Us Weekly confirmed on January 10 that TikTok star Kristy Scott filed for divorce from her husband, Desmond Scott, on December 30, 2025, after almost 12 years of marriage. The documents specified that there was no hope of reconciliation and that the former couple “will soon stop living together as husband and wife.” (TMZ reported that Kristy cited alleged infidelity as the reason for their split. Desmond and Kristy share two sons: Vance and Westin.)
Desmond broke his silence later that same day when he admitted via Instagram that he’d made “choices that I am not proud of” while working through the split.
“I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” Desmond wrote via his Instagram Story. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused.”
He continued, “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 Desmond met when they were teenagers and got married in 2014. Although they frequently appeared on each other’s social media over the years, Kristy last posted content with Desmond in December 2025.

“I have a lot of bandwidth, and then, sometimes I just snap. I had some health issues last year, and I was going through a lot of things personally,” Bensimon confided in her listeners. “It really made me see what I wanted in my romantic life, and how I wanted to navigate that and move forward into 2026.”
