Desmond Scott, a popular social media personality and chef, has confirmed his divorce from wife Kristy Scott, taking responsibility for the dissolution of their marriage.

In a statement posted on Sunday via Instagram story, Desmond revealed he initiated separation talks in late 2025 and made “choices” he regretted, leading to their decision to divorce.

Desmond apologised to Kristy, their family, and followers, stressing Kristy’s importance as the mother of their two boys and committed to co-parenting.

The statement reads, “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.

“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”.

Desmond asked for privacy and thanked supporters, vowing 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”.
