The Tea Surrounding Kristy & Desmond Scott’s Alleged Divorce
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, influencer Kristy Scott (known online as Kristy Sarah) filed for divorce from her husband Desmond Scott on December 30, 2025, after more than a decade of marriage. It’s reported that Kristy cited alleged infidelity as the reason for the split. Filing documents in Harris County, Texas, reportedly state there is no chance of reconciliation and that the couple will soon stop living together as husband and wife. Kristy’s last social media post featuring Desmond was reportedly shared in December 2025. Additionally, the two, who married in 2014, share two sons, Vance and Westin. At this time, neither Kristy nor Desmond has publicly addressed the divorce.

From lighthearted skits to viral moments, the couple often gave followers a front-row seat to their dynamic. As recently as October 2025, Kristy posted a viral clip trying on Gucci heels with the caption, “If you walk in them, you can buy them,” going all out with flips, twirls, and dance moves.
