Popular social media personality and chef Desmond Scott has confirmed his divorce from wife Kristy Scott, taking responsibility for decisions that led to the end of their marriage.
In an Instagram story posted on Sunday, Desmond revealed that he initiated separation talks in late 2025 and made choices he now regrets, which contributed to their decision to divorce.
He apologized to Kristy, their family, and followers, emphasizing her role as the mother of their two sons and his commitment to co-parenting.
“I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation. I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused,” he wrote.
Desmond 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 I faced challenges and made sincere efforts to work through them. 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. I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter of our lives.”
He also thanked supporters for their understanding and vowed to continue sharing his passion for cooking:
“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’s announcement has prompted messages of support from fans, highlighting the couple’s commitment to prioritizing their children despite the divorce.
