Scott and Kelley Wolf split after 21 years
Scott and Kelley Wolf have split after 21 years of marriage.
The Party of Five actor and the 48-year-old reality star - who have Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11, together - married in May 2004 after two years together, but on Tuesday (10.06.25) Kelley confirmed they have separated following a "long, quiet journey", though she declined to give any details.
She wrote on Instagram: 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage.
"This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.'
Kelley went on to praise Scott, 57, as a great dad and "one of the best partners" she could have shared her life with as she vowed to put the children first.
She continued: 'Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with.
'He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit. We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. My priority has always been their wellbeing—and my own healing. That will never change.
'I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace. Thank you to the many friends, family, and professionals who have held space for me with love. Please respect our privacy during this time. May we all remember: healing isn't loud. It's sacred. [white heart emoji]."
Scott admitted it hadn't been an easy decision for the couple to separate.
He told People magazine: "After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley. Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter."
Last year, the former The Real World: New Orleans star admitted she had come close to leaving their relationship in the past but Scott had vowed to fight for them to stay together.
Marking their 20th wedding anniversary, Kelley shared the story on Instagram as she recalled telling Scott: 'I love you. I love you more than I've ever loved anybody. I almost loved you enough to stop loving myself. But I remembered that nothing in life is going to last if I leave myself behind. I can see the future of that scenario and one day you'll wake up and wonder what happened to that girl and I won't even remember who she was. Well, I had promised her that I would never ever leave her again. so when you're ready, I'll be here, but I will not stick around while somebody tries to excavate fault in me.'
And he responded: "You are really going to leave. I believe you. I can see it. I can feel it. And there is no chance in hell I am going to let that happen, so let's do this. Let's do this hard part, the uncomfortable part. The part where I have to look in the mirror and see my old pattern where I have tried to find fault in somebody in the hopes that I would prove that nobody can really do the hard stuff and stick around.''
Kelley added: 'And that day, I won't go into all the details, but we went into the cave. Together. And when we came out, you couldn't find two people more bonded, more connected, and more clear about the promise we were about to make to each other."

Pierce Brosnan didn't give his sons Dylan and Paris acting advice as the trio starred together in The Unholy Trinity
Pierce Brosnan gave his sons "very little advice" as they worked together on the new movie The Unholy Trinity. The 72-year-old star is joined by his youngest boys Dylan, 28, and Paris, 24, - who he has with his wife Keely Shaye Smith - in the film and explained that he didn't want to overload the pair on their acting bows in the Western action flick. Pierce told People magazine: "I gave very little advice, and they asked me for very little advice. I think both men knew instinctively what to do: Show up on time, know your lines, and be brilliant. Be relaxed, and have fun, and go play." However, the former James Bond actor was less impressed by how untidy his sons were in the motor home they shared during the snowy production. Brosnan said: "It was winter, the snow was coming in, they didn't wipe their feet. Just the old common sense, 'Wipe your feet, take your boots off, for God's sake!' You know?" Pierce revealed how Dylan and Paris grew up on his movie sets as they travelled the world with their parents at the height of his movie career. The star - who also adopted his late wife Cassandra Harris' (who passed away aged 43 in 1991 from ovarian cancer) children Chris, 52, and Charlotte - who died from the same disease as her mother in 2013 at the age of 41 - recalled: "We always stayed together tight as a family during the days of James Bond. "(Dylan and Paris) have been on the road with me since they were tiny. Keely and I took them everywhere with us around the world." Paris explained that he and his brother's appearance in the movie "organically came about". He said: "It kind of naturally and organically came about. There were some little opening for us to get in there and dip our toes in the water." Dylan, meanwhile, wasn't concerned about how much screen time he got as he embraced the chance to act alongside his father and brother. He said: "It was just really nice to go spend time with Dad and Paris and be a part of that."

