, and loving parent to our boys, as I always have.”
Desmond also acknowledged challenges in their relationship. “Kristy and I faced difficulties and made sincere efforts to work through them. After I told her I wanted to separate at the end of 2025, I eventually made choices that I am not proud of. I took responsibility for those actions, shared them directly with her, and ultimately we decided to divorce. I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter.”
Both Kristy and Desmond have massive social media followings. Kristy boasts 16.9 million TikTok followers and 9.5 million on Instagram, while Desmond has 1.5 million followers on TikTok and 1.8 million on Instagram.
The couple celebrated 10 years of marriage in 2024 with a glamorous floral-themed party. At the time, they told PEOPLE they had been “best friends” since their teenage years and described their relationship as one full of laughter, fun, and spontaneity.
