Kristy Scott shocked her millions of fans across social media when she filed for divorce from her soon-to-be ex-husband Desmond Scott.

Kristy Scott shocked her millions of fans across social media when she filed for divorce from her soon-to-be ex-husband Desmond Scott in December 2025. As the details of his infidelity were revealed to be the cause, Kristy retreated a bit from the spotlight, but now she’s ready to embrace a new era.

In true fashion, Kristy took to social media to share her life update with her fans, as she transitions from being part of a well-known influencer couple to a single mom.

Kristy Scott Is ‘Saying Yes More’ And Moving Forward With A Positive Outlook Amid Divorce

In a post on TikTok, Kristy spoke to her followers about how life has been for her lately, including feeling like she’s “building my social life from scratch,” as her social media career has been tied to Desmond for several years due to them being extremely successful couple content creators.

The mom of two sons, Vance, 7, and Westin, 6, admitted in the video that juggling her career and being a mom has been “a little challenging,” but she is making the effort to carve out some “me time.”

One way she aspires to do that is by “saying yes more,” after sharing that she developed social anxiety and often makes excuses to stay inside “laying in bed and binge-watching TV shows,” but she wants to change that.

"I typically would have an excuse or not go, but because I always felt like, ‘Oh, I gotta tackle this, this and that.' And lately, I'm like, 'You know what? I need to say yes to things,'" Kristy said.

"Just being able to go out and enjoy myself and forget about a little bit of responsibility for a minute, I've been vibing with it," the influencer with over 2 million followers said, "I say all this to say this is your sign to dive back into your hobbies."

Kristy Filed For Divorce From Desmond Scott Due To His Infidelity

After the news that Kristy filed for divorce in late December 2025 began to circulate, rumors swirled as to why the seemingly idyllic couple were parting ways, and shortly after Desmond confirmed it was due to his infidelity.

“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 in a post on his Instagram Stories. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused. Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first.”

While not explicitly using the word “cheating,” Desmond made it clear that he made “choices” he was “not proud of” when the couple were going through challenges in their marriage.

“Kristy and I faced challenges and made sincere efforts to work through them,” he revealed. “Toward the end of 2025, I wanted to separate, and I 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. 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,” Desmond concluded.

Kristy Previously Shared Her Anxiety Of Coming Back To Social Media Following The Split

On January 29, Kristy posted an Instagram video out shopping and admitted to being “nervous” talking to her fans after being in the middle of drama-filled headlines.

"I'm literally shaking," Kristy said at the time. "I'm really nervous making this video, but also my nervous system is, like, shot. It kind of has been for the past month."

"I don't wanna get emotional, but I kind of feel like this is gonna force you guys to see a different side of me," she continued. "Because y'all always see like, my chaotic, humorous side and it's just not in me to do that at this current moment in time."

"I'm just gonna share with you guys the raw, the real, the ugly, just like how I'm transitioning," Kristy added.

She Is Moving Forward With Work Via High-Profile Brand Deals

Late last month, Kristy shared via Instagram, her new campaign for YSL Beauty, as she captioned the post “new beginnings.”

She has a host of high-profile brand deals under her belt, as her influence career has been going strong for a decade.