Scott and Kelley Wolf drama takes disturbing twist with choking allegations months before divorce filing
Police were informed about a past alleged choking incident on the day Scott Wolf's wife was detained and taken to a hospital. The alleged altercation reportedly went down three months before the Party of Five actor filed for divorce on June 9 after 21 years of marriage, reports the New York Post. When officers arrived at Scott and Kelley's Utah residence on June 13 over an alleged 'verbal dispute,' an unnamed male detailed a 'past-occurred assault' that he said happened on March 6, according to a report taken by the Summit County Sheriff's Office. In the heavily redacted documents obtained by Us Weekly, the individual reported someone allegedly 'putting her hands around his neck' but noted they 'did not choke him hard enough to restrict blood or air flow.' 'After a few minutes of conversation, [the alleged victim] stated that [the individual's] attempt to choke him may have caused air and [blood] flow restriction for a small moment. [The alleged victim] stated [the individual] did this in their bedroom while he was laying in bed in the presence of [a third party]. [The alleged victim] stated he did not receive any injuries, marks or bruises from the incident,' the report detailing the alleged March incident read. The document also shed light on the June 13 alleged disturbance, in which an unnamed female claimed their brother-in-law was trespassing. The person claimed they wanted him removed; however, officers were later told that the brother-in-law had permission to be there by one of the homeowners. Kelley claimed she was 'taken against' her will by police on June 13 and later hospitalised following a 911 call in which the caller alleged someone was blocking their driveway and not allowing them to enter the home, per a report made public on Tuesday. The call lasted for around 15 minutes and was placed at 2.50am. Scott's ex shared her run-in with cops on her Instagram Live last week. In the video, two officers are seen with Kelley, with one of them informing her she wasn't going to jail and they were there to get her 'some help.' During the live, an officer was heard telling Kelley she 'made some comments to your dad and comments to people that are concerning,' and they 'want to make sure you're okay.' Law enforcement later confirmed that 'deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help.' 'Upon speaking with the female, our Deputies learned that she had made concerning comments to a family member, and she also made similar comments to our Deputies,' they told People in a statement. 'For that reason, our Deputies transported the female to a local hospital.' Kelley addressed the incident, calling it 'one of the darkest things I've ever experienced.' 'This is horrible. I have been taken against my will. Please check in on my kids,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories. 'Also … I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been. I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA.' Following her hospitalisation, an officer reportedly contacted the alleged choking victim to ask if they wanted to press charges, but they declined, reported Us Weekly. '[The alleged victim] stated that he … no longer wished to pursue charges because of some recent developments involving [redacted] that he believed would provide them some solutions. I provided [him] with my email address and told him to contact me if he changes his mind. No further action was taken,' the report read. The Post reached out to Scott's rep for comment. Scott filed for divorce on June 9, ending over two decades of marriage. 'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' the star said in a statement to The Post. 'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.' The Party of Five actor — who played Bailey Salinger on the hit series — married Kelley in 2004 after meeting her in 2002 following her stints on MTV's The Real World: New Orleans and The Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Scott and Kelley share three children.

Kelsea Ballerini doesn't want exercise to be a 'punishment'
Kelsea Ballerini doesn't want exercise to "feel like a punishment". The 31-year-old singer's favourite way of keeping in shape is to go for a good long walk, but she also takes regular Pilates classes because she "doesn't hate" doing it as much as other formers of keeping fit. She told People magazine about her fitness routine: "For me, it's walks. Walking is so good for you. It also makes you get fresh air and some good sunshine, and that's so good for your mental health. "I'm a Pilates girly. That for me has been my tried and true the last five years because I don't hate doing it, and I don't want working out to feel like a punishment." When it comes to her diet, Kelsea follows an "80/20 rule". She explained: "So 80% of the time I'm really healthy, 20% of the time catch me at McDonald's. "My favourite thing to cook — I've been upping my protein a lot recently just because I didn't realise how much protein we're supposed to have as women— and I cook a really good chimichurri steak ... that is my go-to. "I'll do it a couple of times a week. I have some in the fridge downstairs ready to go." The Cowboys Cry Too singer loves an occasional treat meal from McDonalds, which she believes is a throwback to her childhood. She said: "As a kid, I was such a picky eater, and my parents joke with me, like, 'All you would eat were waffles and chicken nuggets.' So I think it's just probably my inner child craving it still." As she gets older, Kelsea's attitude to fitness has changed with her desire to be "360 healthy". She said: "I think especially in my early twenties and mid-twenties, the idea of fitness was very much only aesthetically driven, and that was my goal. "The older I've gotten, [the more] mentally healthier I've gotten as well... "I want to be mentally healthy. I want to be physically healthy, emotionally healthy, and I want to be able to sustain the life and the career that I've been lucky enough to build for myself... "It's the most important thing to me now, honestly."
