Kelley, 48, also emphasized the importance of protecting their kids and moving forward as a family in her announcement.
“It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,” she wrote. “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.”
“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,” The Real World: New Orleans alum added. “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.”
She concluded: “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. 🤍”
Both Scott and Kelley seemed to be struggling in their relationship in the time leading up to the divorce through social media posts.
To commemorate their milestone 20th anniversary in May 2024, Kelley told a story about a moment when she recalled telling her then-husband: “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.”
She went on to explain that while she “was ready to walk out the door,” Scott fought to stay together. “He said, ‘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.’”
Scott hinted that he was at his "lowest point" less than a month before news of his separation.
In a more cryptic post, which didn’t include a caption, Scott shared a video about getting through challenging times just two weeks before the split.
“Your lowest point is the doorway to your highest self,” the narrator said as a slideshow of spiritual images appeared in the background. “For when the heart breaks, something far deeper is taking place than mere misfortune. We often don’t realize the value of the darkness until it has passed. For only in the absence of light that we learn to become the light. The human mind seeks comfort but the soul stirs for change. It longs to grow, not to stay the same.”
“As I’ve said before, the meaning of life is just to be alive,” it continued. “And yet we resist the very currents that are pulling us into deeper awareness of that aliveness. You’re not here to chase happiness like a dog chasing its tail. Happiness is a byproduct of becoming whole. Wholeness requires continuous dark and light. Sorrow and joy. Breaking and rebuilding. So when it hurts, let it hurt. Don’t run. Sit with it. Listen to it. And when you finally rise from it, you’ll realize the joy was never in the outcome, but in the transformation.”
It concluded: “Feed the soul, not the ego. Choose evolution over escape. And the light you’re searching for will no longer be something you can find. It will be something you are.”
