A pair of social media stars who’ve shared their ups, downs and evolution with millions of followers are calling it quits.
Kristy Scott, one-half of The Scotts, with her husband, Desmond Scott, filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage. The couple, who have been together since middle school, recently moved to Houston, Texas and built their dream home there.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Kristy cited alleged infidelity as the reason behind her filing and says the action has rendered any possible chance of reconciliation as next to impossible. Soon, the couple will stop living together as husband and wife as the divorce proceedings continue.
Kristy and Desmond met in middle school at the age of 14 and have been together ever since. The couple, who wed in 2014, have two sons, Westin and Vance.
One day after their divorce became public, Desmond Scott took to his Instagram Stories on Saturday (Jan. 10) to address it all.
“I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” he began. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused.”
Desmond 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 have always been.
Kristy and I faced challenges and made sincere efforts to work through them. Toward the end of 2025, I wanted to separate, and | had conversations with Kristy regarding this. During this period, I made choices that I am not proud of. I took responsibility for those actions, I shared this with her directly and personally, and ultimately we decided to divorce. l ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter of our lives.”
He concluded, “Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. I’m grateful for that support and will continue sharing my love for cooking and the things that inspire me. I hope you’ll continue that journey with me.”
Through Instagram and TikTok, the Scotts built their brand as a couple sharing not only family content in terms of building their dream home in Texas, but also their various hijinks from Sarah’s custom dresses and wearing random costumes, Desmond’s various chefed up meals and Sarah flipping, cartwheeling and dancing to test out a new pair of heels.
Their last post as a couple came in early December, with Kristy modeling as if she were a labubu and Desmond in the background showing her off.
The dissolution of Scott’s marriage is contributing to a somewhat troubling trend at the start of 2026: couples breaking up.
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Brit Eady announced she was divorcing her husband, Michael Cunningham, after five years of marriage. Meanwhile, Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre, who had become one of our favorite instant couples, quietly ended their romance at the end of 2025.
