On Jan. 19, 2025, Desmond responded to Kristy’s divorce filing.
“I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” Desmond began. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused.”
He emphasized his role as a father.
“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.”
Desmond went on to explain that while they tried to work through their issues, things ultimately fell apart and they “faced challenges.” He penned that they worked hard to and “made sincere efforts to work through them,” but after he told her he “wanted to separate” at the end of 2025, he admitted he eventually “made choices” that he said he wasn’t “proud of.”
Desmond concluded, “I took responsibility for those actions, I shared this with her directly and personally, and ultimately we decided to divorce. I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter of our lives. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. I’m grateful for that support.”
Fans claim signs of divorce were present, pointing to a video Kristy shared on Dec. 17, 2025.
Fans began to speculate when the couple’s marriage began to go south. Looking for clues, some eagle-eyed social media detectives pointed to a TikTok post shared by Kristy on Dec. 17, 2025, a few weeks before the divorce announcement. Many believed it hinted at the breakup.
In the clip, she struggled to cook for herself as fire alarms sounded in her apartment. The video included text that read, “any time I attempt to cook.” Since Desmond typically handled cooking, fans flooded the comments after news of the divorce broke.
“I remember when she said she will never learn how to cook coz she married a chef…..now she is learning….it’s truly over,” one commenter wrote on Jan.10. Another added, “You can literally see the hurt.” A third penned, “This is definitely around the time she found out. Her light obviously dimmed. Nobody deserves this!”
In a follow-up video of Kristy prepping another meal, one commenter wrote, “Kristy letting the world know she can cook without Desmond.”

“Giving my chef husband a break,” she captioned the clip, which showed her preparing intentionally lazy “meals,” including a bowl of ice and a can of Spam with a fork.“When we got married, he banned me out the kitchen so,” she wrote.

They celebrated 10 years of marriage in August 2024 with a beautiful floral-themed party.
In August 2024, the couple celebrated 10 years of marriage with a floral-themed anniversary party surrounded by friends and family. Speaking to PEOPLE at the time, Kristy and Desmond reflected on how far they had come.
“The theme of the party was focused on floral elegance. Our guests felt like they were walking into a garden,” the couple told PEOPLE about their anniversary soirée in Houston that year. “Our aim was to be elegant and timeless.”
The celebration was deeply personal, touching on their shared history and growth.
“We were teenagers and hadn’t even developed any style preferences, so this was our chance to redo our wedding as the adults that we are now, celebrating the life we’ve built and journey thus far!” the parents explained. “This felt even more special than our wedding.”
They added that friendship was the foundation that built their marriage.
“We have been best friends since teenagers and that’s never changed,” they added at the time. “We focus on genuinely having fun, constantly laughing, keeping things light and spontaneous, and finding humor in everyday life. 10 years flew by, we’ve literally grown up together and navigated life together.”
Kristy and Desmond Scott began posting on social media in 2020.
In 2021, Kristy reflected on the couple’s rise to social media fame while appearing on the Shawn & Andrew Podcast, revealing that the shift was sparked by life in “quarantine.”
“We would post stuff on social media every now and then before the pandemic happened,” she said around the 3:50 mark. “But when quarantine started, I just started posting every day and getting this fool [pointing to Desmond], and once this guy started to laugh and just be his normal, crazy self, it started to kinda blow up.”
As their online presence rapidly grew, Desmond added that their success on social media naturally shifted their professional focus, explaining that they “slowed down a lot” with their wedding film company, which they started in 2018, as content creation took center stage.
Kristy proudly proclaimed that she was the more creative one in the relationship.
