Why Desmond Scott and Kristy Sarah Got Divorced?

The legal proceedings began on Dec. 30, 2025, when Kristy Scott (who often goes by Kristy Sarah online) officially filed for divorce in Harris County, Texas. According to court documents, Kristy cited "infidelity" as the primary reason for the dissolution of the marriage, stating there was no possibility of reconciliation.

In her petition, Kristy also requested that the court legally restore her maiden name, Small. While she has remained relatively quiet on social media regarding the specifics of the split, she recently shared a post with the caption "Same address," suggesting she remains in the family’s newly built Houston home while Desmond has reportedly moved out.

"I want to begin by apologising to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted," Scott wrote. "I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused." He emphasised that his priority remains being a "present and loving parent" to their two young sons, Vance and Westin.
