Influencer Kristy Scott Opens Up About Life After Divorce

Kristy Scott shocked her millions of fans on social media when she filed for divorce from soon-to-be ex-husband Desmond Scott in December 2025. As details of her infidelity emerged as the cause, Kristy retreated from the spotlight for a bit, but is now ready to enter a new era.

In true fashion fashion, Kristy took to social media to share her life story with her fans as she transitioned from a well-known influencer couple to a single mother.

Kristy Scott ‘says yes’ and moves forward with 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 linked to Desmond for several years as they are extremely successful content creators as a couple.

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 difficult,” but she makes the effort to carve out some “me time.”

One way she aspires to do this is to “say yes more,” after sharing that she has developed social anxiety and often makes excuses to stay indoors “lying in bed and binge-watching TV shows,” but she wants to change that.

“I usually had an excuse not to go, but because I always felt like, ‘Oh, I have to tackle this, this and this.’ And lately I’m like, “You know what? I have to say yes to some things,” Kristy said.

“Just being able to go out and have fun and forget about a little responsibility for a minute, I vibed with that,” said the influencer with over 2 million followers. “I say all this to say that this is your sign to get back into your hobbies.”

Kristy filed for divorce from Desmond Scott due to his infidelity

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

“I want to start by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been affected by the public attention surrounding this situation,” Desmond began in a post on his Instagram Stories. “I know this news has been disappointing to many, and I am truly sorry for the hurt it has caused. Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first.”

Without explicitly using the word “cheating,” Desmond made it clear that he made “choices” that he was “not proud of” when the couple was going through difficulties in their marriage.

“Kristy and I have faced challenges and made sincere efforts to overcome them,” he revealed. “Toward the end of 2025, I wanted to separate and had conversations with Kristy about it. During that time, I made choices that I am not proud of. I took responsibility for those actions, shared it directly and personally with her, and ultimately, we decided to divorce.”

“I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter in our lives. Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. I am grateful for this support and will continue to share my love for food and the things that inspire me. I hope you will continue this journey with me,” Desmond concluded.

Kristy previously shared her anxiety about returning to social media after split

On January 29, Kristy posted an Instagram video going shopping and admitted to being “nervous” to talk to her fans after being in the middle of dramatic headlines.

“I’m literally shaking,” Kristy said at the time. “I’m really nervous making this video, but my nervous system is also affected. It’s kind of been the case for the past month.”

“I don’t want to get emotional, but I feel like this is going to force you to see a different side of me,” she continued. “Because you always see the chaotic, humorous side of me and it’s just not within my capabilities to do that right now.”

“I’m just going to share with you the raw, the real, the ugly, just like how I’m transitioning,” Kristy added.

She advances in her work thanks to high-profile brand deals

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

She has a slew of high-profile brand deals under her belt as her influencer career has continued for a decade.

Kristy and Desmond were high school sweethearts

The former couple met when they were 14 and 15, and before becoming a successful social media couple, they were business partners.

The two created the media production company Meant To Be Films, which specializes in the production of wedding videos.
